Silverware Basket
Put flatware in the removable basket with fork and knife handles up to protect your hands.
Place spoons in the basket with handles down. Mix knives, forks and spoons so they don't
nest together. Distribute evenly. Small plastic items, such as measuring spoons and lids from
small containers, should go in the bottom of the silverware basket with silverware on top.
To increase the flexibility of the lower rack, the silverware basket may be split (on some
models). Grasp the basket at opposite comers and slide apart. The basket secdons should
be placed in the lower rack by hanging them on the top hoop.
A cover can be lowered to either side of the split basket to secure
lightweight items from the effects of the vigorous wash action.
The accessory basket (on some models)
can hold small items such as: baby
botde nipples, plasdc lids, corn cob
holders,
etc. It can hang from the top
hoop of the upper rack along the right
side or it can also hang on the right or left
side of the lower rack. When hanging the
accessory basket on the right side in the upper rack,
make sure the rap is closed and nothingis sticking out.
