minerals in the water. - If you have very hard water, it is recommended to use a
softener. - Ensure the flatware in the cylinders is loosely packed to allow
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:
