Owner's Manual

Proper Loading Continued Fold down divider (on models so equipped) A fold down divider at the back of the rack can be lowered to make room for deep bowls, roasters, etc.

Silverware basket loading Load forks and spoons so they don�t nest together. Spray can�t reach nested items. Mix items in each section of the basket. Small items - baby bottle caps, jar lids, etc. -can be put in any section. The silverware basket can be loaded while its in place on the door, or it can be taken out for loading on the counter or table. It can also be removed for easy unloading. Always unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware. To remove the basket, slide it toward the top of the door-by the handle. Lift it off the holding buttons. To replace the basket, set it on the holding buttons. Slide the basket toward the bottom of the door until it locks in place.

To open the basket, unhook the latch as shown. Be sure the cover is completely latched before pulling out the bottom rack and before closing the dishwasher door.

Personal Injury Hazard To avoid cuts from sharp items (knives, forks, skewers, etc.), make sure these items are put in point down. Cutlery basket loading (on models so equipped) Remove and replace thecutlery basket in the same way as the silverware basket. Use the cutlery basket for long items. Remove the basket and tip contents onto a cutting board to unload. This can help avoid accidents with sharp points and edges. 14
