Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down. Small items - baby bottle caps, jar lids, etc. - can be put in any section.

The silverware basket can be loaded while it’s in place on the door, or it can be taken out for loading on the counter or table.

It can also be removed for easy un- loading. Always unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.

To remove the basket, slide it to- ward the top of the door- by the handle. Lift it off the holding but- tons. Replace it in reverse order.

To open the basket, unhook the latch as shown Be sure the cover is

completely latched be- fore pulling out the bottom rack and before closing the dishwasher door.

Remove and replace the

cutlery basket in the same way as the silverware basket. Use the cutlery basket for long items. Remove the basket and tip

contents onto a cutting board

to unload. This can help avoid accidents with sharp

points and edges.
