5. WHAT SHOULD NOT
BE WASHED IN YOUR
DISHWASHER
Notice :
• Rust-sensitive steel parts like iron and
cast iron that can rust and stain other
utensils and damage the interior stainless
steel liner of the dishwasher and void
the warranty. Do not wash copper, brass,
pewter, bronze or tin.
• Cutlery with wooden or horn handles and
cutlery with mother-of-pearl or porcelain
handles will deteriorate over time if put in
the dishwasher.
• Plastics may lose their shape or color
with hot water, please follow the
instructions of plastic manufacturers.
Be sure that plastic items are marked
"dishwasher safe".
• Glued dishes or cutlery are not suitable
for machine washing since certain
adhesives may get soft or dissolve with
hot water.
• Aluminum may fade over time. Minerals
in water and detergent may cause the
aluminum to darken or spot.
• Sterling silver articles should not be
washed in the dishwasher because they
tend to discolor and become dull by
dishwasher detergent.
• Silverware and stainless steel items
should not be in contact with each other.
Mixing these items can cause staining.
Remove and hand dry these items
immediately when the program ends.
• Decorated glasses, porcelain, fine china
and china with gold rims are sensitive to
machine washing. They may lose their
patterns and colors over time.
• Crystal and very fine glassware may
become opaque (etch) losing their shine
over time. You may prefer to wash them
by hand.
• Do not wash sponges or dish cloths in
dishwasher.
• Do not wash art and craft articles in
dishwasher.
• Disposable plastics and disposable
aluminum cannot withstand high
temperatures; do not wash them in the
dishwasher.
CAUTION
• If in doubt, wash by hand or follow the
instructions from the manufacturer of
utensils, dishes, glasses or pots and
pans.
• Do not wash items soiled with
cigarette ash, candle wax, varnish,
paints or chemicals since they can
damage your dishwasher.
Notice :
We recommend when buying new
dishware, try to choose ones that are
suitable for machine washing (marked as
dishwasher safe).
