[. . . ] Wax, grease and paint will cause permanent discoloration or damage to the dishwasher. ^ Hollow items such as cups and glasses should be placed upside down in the upper basket. ^ Concave based items, such as mugs or bowls, should be placed at an angle so that water does not pool. ^ To ensure good water coverage tall, narrow, hollow pieces, such as a vase, should be placed in the center of the basket, rather than in the corners. ^ Place very small items in the cutlery tray or basket so they do not fall to the bottom of the wash cabinet. 21 Loading the dishwasher Items not recommended for dishwashing ­ Cutlery with wooden handles. ­ Glued items such as old knives with handles glued together around the shank of the blade. ­ Hand made craft items, antique, metal trimmed or decorative glassware. Glassware: ­ There are no standard guidelines for washing glassware but, when in doubt wash by hand. ­ 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 basket ^ For the best cleaning results, spoons and forks should be placed in the basket with handles down. Knives and other pointed objects can be loaded with their handles up to prevent injuries. ^ Place small spoons into the slots on either side of the cultery basket. 23 Loading the dishwasher Cutlery tray (SC units) The removable cutlery tray makes unloading flatware easy. Simply carry the cutlery tray to where the flatware is stored and put the entire basket away in one trip. For easier unloading cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc. Place knives with the cutting edge and forks with the prongs between the holders.
