User instructions
Items which are not dishwasher-safe:
•
Wooden dishes, pots or pans:
these may be damaged by the
high washing temperatures.
•
Handcrafted items:
these are rarely suitable for washing in a
dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the
detergents used may damage them.
•
Plastic dishes:
heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the
upper basket.
•
Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass:
these tend to
stain.
•
Aluminium dishes:
items made from anodised aluminium may
lose their colour.
•
Silverware:
silver items may stain.
•
Glass and crystal:
in general, glass and crystal objects can be
washed in the dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and
crystal may become dull and lose their clearness after many
washings. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the
least aggressive program available.
•
Decorated items:
the decorated objects available on the market
are generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher,
although the colours may fade after a great many washes. If in
doubt as to the fastness of the colours, it is advisable to wash just a
few items at a time for approximately one month.
