Caring for your dinnerware
The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to
some items if they are washed in the dishwasher. Remember, if [n any doubt about any aspect
concerning items washed in the dishwasher, follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the
items, or wash the item by hand.
Cutlery & silverware
All cutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing caused by
some foods. The Rinse wash program [s useful for this. Silver [terns should not come into contact
with sta[nless steel, eg other cutlery. Mixing these [terns can cause staining. Remove silver cutlery
from the dishwasher and hand dry it [mmediately after the program has f[nished.
Aluminium
A[um[nium can be dulled by dishwasher detergent. The degree of change depends on the
quality of the product.
Other metals
iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items. Copper, pewter and brass tend to stain.
Woodware
Wooden items are generally sensitive to heat and water. Regular use in the dishwasher may
cause deter[oration over time. [f in doubt, wash by hand.
Glassware
Most everyday glassware is dishwasher safe. Crystal, very fine and antique glassware may etch
that is, become opaque. You may prefer to wash these items by hand.
Plastic
Some plastic may change shape or co[our with hot water. Check manufacturer's instructions
about washing plastic [terns. Washable plastic items should be weighed down so they do not
f[lp over and fill with water or fall through the base rack during the wash. Use the mufti-purpose
clip (supplied with some models only) to hold plastic items in place.
Decorated items
Most modern china patterns are dishwasher safe. Antique items, those with a pattern painted
over the glaze, gold r[ms or hand painted china may be more sensitive to machine washing, if in
doubt, wash by hand.
Gmued items
Certain adhesives are softened or dissolved [n machine washing, if in doubt, wash by hand.
