Loading Silverware Basket

Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling water droplets onto the silverware.

■Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob 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. Load items using the slots with the covers down to avoid silverware nesting.

■This silverware basket can be separated and placed into the bottom rack in several locations. Load silverware in all sections or just one, depending upon your load.

■If your silverware basket does not have covers or when covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items.

IMPORTANT: Always load items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down.

To remove a small basket

1.Hold the center basket and one small basket. Slide the small basket forward to release the tabs from the corresponding slots.

2.Pull the baskets apart.

NOTES:

■Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing.

■Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices, etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do not have a full load to wash immediately.
