Dishwasher Features Your KitchenAid dishwasher may have some or all of these features. ProScrub® Option Wash Area The ProScrub® option wash area is located at the back of the lower level rack and the front corners of the upper level rack. A A. Back of dishwasher NOTE: You must select the ProScrub® option to use this feature. Make sure items do not interfere with the water feed tube, spray arms, or the lower rack ProScrub® spray jets. ■ Keep the last tine row in the back of the lower rack in the 60° angled position when using the ProScrub® option. ■ In the back of the lower rack, load pans, casserole dishes, etc., with the soiled surfaces facing the ProScrub® Plus spray jets, and resting on the last row of tines in the angled position. ■ Only one row of items may face the ProScrub® spray jets. Stacking, overlapping or nesting items will keep the ProScrub® spray jets from contacting all of the surfaces. ■ In the upper rack, place tall or oddly shaped glasses or bottles in the front corners of the rack face down. It is best to load these items in between rows of tines. ProScrub® Trio (on some models) Lower jets clean pans, casseroles, etc., with tough food soil to eliminate the need for soaking and scrubbing of dirty, baked-on dishes. Upper rack has two spray zones in the front corners to reach into deeper or oddly shaped items. Silverware Basket Use the slots in the covers to keep your silverware separated for optimum wash. There are specially designed slots (small round holes) for chopsticks. Mix silverware types to keep them separated. Load knives down, forks up, and alternate spoons, for best cleaning results. NOTE: If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots, lift and slide the covers off of the silverware basket. CULINARY CADDY® Utensil Basket Use the utensil basket to hold specialty cooking utensils (serving spoons, spatulas, and similar items), or overflow silverware items. The basket hangs on the bottom rack in the right-hand corner. Load the basket while it is on the bottom rack or remove the basket for loading on a counter or table. NOTE: Spin the spray arms. Be sure items in the basket do not stop the rotation of the spray arms. SURE-HOLD® Cup and Stemware Holder Fold down the extra shelf on the left-hand or right-hand side of the mid level rack to hold additional cups, stemware or long items such as utensils and spatulas. NOTE: Remove the culinary tool basket(s) when washing tall stemware or other tall items in the top rack. FLEXI-FOLD DOWN™ Flexible Tines The row of tines on the left-hand and right-hand sides of the top rack can be adjusted to make room for a variety of dishes. To adjust the fold-down tines: 1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder. 2. Gently push the tine out of the holder. 3. Lay the tines down, toward the center of the rack. NOTE: The bottom rack may also have 1 or 2 rows of flexible tines located in the back of the rack. Follow the same instructions to adjust. SURE-HOLD® Light Item Clips The light item clips hold lightweight plastic items such as cups, lids, or bowls in place during washing. To move a clip: 1. Pull the clip up and off the tine. 2.
