dishwasher. Do not put dishes or cutlery that have been soiled by tobacco
ash, wax, lubrica
●
ting grease or paint in your dishwasher.
IMPORTANT!
Cutlery and silverware
All cutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing
caused by some foods. Silver items should not come into contact with stainless steel,
e.g. other cutlery.
●
Mixing these items can cause staining. Remove silver cutlery from
the dishwasher and hand dry immediately after the programme has finished.
Aluminium
Aluminium can be dulled by dishwasher detergent. The degree of change depends on
●
the quality of the item.
Other metals
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items. Copper, pewter and brass
tend to stain. Wash these items by hand.
Woodware
Wooden items are generally sensitive to heat and water. Regular use in the
dishwasher may cause deterioration over time. If 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 colour with hot water. Check the manufacturer’s
instructions about washing plastic items. Washable plastic items should be weighted
●
down so they do not flip over and fill with water or fall through the basket during the
wash.
Decorated items
Most modern china patterns are dishwasher safe. Antique items, those with a pattern
painted over the glaze, gold rims or hand-painted china may be more sensitive to
machine washing. If in doubt, wash by hand.
Glued items
Certain adhesives are softened or dissolved in machine washing. If in doubt, wash by
●
hand.
