Dishwasher Use - Kenmore 665.16982 Use & Care Manual

• Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of
the dishwasher tub because they might block the water inlet
opening.
NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or
cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.
Fold-down tines
You can fold down one or both rows of tines at the back of the
bottom rack.
• 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.
IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.)
pointing down.
To remove a small basket
1. Hold the center basket and one small basket. Slide the small
basket forward to release the tabs from the corresponding
slots.
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.
Knife Holder
Use the Knife Holder on the left side of the bottom rack to hold
knives that are too large for the silverware basket. Place knives in
the holder as shown.
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.
