Care and Handling
To ensure the longevity and quality of this stainless flatware,
please follow the recommended care and handling process:
Handling
- Use slotted cylinders in a rack suitable for sink or dishwasher
use to wash, transport, and dispense the flatware with minimum
handling. - If using a system where flatware is washed and stored in the
same cylinder, sort the flatware into the cylinders with the
utensil side down to prevent hand contamination after
cleaning. - If using a system where flatware is transferred from a cleaning
cylinder to a storage cylinder by inversion, sort the flatware in
the cleaning cylinder with the utensil side up, so that it will
eventually be stored utensil side down.
Washing
- After pre-soaking, immediately load the flatware loosely into
vertical cylinders. Do not wash the flatware in a flat
position. - Wash the flatware in hot water and use a good cleaning agent.
Ensure that the dishwasher temperature is above 130 degrees
Fahrenheit. Check the temperature twice daily. - Use a nonabrasive or noncorrosive cleaning agent to avoid
damaging the flatware.
Rinsing
- Rinse the clean flatware in water of at least 180 degrees
Fahrenheit. - Add a wetting agent to the rinse to prevent minerals in the
water from staining the flatware. - If you have very hard water, it is recommended to use a water
softener. - Ensure that the flatware in cylinders is loosely packed to
allow for air drying. Shake the racks to remove any water. - To prevent corrosion and film build-up, thoroughly rinse the
flatware and dry it immediately after rinsing.
Storing
- Always store the stainless flatware in a dry area.
- Store the flatware with tines, bowls, and blades facing down to
protect them. - Ensure that the flatware is clean and dry before storing.

periods to meet your needs.
