Using this Fisher & Paykel cutlery basket is easy. Simply place your cutlery in the six compartments according to their types, like forks, spoons, and knives. Make sure not to overfill the compartments to allow for proper water circulation during the dishwasher cycle. When it comes to maintenance, you can periodically remove the basket from the dishwasher and rinse it under running water to get rid of any food particles stuck in the compartments. If there are stubborn stains, you can soak it in warm, soapy water for a while and then gently scrub it with a soft brush. Also, always check the basket for any signs of wear and tear, and if you notice any damage, replace it promptly to ensure optimal performance of your dishwasher.
