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.

 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.

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.
To adjust the fold-down tines:
1. 
Grasp the tip of the tine that

2. Gently push the tine out of 
the holder.

the center of the rack.
