Items not suitable for washing in the
dishwasher:
- Wooden cutlery and crockery or
items with wooden parts. These may
discolour and fade. Furthermore, the
glue used in these items is not
dishwasher safe. Wooden handles
may come loose after being washed
in the dishwasher.
- Craft items, antiques, valuable vases,
and decorative glassware. Such
items are not suitable for
dishwashers.
- Plastic items that are not heat
resistant. The high temperatures in
the dishwasher may cause them to
melt or lose shape.
- Copper, brass, tin, and aluminium
items. These may discolour or
become dull.
- Colours painted over a glaze. These
may fade after a number of washes.
- Delicate glassware and glassware
containing lead crystal. Clouding may
occur over time.
Silverware
Silver can discolour when in contact
with foods containing sulphur. These
include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise,
mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine, and
marinades.
Silverware
previously cleaned with a
silver polish
may still be damp or
spotted at the end of a programme, as
water has not run off smoothly.
Useful tip:
Rub the silverware dry with
a cloth.
Damage due to caustic alkaline
detergents.
Aluminium parts (e.g. the grease
filters of rangehoods) can be
damaged by caustic alkaline
detergents. In extreme cases, there
is a risk of an explosive chemical
reaction (such as an explosive
oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Aluminium components must not be
cleaned in the dishwasher with
caustic alkaline commercial or
industrial detergents.
Useful tip:
When purchasing new
crockery and cutlery, make sure they
are dishwasher safe if you want to wash
them in the dishwasher.
Glass care
- Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing in the dishwasher.
When washing delicate glassware in
the dishwasher, select a special glass
care programme with a low
temperature (see “Programme chart”).
This will reduce the risk of clouding.
- Purchase glassware that is
dishwasher safe (e.g. Riedel
glassware).
- Use detergents with glass protective
additives.
