Dishwashing tips
Table and kitchenware
Not all table and kitchenware are dishwasher safe.
䡲
Handcrafted objects and wooden or plastic parts that are sensitive to heat
or detergent suds should be cleaned by hand.
䡲
Decorative glass objects are not dishwasher safe – the decoration will
wear off over time.
䡲
Handcrafted pottery has a tendency to crack or chip.
䡲
Objects made of silver, copper and tin have a tendency to discolour, turn-
ing brown or black.
䡲
Stress and tension in thick cut crystal glasses and dishes can cause
cracking.
䡲
Depending on the type of glassware and the detergent being used, perma-
nent clouding may result. Check with your glassware supplier as to whether
your glassware is dishwasher safe.
䡲
Spots tend to form on aluminium. This can affect other items being washed
(spots on porcelain). Aluminium should therefore ideally be washed
separately.
General tips
䡲
When loading, ensure glasses do not touch (prevents damage to the glass-
es and water spots).
䡲

䡲
Load beverage and food containers such as cups, glasses, pots, etc. with
the opening facing downwards so that the water can drain off easily.

tergent. Select the
