Black or gray marks Aluminum items on dishes

Aluminum items should be loaded so that they will not rub against dishes during washing. Throwaway aluminum items should not be washed in the dishwasher because they may break down and cause marking. Aluminum

markings can be removed by using a mild abrasive cleanser.

Chipping of dishes Improper loading

Load dishes and glasses so that they are stable and do not strike together from washing action. Moving rack in and out slowly will also minimize chipping.
