The split silverware basket can be separated and placed
into the bottom rack in several locations.
Hold the basket firmly and slide apart. You can use both
sections or just one section to load silverware.
Cup shelf
Fold down the extra shelf on the left side of the lower rack
to hold small items such as cups or utensils.
Flexible tines, bottom rack
You can fold down one or both rows of tines at the back of
the bottom rack.
1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
2. Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.
3. Lay the row of tines down in the rack to make room for
larger dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.
Loading the
Silverware Basket
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or
take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the
racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.
■ Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn
cob holders, etc., in the section(s) with hinged cover(s).
Close the cover to hold small items in place.
■ This silverware basket can be separated and placed
into the bottom rack in several locations. Load
silverware in both sections or just one, depending upon
your load.
■ Mix items in each section of the basket with some
pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray
cannot reach nested items.
IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items (knives, skewers,
forks, etc.) pointing down.
To separate the baskets
1. Hold the basket firmly.
2. Slide it apart.
NOTES:
■ Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with
stainless steel. These metals can be damaged by
contact with each other during washing.
■ Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit
juices, etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse
cycle if you do not have a full load to wash immediately.
