Loading The Silverware Basket; Using Your Dishwasher; Detergent Dispenser - Kenmore 15777 Use And Care Manual

Loading the
Silverware Basket
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or
take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the
racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.
Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn
cob holders, etc., in the section(s) with hinged cover(s).
Close the cover to hold small items in place (on some
models).
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.
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,
forks, 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.
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.
USING YOUR
DISHWASHER
Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash
section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you
close the door.
1. Cover
2. Main wash section
3. Cover latch
4. Pre-wash section
The larger Main Wash section automatically empties
detergent into the dishwasher during the main wash. (See
the "Cycle Selection Chart.")
Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other
detergents can produce excessive suds that can
overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing
performance.
• Add detergent just before starting cycle.
• Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place.
Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better
cleaning.
NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.
Filling the dispenser
1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by
pushing the Cover latch.
2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See "How
Much Detergent to Use."
3. Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fill the Pre-
Wash section if needed.
It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing
detergent.
NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use
only the covered section for cycles with 1 wash. See the
"Cycle Selection Chart" for more details.
