Cutlery Basket
Place flatware in the removable cutlery basket. 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 cutlery basket may also be used for small items, such as measuring spoons, baby bottle nipples, plastic lids, or
corn cob holders.
Removable Anti-Nesting Grid
• The anti-nesting grid clips onto the top of the cutlery
basket.
• Use the grid to separate cutlery items and stop them
from nesting together.
Removable Tablet Tray
• If using dishwasher gel pacs or tablets, place them on
the removable tablet tray, as shown. When not in use
make sure the removable tablet tray is securely stored
outside of the dishwasher. See the Dispensers section
for proper use of gel pouches and tablets.

being displaced during the wash.
