Silverware/flatware is loaded using the silverware basket lids. This ensures great wash performance of the
silverware. Loading in this manner prevents nesting and makes sure all items are washed uniformly.
Silverware Basket
Place flatware in the removable silverware baskets. Sharp
objects, such as forks and knives, may be placed with the
handles facing up, in order to protect your hands. For the
best wash performance, place other items such as spoons
with the handles facing down. Avoid allowing items to
nest together, which may keep them from being properly
washed. When loading, distribute items evenly in the basket.
The silverware baskets may also be used for small items,
such as measuring spoons, baby bottle nipples, plastic lids,
or corn cob holders. The silverware basket covers can be
closed to contain small items.
Deep Clean Silverware Jets (on some models)
Deep Clean Silverware Jets target stubborn, stuck-on food
and help separate nested spoons and forks to keep your
silverware spotless no matter how you load the silverware.
For optimal silverware cleaning, the use of silverware basket
lids is always recommended. For models with the third rack,
the Deep Clean Silverware Jets can also be used to clean
mixing bowls and other cookware.
Do not remove Deep Clean Silverware Jet
spray assembly from the dishwasher rack.
