LOADING THE CUTLERY BASKET

Warning! Do not put long-bladed knives in a vertical position. Arrange long and sharp cutlery horizontally in the upper basket. Be careful with sharp items.

Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with their handles facing upwards

Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from nesting together.

For best results we recommend you use the cutlery grids. If the size and dimensions of the cutlery do not allow the use of the grids, they can be easily hidden or removed.
