Personal Safety Hazard
To avoid cuts from sharp items
[knives, forks, skewers, etc.), make
sure these items are put in point
down.
The silverware
basket can be
loaded while
irs in place on
the door, or it
can be taken
/
out for loading
on the counter
or table. It can also be removed
for
easy
unloading. Always unload or remove the
basket before unloading the racks to
avoid spilling water droplets on the
silverware.
To remove the
basket, slide it to-
ward the top of
the door - by the
handle. Lift it off
the holding but-
tons. Replace it in
reverse order.
To open the basket, unhook the latch as
shown. Be sure the cover is
completely latched before
pulling out the bottom rack
and before closing the
dishwasher door.
Remove and replace the
cutlery basket in the same way as the
silverware basket. Use the cutlery basket
for long items. Remove the basket and tip
contents onto a
cutting board
to unload.
This can
help avoid
accidents
with sharp
points and
edges.
