(Design varies depending on model]
The basket can be removed for ease in loading and
unloading items, Place items in the basket with some
handles up and some down. This prevents them from
nesting together and improves cleaning results. (Knives
or sharp, pointed items should be placed in the basket
with the handles up. Be sure thin, finely pointed items
do not extend through the basket and block the lower
wash arm.)
Use the covered section of the basket for small, light-
weight items like baby spoons, plastic measuring
spoons, small plastic items, etc. Close the cover.
