Not suitable for the
dishwasher
What you should not put into
the dishwasher:
Cutlery and tableware manufactured in
whole or part from wood. They become
faded and unsightly in appearance.
Furthermore, the adhesives that are used
are not suitable for the temperatures that
occur inside the dishwasher. Delicate
decorative glassware and vases, special
antique or irreplaceable china. The
decorative patterns on such items will not
be dishwasher-proof.
Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot
water, copper and pewter utensils are also
not suitable. Decorative patterns printed or
painted onto the surface of crockery,
glasses, etc., aluminium and silver items
tend to become discoloured or faded if
washed in the dishwasher. Some types of
glass can become opaque in appearance
after they have been washed many times
in a dishwasher. Highly absorbent
materials, such as sponges and towels,
should never be placed in the dishwater.
Our recommendation:
In future, only purchase table or
kitchenware that has been confirmed as
being dishwasher-proof.
Important
Dishes or cutlery that have
been soiled by tobacco ash,
wax, lubricating grease or
paint, should not be put in the
dishwasher.
Damage to glassware and other
dishes
Possible causes:
type of glass or manufacturing process
chemical composition of detergent
water temperature and duration of
dishwasher programme.
Suggested remedy:
Use glassware or porcelain dishes that
have been marked ’dishwasher–proof’
by the manufacturer.
Use a mild detergent that is described
as ’kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek
further information from detergent
manufacturers.
Select a programme with as low a
temperature and as short a duration as
possible.
To prevent damage, take glass and
cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon
as possible after the programme has
ended.
