Loading silverware and cutlery baskets

Load	forks	and
spoons	so	they		YES
don’t	nest	to-	N

Mix items in each section of the basket. Small items- baby bottle caps, jar lids,

etc.-can be put in any section.

Make sure sharp items (knives, forks, skewers, etc.] 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.

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 boa

to unload. This can help avoid accidents with sharp points and edges.
