The cutlery basket

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential
hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be
positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.

Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery basket
with the handles facing downwards and the knives with their handles
facing upwards. 
If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the
lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.
To unload your dishwasher more easily, you can take the cutlery basket
out of the lower basket and unfold it. This makes it easier to remove
small pieces of cutlery.

Important note!

To prevent the full cutlery basket from inadvertently

unfolding when being taken out, place your hand right round the two-
piece handle and hold it firmly.

1.

Place the cutlery basket on a firm support (table, worktop) and 
unfold both handle parts.

2.

After unfolding, fold back both handle parts.
