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. 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. Long items such as soup ladles, mixing spoons and knives can be set across the front of the upper basket. ^ With the dishwasher door fully open fill compartment II with 2 tablespoon (30 ml) of powder detergent, or one detergent tablet. The cover will always open at the end of a wash program except in "Rinse & Hold". 2 tablespoon (30 ml) of detergent is enough for most normally soiled loads. For heavily soiled loads, or if food has dried on the dishes, a program containing a prewash cycle should be selected.

Less detergent is needed in homes with very soft water and when washing lightly soiled dishes. 31 Operation Running the dishwasher ^ Make sure the spray arms are not blocked. ^ Press the "On/Off" button (13).
