Items not suitable for dishwashers
–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.
–Copper or tin items.
–Plastic items which are not heat resis- tant.
Please note:
–Silver or aluminum items may suffer some discoloration.
–Aluminum parts (eg. oven hood grease filters) should not be cleaned using commercial or industrial deter- gents. These high alkaline deter- gents may damage the machine, and in extreme instances, cause ex- plosive chemical reactions.
–Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may be damp or spotted at the end of a programme where water has adhered to the pol- ish. This can be rubbed off with a soft, dry cloth. Silver that has pre- viously been cleaned in an immer- sion dip is usually dry at the end of a programme, but may discolor (tarn- ish).
–Colors on dishware that have been painted over the glaze may fade over time.
–Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing.
–Carefully follow washing and dish- washer detergent dosing instructions in soft water areas. Water tempera- tures above 50° C in combination with soft water and detergent are ex- tremely aggressive and will lead to glassware etching.
Miele recommends:
Scraping, but not
Using the minimum amount of deter- gent possible to get the dishes clean.
Washing delicate glassware using the ECONOMY programme or the CHINA & CRYSTAL programme (if so equipped). This will reduce the risk of clouding.
Since there are no standard guide- lines for washing all types of glass- ware, when in doubt, wash by hand.
When purchasing new dishes and cutlery, make sure they are dish- washer safe.
