the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

holders, etc., in the covered section. Close the cover to hold
small items in place.

rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are
secured in place•

inward to the spray.
Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.
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.
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•
When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket
with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting•

pointing down.

basket forward to release the tabs from the corresponding
slots.

• 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. You can block the water inlet opening.
NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or
cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.
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•
