Items not suitable
for dishwashers:
– Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts: these
may discolour and fade. The glue used in these items is not
dishwasher-proof and wooden handles may come loose after being
washed in a dishwasher.
– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases and decorative glassware:
such items are not suitable for dishwashers.
– Plastic items which 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 matt.
– 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.
We recommend
– When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, make sure they are
dishwasher-proof.
– Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing. If delicate
glassware is washed in the dishwasher ensure that only a special
glass-care programme with very low temperatures (see programme
chart) is selected and that suitable cleaning agent is used. This will
reduce the risk of clouding.
Please note:
Silver and aluminium which has been in contact with foods
containing sulphur can discolour.
Aluminium components (e.g. grease filters) must not be cleaned
with caustic alkaline commercial or industrial cleaning agents.
These may damage the material, or in extreme cases, there is a risk
of a severe explosive chemical reaction (such as an explosive
oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
