Items not suitable
for dishwashers:
– Wooden cutlery and cookware or items with wooden parts: these
may discolor 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 aluminum items: these may discolor or
become matt.
– Colors 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 cookware 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 program with very low temperatures (see program chart)
is selected and that suitable detergent is used. This will reduce the
risk of clouding.
Please note:
Silver and aluminum which has been in contact with foods
containing sulfur can discolor.
Aluminum 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).
