The silverware basket is designed with eight compartments to
help keep the silverware separated. Load silverware with the
handles downwards and spread it out as much as possible to
avoid nesting. For safety, load sharp  knives with the handles
up.

Avoid placing silverware made of different materials (e.g., silver
and stainless) in the same compartment  because of the risk
of discoloration. (See page 13.)

Small Items Containment Lid

The silverware basket has a lid in the middle that snaps down
over the compartments to its left or right to contain small,
lightweight items that might slip through the rack tines or get
washed out of the basket. The small items lid is slotted, so
you also could use it to keep silverware separated, such as
teaspoons.

When loading silverware, try to avoid
nesting the spoons and forks.

LOADING THE UPPER BASKET

After you have scraped off the large food particles, place
glasses, cups, saucers, bowls and small plates in the upper
basket, as illustrated.

The fold-down cup shelf on the left side of the basket gives
you an additional place to stack cups and small bowls.

NOTE:

  When loading sharp items, always be careful not to

cut the rack coating.

Your new dishwasher features ASKO’s Self Cleaning
System™. This means that after prewash, mainwash
and intermediate rinse the water is drained out and the
cycle continues with clean water.

If you plan to start your dishwasher right away, it’s not
necessary to rinse the dishes. You do, however, need
to scrape off the large particles of food before loading.

Load larger items in the lower basket, such as, dinner plates,
pots and pans, serving dishes, and casseroles. Be sure to load
dishware facing downward or toward the center of the
dishwasher.
