The cutlery rack is best suited for flatware. The separators on the cutlery racks help keep flatware separated to avoid damage and improve cleaning.
For best cleaning performance, place flatware in the silverware baskets. Heavily soiled utensils or items with baked on foods should be placed in the upper rack or spoon basket for best performance.
Loading Silverware into the Cutlery Rack
Do not place bowls in the center of the cutlery rack. The door may not close properly, resulting in leakage.
Height Adjustable Tray
The tray on the left side can be adjusted to a high or low position to accommodate utensils or cutlery of different sizes. Remove dishes before adjusting the tray. Adjust the tray by sliding the lever.
Sliding Tray
The tray on the right side of the cutlery rack can be slid to the left if more space is needed on the upper rack for items such as tall glasses, water bottles, or baby bottles. Remove silverware before adjusting the tray.
