Loading The Silverware Basket - Whirlpool 940 Series Use And Care Manual

Loading the Silverware Basket

Load the silverware basket while it is in the dishwasher 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.
To open the silverware basket
Unlock the latch.
NOTE: Be sure the cover is completely latched before pulling out
the bottom rack and before closing the dishwasher door.
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.
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, etc.)
pointing down.
The silverware basket can be hung on the door or on the
bottom rack (see illustration).
The silverware basket can also be placed inside the bottom

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.
Cutlery Basket (on some models)
Use the cutlery basket to hold long items. Always unload or
remove the cutlery basket before unloading the racks to avoid

and edges.
