Preparing and Loading Dishes
(continued)
...................................................................
Loading the Silverware Basket
Cut Injury
Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.)
pointing down.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
When covers are up, mix items in each section of
the basket with some pointing up and some down
to avoid nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested
items.
Features and appearance of racks and silverware
basket may vary from your model.
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom
rack or take the basket out for loading on a
counter or table.
Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids,
corn cob holders, etc., in a covered section. Close
the cover to hold small items in place.
Adding a Dish
To add or remove items after wash cycle starts:
• Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until wash
action stops before opening.
• Add the item and wait a few seconds to allow
cold air to slowly expand inside dishwasher.
• Close door firmly to latch and resume cycle.
Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to
increase washability of your silverware.
Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of
basket or rack to block the spray arm.
Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging
the silver finish.
The silverware basket can be separated and
placed in several locations in the bottom rack.
Load silverware in all sections or just one,
depending on your load.
