WHAT SHOULD NOT BE WASHED IN YOUR
DISHWASHER?
• All items to be placed in the dishwasher should be dishwasher safe.
• Plastics with “dishwasher safe” or equivalent labels can only be used in dishwashers.
Plastics may lose their shape or color. Check with the manufacturer for recommendations.
• Any dishes made of wood or made with wooden parts are not suitable for washing in
dishwashers. High temperatures can cause the wood to swell or crack.
• Silver items without a “dishwasher safe” label should not be washed in the dishwasher because
high temperatures and detergent can damage your silver. Check with the manufacturer for
recommendations.
• Dishwasher-safe silver items and stainless-steel items should not come into contact, as the silver
can become discolored.
• Porcelains and glassware with decorations and hand-painted utensils may lose their color and
patterns due to the high temperatures. Non-decorated items are dishwasher-safethe . Check
with the manufacturer for recommendations.
• Aluminum can turn dark in the dishwasher due to the heat, the detergent used or even just
certain minerals in your water.
• Do not wash sponges or dishcloths in the dishwasher.
• Do not wash any material like acrylic, copper, brass, pewter, iron, bronze, or tin.
• Pots without a non-stick coating are safe to be cleaned by your dishwasher but some non-stick
pots and pans can lose their coating and sticking ability.
• Glued dishes or cutlery are not suitable for machine washing since adhesives that join materials
such as plastic, wood, bone, steel, copper, tin, etc. may loosen.
WARNING: If in doubt, wash by hand or follow the instructions from the manufacturer of utensils,
dishes, glasses, or pots and pans. Do not wash items soiled with cigarette ash, candle wax, varnish,
paint, or chemicals since they can damage your dishwasher.
WARNING: Empty the lower rack first and then the upper rack. This will avoid water dripping
from the upper rack onto dishes in the lower rack.
WARNING: In general, it is not advisable to open the door while the dishwasher is in operation. If
the door is opened, a safety device stops the dishwasher. Care should be
taken when opening the door immediately following the cycle, as steam may escape.
