Dishwasher Features
Your KitchenAid dishwasher may have some or all of these features. 
ProScrub
®
 Option Wash Area
The ProScrub
®
 option wash area is located at the back of the lower 
level rack.
NOTE: You must select the ProScrub
®
 option to use this feature. 
Make sure items do not interfere with the water feed tube, spray 
arms, or ProScrub
®
 spray jets.
Keep the last tine row in the back of the lower rack in the 
60° angled position when using the ProScrub
®
 option.
Load pans, casserole dishes, etc., in the back of the lower dish 
rack with the soiled surfaces facing the ProScrub
®
 spray jets, 
and resting on the last row of tines in the angled position
.
 
Only one row of items may face the ProScrub
®
 spray jets. 
Stacking, overlapping or nesting items will keep the ProScrub
®
 
spray jets from contacting all of the surfaces.
Silverware Basket
Use the slots in the covers to 
keep your silverware separated 
for optimum wash. There are 
specially designed slots (small 
round holes) for chopsticks. Mix 
silverware types to keep them 
separated. Load knives down, 
forks up, and alternate spoons, 
for best cleaning results.
NOTE: If your 
silverware 
does not fit 
into the 
designated 
slots, flip the 
covers up and 
push them 
down into the 
basket.
CULINARY CADDY

 Utensil Basket
Use the utensil basket to hold 
specialty cooking utensils (serving 
spoons, spatulas, and similar items), 
or overflow silverware items.
The basket hangs on the bottom rack 
in the right-hand corner. Load the 
basket while it is on the bottom rack 
or remove the basket for loading on 
a counter or table. 
NOTE: Spin the spray arms. Be sure 
items in the basket do not stop the 
rotation of the spray arms.

Fold down the extra shelf on the left-hand or right-hand side of the 
mid level rack to hold additional cups, stemware or long items such

stemware or other tall items in the top rack. 
FLEXI-FOLD DOWN™ Flexible Tines
The row of tines on the left-
hand and right-hand sides 
of the top rack can be 
adjusted to make room for 
a variety of dishes.
