Utensil Baskets

Removable Standard Utensil Basket (select models)

For best cleaning results, prevent items from nesting together by placing some items in the basket with handles up and some with handles down. Load knives, handles up and spoons and forks handles down, through the slots in the hinged covered section(s) (when closed).

Be sure that thin, finely pointed items do not extend through the basket. This could block the lower wash arm.

Small, lightweight items like baby spoons and plastic measuring spoons should be placed in the section(s) with the hinged cover(s).
