–Hand made craft items, antique, metal trimmed or decorative glass- ware.

–Lead crystal.

–Copper, brass, tin or pewter.

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

–Cast iron pots and pans.

Glassware:

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

–Wash delicate glassware with a low temperature program and without the extended drying feature to reduce the risk of clouding. See the "Pro- gram guide".

–If crystal or delicate glasses will be washed frequently, connect the dish- washer to cold, rather than hot water.

–Clouding or etching may occur on glasses after frequent washing.

–When purchasing new dishes, glasses and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher safe.

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, mus- tard, legumes, fish, fish brine and marinades.

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