should be used to wash, transport, and dispense the flatware. This
minimizes handling. - If the 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 the 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
