To make unloading much easier, cutlery
should be grouped in zones, one for
knives, one for forks, one for spoons,
etc.
Spoon heads should be placed in
contact with at least one of the serrated
retainers on the base of the cutlery tray
to ensure that water runs off them freely.

blocked by items which are too big
(e.g. cake slices).

slots to either side of the cutlery
basket.
