[. . . ] ^ 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, fish 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. 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. Spoons should be placed in the opposite direction with the handles between the holders. Longer items such as soup ladles, cake slices, mixing spoons and long knives should be placed lengthwise in the indentation of the cutlery tray. Spoon heads should be placed in contact with at least one of the serrated retainers of the cutlery tray to ensure that water runs off freely. Spoons with thick handles may have to be placed as knives and forks with their heads in the holders. 23 Loading the dishwasher Upper basket Adjusting the upper basket On select models, the upper basket can be raised or lowered to accommodate tall items. ^ Slide out the upper basket. Load the upper basket with small, lightweight, or delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls and flat pans. ^ Pull up the levers at the sides of the upper basket and adjust the basket height. [. . . ] To clean the optic indicator reflector: ^ Open the door and remove the reflector from the plastic mounting. ^ Clean the reflector and the plastic mounting with a damp cloth. Cleaning the door and door seal ^ Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth to remove any food particles. ^ Food residue and spilled liquids should be wiped from the sides of the dishwasher door. These are outside of the wash cabinet and are not cleaned by water from the spray arms. , Do not use abrasive, glass or all purpose cleaners! [. . . ]
