Preparing and Loading the Dishware
Loading the Silverware Basket
CAUTION
The sharp points and edges of knives and
other sharp utensils can cause serious
injuries. Load knives and other sharp
utensils with sharp points and edges
down. Do not allow children to handle or
play near knives and sharp utensils.
Keep children away from knives and other sharp
utensils.
NOTE : The silverware basket tops can be folded
up to accommodate large or oddly-shaped items.
With the silverware basket tops down, load the
silverware basket following the patterns
suggested in Figure 16. Place knives with their
handles up, and forks and spoons with their
handles down.
If large or oddly-shaped items are to be loaded
into the silverware basket with the tops up, load
the items so that they do not nest together. Load
knives and sharp utensils with their handles up.
