Dishware Materials
Note: Before using your dishwasher for the first time, check the information in
this section. Some items are not dishwasher safe and should be hand washed;
others require special loading.
Recommended
Aluminum:
Colored anodized aluminum may fade over time. Minerals in
your water may cause the aluminum to darken or spot. This can usually be
removed with a soap-filled steel wool pad.
China, Crystal, Stoneware:
Some hand-painted utensils may discolor, fade
or spot. Hand wash these utensils. Position fragile glassware so that it will
not topple over or come in contact with other utensils during the wash cycle.
Glass:
Milk glass may discolor or become yellow.
Non-stick Coatings:
Apply a light coating of vegetable oil to non-stick sur-
faces after drying.
Plastics:
Make sure the plasticware is dishwasher safe.
Stainless Steel, Sterling Silver and Silver Plates:
Load these so they do
not come in contact with other metals.
