BE WASHED IN YOUR
DISHWASHER

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,

Cutlery with wooden or horn handles and
cutlery with mother-of-pearl or porcelain

Be sure that plastic items are marked
"dishwasher safe".

adhesives may get soft or dissolve with
hot water.

in water and detergent may cause the
aluminum to darken or spot.
