Loading the dishwasher
Items not suitable for dish- washers:
–Cutlery with wooden handles.
–Wooden cutting boards.
–Glued items such as old knives with handles that are glued together around the shank of the blade.
–Hand made craft items, antique or decorative glassware.
–Copper, brass or tin.
–Plastic items that are not heat resis- tant.
Please note:
–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 let to dry, foods containing sulfur can discolor silver. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mus- tard, legumes, fish, fish brine and marinades.
–Color painted over the glaze of dishes may fade over time.
–Clouding or etching may occur on glasses after frequent washing.
Miele recommends:
–Wash delicate glassware using the “Economy” program or the “China & Crystal” program to reduce the risk of clouding.
–There are no standard guidelines for washing glassware but, when in doubt wash by hand.
–When purchasing new dishes and cutlery, make sure they are dish- washer safe.
–If crystal or delicate glasses will be washed frequently, connect the dish- washer to cold, rather than hot water.
