Items not recommended for dishwashing

Cutlery with wooden handles

Wooden cutting boards

Glued items such as old knives with handles glued together around the shank of the blade

Handmade craft items, antique, metal trimmed or decorative glassware

Plastic items that are not heat resistant

Copper, brass, tin or aluminum

Dishes with color painted over the glaze. These dishes may fade over time

Fine glassware and crystal items should only be washed using the "China & Crystal" program*.

Otherwise clouding or etching may occur after frequent washing.

Cast iron pots and pans

* depending on model

If unsure whether your china and crystal are dishwasher safe, please check with the manufacturer. The China & Crystal program, although extremely gentle and thorough can cause the china and crystal to "wear" if they are not dishwasher safe.

Glassware:

There are no standard guidelines for washing glassware, when in doubt wash by hand.

When purchasing new dishes, glasses and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher safe. Only wash items marked "dishwasher safe" in the dishwasher.

If fine glassware is washed in the dishwasher select the "China & Crystal" program*. This will reduce the risk of clouding.

Silver and aluminum:

Silver or aluminum items may tarnish.

Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may be damp or spotted at the end of a program where water has adhered to the polish. This can be rubbed off with a soft, dry cloth. Silver that has been cleaned in an immersion dip is usually dry at the end of a program, but may tarnish.

If left to dry, foods containing sulfur can discolor silver. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, fish and marinades.

Silverware may tarnish or pit if washed next to stainless steel. Leave space between these metals.

Clean aluminum items, e.g. grease filters, with domestic dishwasher detergent only.
