Figure 7. Lower Rack with Mixed Load
• Silverware should be mixed when placed in the silverware
basket, The purpose of mixing the silverware is to avoid
having them nest together, for example if spoons would
be placed together they could nest together so that water
could not properly circulate across them to clean the
surfaces,
• Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with
the handles clown,with the exception of the knives, which
in order to avoid accidentally cutting oneself, should be
placed with the handles up,
If you do inadvertently load the silverware basket with the
knife blades up, to avoid cutting yourself when unloading, it is
recommended that you remove the silverware basket from
the dishwasher and tip the contents out onto a cutting board,
If more space is needed for pots and pans, the rear two
sets of tines can be folded to the clown 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 clown position to accommodate large pots,
UNLOADING
When unloading the dishwasher, always unload the lower
rack first and then unload the upper rack, This will minimize
the chance of drops from the upper rack falling on the dishes
in the lower rack, The silverware basket of the Thermador _'
dishwasher may be removed for easy unloading,
Also, when unloading, it is recommended that the dishes be
allowed to cool before handling, The dishes will cool more
quickly if the door is opened slightly,
