User instructions

Items which are not dishwasher-safe:

•Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high washing temperatures.

•Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage them.

•Plastic dishes: these are not heat resistant and may lose their shape. Heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the upper basket.

•Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain.

•Aluminium dishes: items made from anodised aluminium may lose their colour.

•Silverware: silver items may stain.

•Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be washed in the dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and crystal may become dull and lose their clearness after many washings. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least aggressive program available.

•Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colours may fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of the colours, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month.
