NOTE: Before you use your dishwasher for the first time, check the information in this section. Some items you may
want to clean are not dishwasher safe and should be hand-washed; others require special loading. Contact the item's
manufacturer if you are unsure about the item's dishwasher suitability.
Safe
Aluminum: Colored anodized aluminum may fade over
time. Minerals in your water may cause the aluminum to
darken or spot. This can usually be removed by using a
soap-filled steel wool pad.
China, Crystal, Stoneware: Some hand-painted pieces
may discolor, fade, or spot. Hand-wash these pieces.
Position fragile glassware so that it will not topple over or
contact other pieces during the wash cycle.
Glass: Milk glass may yellow.
Non-Stick Coatings: Apply a light coating of vegetable oil
to non-stick surfaces after drying.
Plastics: Ensure the piece is dishwasher safe.
Stainless Steel, Sterling Silver, and Silver Plate: To
prevent possible corrosion, place items made of different
metals so that they do not contact each other.
Not Recommended
Acrylic: Crazing (small cracks throughout the acrylic) may
occur.
Adhesive-Joined Pieces: Adhesives that join materials
such as plastic, wood, bone, steel copper, tin, etc. may
loosen.
Bone-Handled Utensils: Handles may separate.
Iron: Iron will rust. Hand-wash and dry immediately.
Non-Dishware Items: Your dishwasher is intended for
use in cleaning ONLY standard household dishware and
kitchenware.
Pewter, Brass, Bronze: Pewter will tarnish. Hand-wash
and dry immediately.
Tin: Tin will rust. Hand-wash and dry immediately.
Wood: Wooden bowls, wooden utensils, and wood-han-
dled utensils can crack, warp, and lose their finish.
