  2. Deep Cleaning: Periodically, disassemble the rack by removing the cutlery holder and the main aluminum rack from the drip tray.

Troubleshooting

  • Issue: Cutlery holder is unstable.
    Solution: Ensure the cutlery holder is fully inserted and seated correctly in its designated slot. Avoid overloading one side with excessively heavy or tall items. Distribute cutlery evenly.
  • Issue: Water is pooling on the countertop instead of draining into the sink.
    Solution: Verify that the dish rack is positioned with the angled end of the drip tray extending directly over the sink basin. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing water flow.
