Wash items not suitable for dishwash-
ers:
- Wooden cutlery and dishes or items
with wooden parts. These may dis-
color and fade. Additionally, the glue
used in these items is not dishwasher
safe and wooden handles may come
loose after being washed in a dish-
washer.
- Craft items, antiques, valuable vases,
and decorative glasses. Such items
are not dishwasher-safe.
- Plastic items that are not heat resis-
tant. The high temperatures in the
dishwasher may cause them to melt
or lose shape.
- Copper, brass, tin, and aluminum
items. These may discolor or become
dull.
- Colors painted over a glaze. This type
of decoration may fade after a num-
ber of rinses.
- Delicate glasses and glassware con-
taining lead crystal. Clouding may oc-
cur over time.
Silver
Damage caused by using unsuit-
able cleaning agents.
If silverware is cleaned using an un-
suitable cleaning agent, it can be ir-
reparably damaged.
Silverware that has been in contact with
foods containing sulfur can discolor.
These include egg yolk, onions, mayon-
naise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine,
and marinades.
Silverware previously cleaned
withasilverpolish may still be damp or
spotted at the end of a program, where
water has not run off smoothly.
Tip: Rub the silver dry with a cloth.
Damage due to caustic alkaline
detergents.
Aluminum parts (e.g., the grease fil-
ters of ventilation hoods) can be
damaged by caustic alkaline deter-
gents. In extreme cases, there is a
risk of an explosive chemical reaction
(such as an explosive oxyhydrogen
gas reaction).
Aluminum components must not be
cleaned in the dishwasher with caus-
tic alkaline commercial or industrial
detergents.
Tip: When purchasing new dishware
and cutlery, make sure they are dish-
washer-safe if you want to wash them in
the dishwasher.
Glass care
- Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing in the dishwasher.
When washing delicate glassware in
the dishwasher, ensure that only a
special glass-care program with very
low temperatures is selected (see
“Program overview”). This will reduce
the risk of clouding.
- Purchase glassware that is dish-
washer-safe (e.g., Riedel glassware).
- Use detergents with glass protective
additives.
