5. WHAT SHOULD NOT
BE WASHED IN YOUR
DISHWASHER
Notice:
• Rust-sensitive steel parts like iron and cast
iron that can rust and stain other utensils and
damage the interior stainless steel liner of the
dishwasher and void the warranty. Do not
wash copper, brass, pewter, bronze or tin.
• Cutlery with wooden or horn handles and
cutlery with mother-of-pearl or porcelain
handles will deteriorate over time if put in the
dishwasher.
• Plastics may lose their shape or color with hot
water. Please follow the instructions of plastic
manufacturers. Be sure that plastic items are
marked “dishwasher safe”.
• Glued dishes or cutlery are not suitable for
machine washing since certain adhesives
may get soft or dissolve with hot water.
• Aluminum may fade over time. Minerals in
water and detergent may cause the aluminum
to darken or spot.
• Sterling silver articles should not be washed in
the dishwasher because they tend to discolor
and become dull by the action of dishwasher
detergent.
• Silverware and stainless steel items should
not be in contact with each other. Mixing
these items can cause staining. Remove and
hand dry these items immediately when the
program ends.
• Decorated glasses, porcelain, fine china and
china with gold rims are sensitive to machine
washing. They may lose their patterns and
colors over time.
• Crystal and very fine glassware may become
opaque (etch), losing their shine over time.
You may prefer to wash them by hand.
• Do not wash sponges or dish cloths in the
dishwasher.
• Do not wash arts and crafts articles in the
dishwasher.
• Disposable plastics and disposable aluminum
cannot withstand high temperatures; do not
wash them in the dishwasher.
CAUTION
• 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, paints or
chemicals since they can damage your
dishwasher.
Notice:
We recommend when buying new dishware, try
to choose ones that are suitable for machine
washing (marked as dishwasher safe).
CARING FOR YOUR TABLEWARE
The combination of high temperatures and
dishwasher detergent may cause damage to
some items if they are washed in the
dishwasher. Remember, if there is any doubt
about any aspect concerning items to be
washed in the dishwasher, follow the
instructions from the manufacturer of the items,
or wash the items by hand.
