Wash Tower
Silverware Baskets
To remove end baskets, grasp the basket
at opposite corners and slide apart. The
basket sections should be placed in the
lower rack by hanging then on the top
hoop.
Forget a dish? Here's when you can add it.
Add dishes any time during the RINSE & HOLD
cycle. With other wash cycles, you can add dishes
at any time BEFORE the main detergent wash
portion of the cycle.
However, opening the door during any cycle
lessens cleaning power. So try to load everything
at the beginning.
Keep the center area clear in the lower rack.
The wash tower rises through the center of the lower rack
during the wash and rinse portions of the cycle. The wash
tower shoots water into the mid-level wash arm located
under the upper rack. Blocking the wash tower could
result in poor wash performance for items in the upper
rack.
Don't block it or load tall things next to it.
A variety of options is available regarding the three-piece
silverware basket in your dishwasher. The complete
basket is designed to fit on the right side or back of the
lower rack. Additionally, each end of the basket is
removable to better accommodate flatware and lower rack
capacity needs.
To load flatware, simply push the adjustable handle to
either side. Put flatware in the basket with knife handles
up to protect your hands. Place spoons in the basket with
handles down. Mix knives, forks and spoons so they don't
nest together. Distribute evenly. Small plastic items, such
as measuring spoons and lids for small containers, should
go in the bottom of the silverware basket with silverware
on top.
The lids of both end baskets can be closed to contain
small items. Long items can be placed on the cupshelf in
the upper rack.
Here's how to add a forgotten dish:
1. Push the door latch to the left. Washing will
stop.
2. Wait a few seconds until the water calms. Then
open the door. WARNING: Hot vapor may rise
from opened door.
3. Add dishes you've forgotten.
4. Close the door and push the latch to the far
right. When the door is locked, washing will
continue.
