Silverware basket loading
Load forks and spoons so they don't nest
together. Spray can't reach nested items.
Mix items in each section of the basket. Small
items - baby bottle caps, jar lids, etc. -can be
put in any section.
The silverware basket can be loaded while it's in
place on the door, or it can be taken out for loading
on the counter or table. Always unload or remove
the basket before unloading the racks to avoid
spilling water droplets on the silverware.
To remove the basket, slide it toward the top
of the door - by the handle. Lift it off the holding
buttons. 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.
I
To avoid cuts from sharp items (knives,
forks, skewers, etc.), make sure these items
are put in point down.

Cutlery basket loading
Remove and replace the cutlery basket in the
same way as the silverware basket. Use the cut-
lery 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.
