Preparing & Loading Dishes 11 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. • Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob holders, etc., in a covered section. Close the cover to hold small items in place. • Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or rack to block the lower spray arm. • Do not mix silver and stainless items to avoid damaging the silver finish. TO AVOID CUT INJURY: Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down. Failure to do so may result in injury. When covers are up, mix non-sharp items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items. Knife Basket The knife basket can be used for large knives. ADDING A DISH To add or remove items after wash cycle starts: 1 Open door slightly and wait a few seconds until wash action stops before completely opening. 2 Add the item. 3 Close door firmly to latch and cycle will automatically resume. Versa Tray The versa tray can be used in the upper rack to hold spatulas, large spoons and other large utensils. TO AVOID BURN INJURY: Slightly open door and wait until spray arms and wash action stop. Hot water may splash out of dishwasher. Failure to do so may result in injury.
