Cutlery Basket Silverware should be placed in the cutlery basket with handles directed toward the bottom. If the rack has side baskets, spoons should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots. Knives and other sharp utensils should be placed in the basket with handles up. Longer utensils should be placed in the horizontal position on the cup shelf instead of in the basket. WARNING: Do not let any item extend through bottom of cutlery basket. This may prevent the spray arm from spinning. For personal safety and a highest quality wash, securely place all silverware in the basket: • Be sure the similar pieces of silverware do not nest together. • Place most silverware with handles-down. • Place knives and other potentially dangerous utensils handles-up. Only Use Proper Detergent Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Do not put powder detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes. The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. With hard water, you need extra detergent to alleviate the deposits that are left by the excessive minerals. Less detergent is needed for soft water. To identify whether your water is hard or soft, contact your water department. A water softener is recommended for water that contains twelve or more grains. Without it, lime can build up in the water valve, which could stick while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called etching. For heavily soiled loads, use the HEAVY WASH Cycle, fill one or both of the interior cups, depending on the hardness of your water, and also fill the open cup on the dispenser lid. Use the information in the table below as a guideline to determine the amount of automatic dishwasher detergent to place in the dispenser: Number of Grains Less than 4 4 to 8 8 to 12 Greater than 12 Detergent Cups to Fill 15 cup 25 cup 15 and 25 cups 15, 25 cups and the open cup 11
