Cutlery/Silverware Basket 

Silverware should be placed in the cutlery basket with handles 
directed toward the bottom. If the rack has side baskets, spoons 
should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots. Knives and 
other sharp utensils should be placed in the basket with handles up. 
Longer utensils should be placed in the horizontal position on the cup 
shelf instead of in the basket.  

 

Review the diagram below for proper utensil placement: 

 

For personal safety and the highest quality wash, securely place all 
silverware in the basket: 

 

Be sure that similar pieces of silverware do not nest together. 

 

Place most silverware with handles down. 

 

Place knives and other potentially dangerous utensils handles-
up.
