MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.
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 dish-
washer. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents
used may damage them.
•
Lightweight objects:
place lightweight objects in the upper rack
where the water pressure is lower.
•
Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass:
these tend to stain.
•
Aluminum dishes:
items made from anodized aluminum may lose
their color.
•
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 be-
come dull and lose their clearness after many washings. Therefore, for
these items we recommend using the least aggressive program avail-
able (see “Description of controls” manual).
•
Decorated items:
the decorated objects available on the market are
generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the
colors may fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the fast-
ness of the colors, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for
approximately one month.
