Grasp the basket as shown and push
the two halves in opposite directions
to release the locking tabs.
Repeat step 1 on opposite end
of basket.
Pull the two halves apart.
The silverware basket is designed with flexibility in mind. It can be
positioned on the lower rack and also in the upper rack. The design also
allows the basket to be divided into two separate, smaller baskets for
additional loading options.
Loading the Dishwasher
General Loading Guidelines
• Load all items so that the force of the water and the
detergent reach soiled surfaces.
• Do not let china, crystal, and other delicate items touch
each other during dishwasher operation.
• Do not use door to push racks in.
Note:
Do not load dishes in a manner that would block the detergent
dispenser lid from completely opening. The detergent dispenser lid could
be damaged.
Note:
Do not put sterling silver or silver-plated flatware in the same
compartment with stainless steel. Contact between the metals can
damage silver.
DO NOT
put stainless steel of different qualities close to each other.
Contact can damage metals.
Rinse stainless steel items if they will not be washed immediately.
Prolonged contact with salty or acidic foods will cause stains.
Extra Quiet Operation Hints
Your dishwasher has been designed and engineered to give superior
cleaning results and to operate very quietly. To avoid any extra
clattering or thumping noises during operation:
• Keep sink drain plugs inserted during dishwasher operation to
prevent noise transfer through drains.
• Load dishes so they do not touch each other.
• Make sure lightweight items are secured in the rack.
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do
not touch interior walls.
The Silverware/Cutlery Basket
Tips for Best Cleaning Results:
• Distribute items evenly and mix knives, forks, and spoons so that
items will avoid nesting.
• Always place forks and spoons with eating portions up and handles
down.
• Compartments with lids help separate the silverware for the best
cleaning and drying results. The lids also hold small, lightweight items in
place.
•
IMPORTANT
: Sharp or pointed items, such as knives, should always
be put in with the point down to protect your hands.
