Operating
Proper loading of the cutlery basket is essential for optimal cleaning performance.
- Open the Lid: The basket features a removable lid with perforations. Lift the lid to access the internal compartments.
- Load Cutlery: Place cutlery items such as forks, spoons, and knives into the individual compartments. For best results, mix items and ensure they are not nested together, allowing water to circulate freely. Knives should generally be placed with handles up for safety, while forks and spoons can be placed handles down.
- Secure the Lid (Optional): If desired, replace the perforated lid to help keep smaller items contained and prevent them from falling out during the wash cycle.

Maintenance

- Rinse After Use: After each dishwasher cycle, remove any food debris that may have accumulated in the basket or its compartments.
- Deep Cleaning: Periodically, the basket can be washed by hand with warm, soapy water and a soft brush to remove stubborn residue. Ensure all perforations and compartments are thoroughly cleaned.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the basket for any signs of damage or wear. If the plastic becomes cracked or brittle, it may be time for a replacement to ensure optimal performance and prevent potential issues during washing.

Troubleshooting
- Cutlery Not Clean: Ensure cutlery is not overcrowded in the compartments. Vary the orientation of items (some handles up, some down) to allow water and detergent to reach all surfaces. Check dishwasher spray arms for blockages.
