Special tips on dishwasher use

Remember, use your dishwasher only for the job it was designed to do.

Some items are not dishwasher safe or may require special care.

Read these special tips for the following items:

f%hllUilNUU: Aluminum loses its bright, shiny appearance and darkens in color due to minerals in the water and the alkalinity of the dishwasher detergent. Colored aluminum may fade.

TIPS: If washed in the dishwasher avoid placing directly in front of detergent dispenser where it could be sprinkled with undissolved detergent, causing spotting, pitting, and discoloration. Follow utensil manufacturers’ cleaning instructions.

China: Hand-painted, metal-trimmed, and antique china fade due to high water temperatures

and alkaline detergent solution in the dishwasher. NOTE: Delicate, antique items should not be washed in the dishwasher.

TIPS: Load china carefully. Do not allow pieces to touch each other. Test one piece by washing it daily in the dishwasher for several weeks. Then compare it with the rest of the set to see if colors have changed.

Dishwasher care & cleaning:

Exterior - Regular use of a soft damp cloth or sponge

and a mild detergent is all that is necessary, in most cases, to keep the outside of your dishwasher nice looking and clean. Interior - Hard water minerals may cause a

white film to build-up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area. Wear rubber gloves when cleaning

the dishwasher interior. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because

it may cause foaming or sudsing.
