Loading Silverware Basket - Kenmore 665.1372 Use & Care Manual

Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a
■
variety of ways depending upon their size and shape.
Load bowls securely between the rows of tines. Do not
nest bowls because the spray will not reach all
surfaces.
12 place setting
Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items
■
at the sides and back. Loading such items in front can
keep the water spray from reaching the detergent
dispenser.
Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
■
Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop
■
rotation of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must
move freely.
■ Do not load items between the bottom rack and the
side of the dishwasher tub because they might block
the water inlet opening.
Fold-down tines
You can fold down one row 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 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.
IMPORTANT: Always load items (knives, skewers, etc.)
pointing down.
Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase
■
washability of your silverware.
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher may vary from
those shown here.
For models with center basket cover
For models without center basket cover
Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids,
■
corncob holders, etc., in a covered section. 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 all sections or just one, depending upon
your load.
If your silverware basket does not have covers or when
■
covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket
with some pointing up and some down to avoid
nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items.
To remove a small basket (on some models)
1. Hold the center basket and one small basket. Slide the
small basket forward to release the tabs from the
corresponding slots.
2. Pull the baskets 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.
Unload or remove the basket before unloading the
■
racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.
