Loading the dishwasher
28
Items not recommended for dish‐
washing
– Wooden cutlery, cutting boards and
dishware or items with wooden parts
– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases,
and decorative glassware
– Plastic items which are not heat-re‐
sistant: the high temperatures in the
dishwasher may cause them to melt
or lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminum
items may discolor or become matt.
– Colors painted over a glaze may fade
after a number of washes.
– Delicate glassware and glassware
containing lead crystal: clouding may
occur over time.
Please note:
Silverware
previously cleaned with a
silver polish
may still be damp or spot‐
ted at the end of a program, where wa‐
ter has not run off smoothly. It may
need to be rubbed dry with a soft cloth.
Silver which has been in contact with
foods containing sulphur can discolor.
These include egg yolk, onions, mayon‐
naise, mustard, fish, and marinades.
Aluminum components (e.g.,
range hood grease filters) must not
be cleaned with a commercial or in‐
dustrial cleaning agent.
These may damage the material.
Tip:
When purchasing new dishware
and cutlery, make sure they are dish‐
washer-safe.
Glass care
– Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing. If delicate glass‐
ware is washed in the dishwasher,
ensure that only very low tempera‐
tures are used (see program chart), or
a special glass-care program is used
(depending on model). This will re‐
duce the risk of clouding.
– Purchase glassware which is dish‐
washer-safe (e.g., Riedel glassware).
– Use detergents with glass protective
additives (e.g., Miele CareCollection
tabs).
