For best results cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, etc. making unloading easier. Place the blades of knives and the tines of forks between the holders. Spoons should be placed in the opposite direction with the handle in the holder. Longer items such as soup ladles, spatulas, mixing spoons and long knives should be placed lengthwise in the indentation in the middle of the cutlery tray. The upper spray arm must not be blocked by large pieces. The cutlery tray insert is removable.
Spoon heads should be placed in contact with the serrated retainers of the cutlery tray so water can run off.
If a spoon handle does not fit securely between the holders then place it like the forks and knives. Do not cover the opening in the middle of the cutlery tray. Make sure that the upper spray arm can rotate freely after the tray is slid in; otherwise the rotation of the spray arms may be inadequate for a thorough cleaning.
