KitchenAid KUDM01FK manual Loading the Silverware Basket, Culinary Caddy utensil basket

■Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all surfaces.

Utensil load

■Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.

Mixed load

■Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.

■Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.

■Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the dishwasher tub. You can block the water inlet opening.

FLEXI-FOLD DOWN™ flexible tines

You can fold down one or both rows of tines at the back of the bottom rack.

1.Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.

2.Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.

3.Lay the row of tines down in the rack to make room for larger dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.

CULINARY CADDY™ utensil basket

Use the utensil basket to hold specialty cooking utensils (wooden spoons, spatulas, and similar items), or overflow silverware items.

The basket hangs on the bottom rack in the right corner. Load the basket while it is on the bottom rack or remove the basket for loading on a counter or table.

NOTE: Spin the spray arms. Be sure items in the basket do not stop the rotation of the spray arms.

Loading the 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 on the silverware.

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 sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down.

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.
