[Elecraft] K2 LCD question

Hello List,
 On the K2 LCD assembly step there is a diffuser element that mounts 
underneath the LCD itself... looking down at the Front Panel PCB are two 
markings ... on the left is D2 with a positive sign on the bottom hole, 
and on the right is D3 with a Positive sign on the top hole. On the back 
of the diffuser are markings A and K, anode and cathode ... which side 
of the diffuser goes to D2 / D3 ... in other words, I look at the 
diffuser as being a form of light emitting diode with the need for 
proper  insertion of  it in order for it to work properly ... I have 
reread the manual four times and at first it seems straight forward but 
I don't want to mount the diffuser in wrong if polarity is needed here, 
and the manual doesn't mention anything about proper  polarity ...??  
Can you help me out with this one?
73 to all ...
