Items not suitable for dish-
washers:
– Cutlery with wooden handles.
– Wooden cutting boards.
– Glued items such as old knives with
handles that are glued together
around the shank of the blade.
– Hand made craft items, antique or
decorative glassware.
– Copper, brass or tin.
– Plastic items that are not heat resis-
tant.
Please note:
– Silver or aluminum items may tarnish.
– Silverware previously cleaned with a
silver polish may be damp or spotted
at the end of a program where water
has adhered to the polish. This can
be rubbed off with a soft, dry cloth.
Silver that has been cleaned in an
immersion dip is usually dry at the
end of a program, but may tarnish.
– If let to dry, foods containing sulfur
can discolor silver. These include
egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mus-
tard, legumes, fish, fish brine and
marinades.
– Color painted over the glaze of
dishes may fade over time.
– Clouding or etching may occur on
glasses after frequent washing.
Miele recommends:
– Wash delicate glassware using the
“Economy” program or the “China &
Crystal” program to reduce the risk
of clouding.
– There are no standard guidelines for
washing glassware but, when in
doubt wash by hand.
– When purchasing new dishes and
cutlery, make sure they are dish-
washer safe.
– If crystal or delicate glasses will be
washed frequently, connect the dish-
washer to cold, rather than hot water.
