gram guide.
–If crystal or delicate glasses will be
washed frequently, connect the dish
-
washer 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.
Silver and aluminum:
– Silver or aluminum items may tarnish.
– 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. This can
be rubbed off with a soft, dry cloth.
Silver that has been cleaned in an
immersion dip is usually dry at the
end of a program, but may tarnish.
–
If left to dry, foods containing sulfur
can discolor silver. These include
egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mus-
tard, legumes, fish, fish brine and
marinades.
–
Silverware may tarnish or pit if
washed next to stainless steel.
Leave space between these metals.

							Cutlery tray (SC units)
The removable cutlery tray makes un-
loading 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 hold-
ers. Spoons should be placed in the
opposite direction with the handles be-
tween the holders.
Longer items such as soup ladles, cake
slices, mixing spoons and long knives
should be placed lengthwise in the in-
dentation of the cutlery tray.Spoon heads should be placed in con
-
tact with at least one of the serrated re-
tainers 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.

							Upper basket
Adjusting the upper basket
On select models, the upper basket
can be raised or lowered to accommo
-
date tall items.
^Slide out the upper basket.
^Pull up the levers at the sides of the
upper basket and adjust the basket
height.
^
Release the levers and the basket will
lock in place.
The basket can also be angled to fit tall
items in both, the lower and upper bas-
kets. The angles should not be set to
opposite extremes. This will block the
middle spray arm. Take care when slid-
ing the basket in and out in this posi-
tion.Load the upper basket with small, light
-
weight, or delicate items such as cups,
saucers, glasses, dessert bowls and
flat pans.

ket determines the maximum height for
items placed in the lower basket so that
the middle spray arm is not blocked.Foldable spikes

to create more room for larger dishware
e.g. pots, pans and bowls.
^Press on the yellow levers,a, to fold
down the spikes,b.
Bottle holder
The bottle holder is designed for washing
slim items e.g. milk or baby bottles. For
