Using this cutlery basket is easy. Just place your cutlery inside the basket and put it in your Bosch or Siemens dishwasher. Make sure not to overload the basket to ensure proper cleaning. When it comes to maintenance, after each use, rinse the basket under warm water to remove any food particles. You can also soak it in a mild detergent solution occasionally to keep it clean. If you notice any damage, replace it promptly to avoid issues with your dishwasher. And always refer to your dishwasher's manual for specific usage guidelines.
