PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES Loading the Silverware Basket CAUTION Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items. Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down. Failure to do so may result in injury. Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model. Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table. In some models small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob holders, etc., can be placed in a covered section. Close the cover to hold small items in place. Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase washability of the silverware. • Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or rack to block the spray arm. • Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the silver finish Adding an article To add or remove items after wash cycle starts: • Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until wash action stops before opening. • Add the item and wait a few seconds to allow cold air to slowly expand inside dishwasher. • To resume cycle press the START/CANCEL pad and close the door immediately. Loading the Cutlery Tray The Cutlery Tray is designed for flatware and most cooking or serving utensils. Heavily soiled utensils or items with baked on foods should be placed in the upper rack or silverware basket for best washing performance. The separators on the cutlery tray help keep flatware separated to avoid damage and improve cleaning. 11
