Setup

The AEG 1525593008 cutlery basket is designed for easy integration into compatible AEG dishwashers. Follow these steps for proper setup:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the cutlery basket from its packaging. Inspect for any damage during transit.
2. Placement: Locate the designated area for the cutlery basket in your dishwasher's lower rack. This is typically a flat section or a specific slot designed to hold the basket securely.
3. Orientation: Ensure the basket is placed with the handle facing upwards or in a position that allows for easy access and removal.

Operating

Proper loading of the cutlery basket is essential for effective cleaning and to prevent damage to your cutlery or dishwasher.

• Loading Cutlery: Place cutlery items into the individual compartments of the basket. For best results, mix different types of cutlery (e.g., forks, spoons, knives) to prevent nesting.
• Knives and Sharp Objects: For safety, place knives and other sharp objects with their handles pointing upwards. This reduces the risk of injury when unloading.
• Spoons and Forks: Place spoons and forks with their handles pointing downwards to ensure the eating surfaces are thoroughly cleaned.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not overcrowd the basket. Overloading can hinder water circulation and lead to poorly cleaned cutlery.
• Lid Usage: The basket includes a perforated lid. This lid can be used to secure smaller items or to provide additional separation for cutlery, preventing them from moving excessively during the wash cycle.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your cutlery basket, regular maintenance is recommended.

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically rinse the basket under running water to remove any food debris that may accumulate in the compartments or perforations.
• Deep Cleaning: If stubborn stains or residue appear, the basket can be washed by hand with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Ensure all soap residue is thoroughly rinsed off.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the basket for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. A damaged basket may not hold cutlery securely or could potentially scratch the dishwasher interior.
