Loading The Lower Rack - Bosch SHU5300 Use & Care Manual

Figure 4.
At completion of loading of the upper rack check to
make sure that nothing is protruding through or
hanging beneath the bottom of the rack, which could
block the rotation of the spray arm.
Figure 6.
Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket
with the handles down, with the exception of the
knives, which in order to avoid accidentally cutting
oneself, should be placed with the handles up.

LOADING THE LOWER RACK
• Large and/or heavily soiled items should be placed in
the lower rack of the dishwasher. Heavily soiled pots
and pans should be placed face down.
• If more space is needed for pots and pans the rear two
sets of tines can be folded to the down position, on all
models, or the rear three sets of tines, on some models.
Figure 6 shows lower basket with rear three sets of
tines in the down position to accommodate large pots.
• Silverware should be mixed when placed in the
silverware basket. The purpose of mixing the
silverware is to avoid having them nest together, tor
example if spoons would be placed together they
could nest together so that water could not properly
circulate across them to clean the surt_tces.
Figure 7.
If you do inadvertently load the silverware basket with the
knife blades up it is recommended, to avoid cutting
yourself when unloading, that you remove the silverware
basket from the dishwasher and tip the contents out onto
a cutting board.
• The Bosch dishwashers also have a pair of flip down
shelves at the back of the lower rack. These shelves
may be flipped down to hold extra large utensils, such
as serving spoons, or long knives. They also may be
used as additional cup shelves. See Figures 5 and 7.
