Dishwasher Features

Your KitchenAid dishwasher may have some or all of these features. 

ProScrub

®

 Option Wash Area

The ProScrub

®

 option wash area is located at the back of the lower 

level rack and the front corners of the upper level rack.

NOTE: You must select the ProScrub

®

 option to use this feature. 

Make sure items do not interfere with the water feed tube, spray 
arms, or the lower rack ProScrub

®

 spray jets.

Keep the last tine row in the back of the lower rack in the 
60° angled position when using the ProScrub

®

 option.

In the back of the lower rack, load pans, casserole dishes, etc., 
with the soiled surfaces facing the ProScrub

®

 Plus spray jets, 

and resting on the last row of tines in the angled position.  

Only one row of items may face the ProScrub

®

 spray jets. 

Stacking, overlapping or nesting items will keep the ProScrub

®

 

spray jets from contacting all of the surfaces.

In the upper rack, place tall or oddly shaped glasses or bottles 
in the front corners of the rack face down. It is best to load 
these items in between rows of tines.

ProScrub

®

 Trio (on some models)

Lower jets clean pans, casseroles, etc., with tough food soil to 
eliminate the need for soaking and scrubbing of dirty, baked-on 
dishes. 

Upper rack has two spray zones in the front corners to reach into 
deeper or oddly shaped items.

Silverware Basket

Use the slots in the covers to keep your 
silverware separated for optimum wash. 
There are specially designed slots (small 
round holes) for chopsticks. Mix 
silverware types to keep them separated. 
Load knives down, forks up, and 
alternate spoons, for best cleaning results.

NOTE: If your 
silverware does not 
fit into the 
designated slots, 
lift and slide the 
covers off of the 
silverware basket. 

CULINARY CADDY

®

 Utensil Basket

Use the utensil basket to hold specialty 
cooking utensils (serving spoons, 
spatulas, and similar items), or 
overflow silverware items.

The basket hangs on the bottom rack 
in the right-hand corner. Load the 
basket while it is on the bottom rack or 
remove the basket for loading on a 
counter or table. 

NOTE: Spin the spray arms. Be sure 
items in the basket do not stop the 
rotation of the spray arms.

SURE-HOLD

®

 Cup and Stemware Holder

Fold down the extra shelf on the left-hand or right-hand side of the 
mid level rack to hold additional cups, stemware or long items such 
as utensils and spatulas.

NOTE: Remove the culinary tool basket(s) when washing tall 
stemware or other tall items in the top rack. 

FLEXI-FOLD DOWN™ Flexible Tines

The row of tines on the left-hand and 
right-hand sides of the top rack can 
be adjusted to make room for a 
variety of dishes.

To adjust the fold-down tines:
1. 
Grasp the tip of the tine that is in 

the tine holder.

2. Gently push the tine out of the 

holder.

3. Lay the tines down, toward the 

center of the rack.

NOTE: The bottom rack may also have 1 or 2 rows of flexible tines 
located in the back of the rack. Follow the same instructions to 
adjust. 

SURE-HOLD

®

 Light Item Clips

The light item clips hold lightweight plastic items 
such as cups, lids, or bowls in place during 
washing.

To move a clip:
1. 
Pull the clip up and off the tine.

2. Reposition the clip on another tine.
