5. Operating Instructions

The door basket is designed to hold smaller items securely during the wash cycle. Proper loading ensures effective cleaning and prevents damage.

• Loading Items: Place small, lightweight items such as lids, small plastic containers, or other accessories into the basket. Ensure items are not overlapping excessively to allow water and detergent to reach all surfaces.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not overload the basket, as this can impede water circulation and lead to poor cleaning results or prevent the door from closing properly.
• Secure Items: Ensure all items are securely placed within the basket to prevent them from falling out during the wash cycle.
• Door Closure: Confirm that the dishwasher door closes and latches completely after loading the basket.

6. Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning and inspection will prolong the life of your door basket.

• Cleaning: Periodically remove the basket and rinse it under warm water to remove any food debris or residue. A soft brush can be used for stubborn spots.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the basket for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. If the basket becomes damaged, it should be replaced to prevent potential issues during dishwasher operation.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on the basket, as these can damage the material.
