UI51 UI12 The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls. To lower the prongs: - Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down (see picture). - To bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up again. UI83 UI84 17 Cutlery basket Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives. Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing downwards. Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent the from sticking together. Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cutlery. Place it in the cutlery basket separate from the others.
