Personal Safety Hazard

To avoid cuts from sharp items (knives, forks, skewers, etc.), make sure these items are put in point down.

The silverware basket can be loaded while it’s in place on the door, or it can be taken out for load- ing on the

counter or table. It can also be removed for easy unload- ing. Always unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spill- ing water droplets on the silverware.

and cutlery baskets

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
