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 15.)
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.
Load stemware with the stem fitted inside one of the grooved tines on
the stemware rack. The row of tines by the stemware rack is adjustable
to prevent glassware from bumping together (clattering). Load the
glassware then use the lever to adjust the tines until the items are
secure.
The fold-down cup shelf on the right side of the basket gives you an
additional place to stack cups and small bowls. The cup shelf is divided,
which gives you more loading flexibility.
This model has a knife stop on the front of the upper basket and special
slots to hold the blades securely in place. This gives you a safe place
to load long utensils and knives that won’t fit in the silverware or knife/
utensil basket. The knife stop prevents knives or utensils from damaging the door when you open and close it.
NOTE:
When loading sharp items, always be careful not to cut the rack coating.
Whenever possible, knives and long utensils should be loaded in the knife/
utensil basket attached above the upper basket. To avoid injury, items with
sharp ends should
always
be loaded with the sharp ends pointed toward the
back of the dishwasher. Again, always be careful not to cut the rack coating
when loading sharp items.

Your new dishwasher features ASKO’s Super Cleaning
System™. This means that after prewash, mainwash
and intermediate rinse the water is drained out and
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. The rear tines
easily fold down to provide space for large items, such as pots
and pans. Be sure to load dishware facing downward or toward
the center of the dishwasher.

The plate guard on the bottom front of the upper basket
(see page 3) is designed to prevent you from loading
dishes in the lower basket that are too tall and could
interfere with the spray arm rotation. If an item strikes
the plate guard when you slide the lower basket into the
dishwasher, it should be removed or rearranged.
