silver plate

allowing salty or acidic foods to 

remain on flatware can damage 

them.

Rinse flatware that is to stand several hours before 

washing.

stainless steel contacting silver.

Direct contact to stainless steel can cause permanent 

damage to silver. put silver and stainless steel in differ-

ent silverware basket compartments.

Do not put stainless steel and silver flatware in the same

compartment.
Do not use abrasives on stainless steel or silver.

too much detergent, especially in 

soft water.

Do not use bleach or scouring powder on these materi-

als.

To remove cloudy film, try a vinegar rinse:

wash and rinse load as usual.

• 

remove all metal items from dishwasher. Do not add 

• 

detergent.

pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set it on 

• 

bottom rack.

run dishes through an entire wash program. if the 

• 

vinegar rinse does not work, repeat process substitut-

ing ¼ cup of citric acid crystals (available at most drug 

stores) for the vinegar.

If vinegar or citric acid rinse does not remove film, the 

cloudiness is “etching.” this is permanent. to prevent 

etching, if you have soft water, try using only one tea-

spoon of recommended dishwasher detergent.
use a good quality dishwasher detergent and rinse-aid. 

Do not overload dishwasher. water should circulate 

freely to assure adequate rinsing and draining.
