PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES
Loading the Silverware Basket
Adding a Dish
To add or remove items after wash cycle starts:
• Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until wash
action stops before opening.
• Add the item and wait a few seconds to allow cold air
to slowly expand inside dishwasher.
• Close door firmly to latch and resume cycle.
Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the
silver finish.
The silverware basket can be separated and placed in
several locations in the bottom rack. Load silverware in
all sections or just one, depending on your load.
Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.)
pointing down.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
CAUTION
Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket
may vary from your model.
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack
or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
Fold-down Tines
The fold-down tines in the lower rack make easy loading
for those extra large and hard-to-fit items. The tines
may be left up for normal use or folded down for more
flexible loading. Fold down for more space to load large
pots or pans.
Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob
holders, etc., in a covered section. Close the cover to hold
small items in place.
Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase
washability of your silverware.
Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or
rack to block the spray arm.
When covers are up, mix items in each section of the
basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid
nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items.
