Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons.
Some materials cannot withstand high temperatures, others can be
damaged by dishwasher detergent.
Use caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration,
crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminum, wood, and plastic.
Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough)
should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
Wash fragile items made of crystal/glass, such as crystal glass from
Orrefors, using the gentle dishwashing program Crystal glass.
Remember to use a small amount of detergent and to place items so
that they do not touch each other during the wash.
Use rinse aid to improve wash and dry times. Also use rinse aid to
achieve clear and spotless results.
Hand-painted glassware, as well as antique and very fragile items,
should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as the
silver can become discolored.
Aluminum
Aluminum can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However, good
quality aluminum pans can be washed in a dishwasher, even if some
of the shine will be lost.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the handles
may loosen.
Points to consider
• All dirty surfaces should face in and down!
• Dishes should not be placed in or on each other.
• Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water
will run off. This is also important for plastic items.
• Place the upper basket in its highest position when dishwashing
very large plates.
• Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket;
place them in the top cutlery tray.
NOTE!
Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.

lower basket with a cutlery basket.
