A number of household goods are not suit-
able for machine washing. There can be
many reasons for this. Certain materials
cannot withstand intense heat, others can
be damaged by the dishwasher detergent.

Fragile decoration

China with decoration on top of the glaze
(the article has a rough feel) should not be
machine washed.

Crystal/ glass

Place the articles so that they do not knock
together during the wash. Use the lowest
possible wash temperature and the shortest
possible program. Do not heat dry! Antique
and very fragile items should not be ma-
chine washed.

Glass which is machine washed at high
temperatures can in time develop a grey
film which cannot be removed. Wash fine
glass at the lowest temperature and with a
low dosage of dishwasher detergent.

Silver

Silver and stainless items should not come
into contact with each other as the silver
can discolour.

Cutlery with glued handles

Certain types of adhesive cannot withstand
machine washing. In such cases the handles
can come loose.

Wood

Wooden articles should only be machine
washed if they are labelled as dishwasher
proof.

Aluminium

Aluminium can be dulled by machine wash-
ing. However, good quality aluminium
saucepans can be machine washed, al-
though a reduction in lustre should be ex-
pected.

Plastic

Certain types of plastic cannot withstand
the high temperature generated in machine
dishwashing.

To protect plastic articles

Select a program with Economy
temperature and Economy drying.
