together. Spray can't reach nested Items.
Mix items in each section of the basket. Small
items - baby bottle caps, jar lids, etc. -can be

The silverware basket can be loaded while it's in
place on the door, or it can be taken out for loading
on the counter or table.

loading the racks to avoid spelling water droplets
on the silverware.

of the door - by the handle. Lift it off the holding
buttons.
To replace the basket, set it on the holding
buttons. Slide the basket toward the bottom of the
door until it locks in place.
To open the basket, unhook the latch as
shown. Be sure the cover is completely latched
before pulling out the bottom rack and before
closing the dishwasher door.

forks, skewers, etc.), make sure these items
are put in point down.
