Preparing and Loading Dishes (continued)
Loading the Silverware Basket
When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items.
Cut Injury
Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob holders, etc., in a covered section. Close the cover to hold small items in place.
Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase washability of your silverware.
Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or rack to block the spray arm.
Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the silver finish.
The silverware basket can be separated and placed in several locations in the bottom rack. Load silverware in
all sections or just one, depending on your load.

1.Hold the center basket and one small basket. Slide the small basket back to release the tabs from the corresponding slots.
2.Pull the baskets apart.
