unscrewing the retaining nut at the top.

be clogging them, or any residues that may be on them.
Clean them with carefully with water to keep the
dishwasher sanitary and efficient.
When refitting the spray arms in place, be sure the
retaining nut at the top is in the correct position and
properly tightened.

ITEMS THAT SHOULD NOT BE WASHED IN THE DISHWASHER
•
All items to be placed in the dishwasher should be dishwasher safe.
•
Plastics with “dishwasher safe” or equivalent label can only be used in dishwashers. Some plastics may
lose their shape or color. Check with manufacturer for recommendations.
•
Any dishes made out of wood or made out with wooden parts are not suitable for washing in
dishwashers. High temperatures can cause the wood swell or crack.
•
Silver items without dishwasher safe label should not be washed in the dishwasher. High temperatures
and detergent can damage your silver. Check with manufacturer for recommendations.
•
Dishwasher safe silver items and stainless-steel items should not come into contact as the silver can
become discolored.
•
Porcelains and glassware with decorations and hand-painted utensils may lose their color and patterns
due to the high temperatures. Check with manufacturer for recommendations.
•
Aluminum can turn dark in the dishwasher due to the heat, the detergent used or certain minerals in
your water.
•
Do not wash sponges or dish cloths in dishwasher.
•
Do not wash materials such as acrylic, copper, brass, pewter, iron, bronze or tin.
•
Pots without a non-stick coating are safe to be cleaned in the dishwasher but some non-stick pots and
pans can lose their coating.
Glued dishes or cutlery are not suitable for machine washing since the adhesives that join materials such
as plastic, wood, bone, steel, copper, tin, etc. may loosen.
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.

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
