The silverware basket is designed with eight
compartments to help keep the silverware separated.
Load silverware with the handles downwards and spread
it out as much as possible to avoid nesting. For safety,
load sharp knives with the handles up.
Avoid placing silverware made of different materials
(e.g., silver and stainless) in the same compartment
because of the risk of discoloration. (See page 13.)
Small Items Containment Lid
The silverware basket has a lid in the middle that snaps
down over the compartments to its left or right to contain
small, lightweight items that might slip through the rack
tines or get washed out of the basket. The small items
lid is slotted, so you also could use it to keep silverware
separated, such as teaspoons.
When loading silverware, try to
avoid nesting the spoons and forks.

After you have scraped off the large food particles, place
glasses, cups, saucers, bowls and small plates in the
upper basket, as illustrated.
The fold-down cup shelf on the left side of the basket
gives you an additional place to stack cups and small
bowls.
NOTE: When loading sharp items, always be careful
not to cut the rack coating.

Your new dishwasher features ASKO’s Self Cleaning
System™. This means that after prewash, mainwash
and intermediate rinse the water is drained out and the
cycle continues with clean water.
If you plan to start your dishwasher right away, it’s not
necessary to rinse the dishes. You do, however, need
to scrape off the large particles of food before loading.
Load larger items in the lower basket, such as, dinner
plates, pots and pans, serving dishes, and casseroles.
Be sure to load dishware facing downward or toward
the center of the dishwasher.
