[. . . ] ­ Wash delicate glassware with a low temperature program and without the extended drying feature to reduce the risk of clouding. ­ If crystal or delicate glasses will be washed frequently, connect the dishwasher to cold, rather than hot water. ­ Clouding or etching may occur on glasses after frequent washing. ­ When purchasing new dishes, glasses and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher safe. ­ Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may be damp or spotted at the end of a program where water has adhered to the polish. Silver that has been cleaned in an immersion dip is usually dry at the end of a program, but may tarnish. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, legumes, fish, fish brine and marinades. ­ Silverware may tarnish or pit if washed next to stainless steel. Leave space between these metals. 22 Loading the dishwasher Cutlery tray (SC units) The removable cutlery tray makes unloading flatware easy.
