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:

A.hUUiUUUl: 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 may fade due to high water temperatures and alkaline detergent solution in the dishwasher.

TIPS: Delicate, antique items should not be washed in the dishwasher. Load 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.

water temperature. Metai trim and colorful decoration on glass will fade in time when washed in the dishwasher.

TIPS: Delicate, antique items should not be washed in the dishwasher. Load carefully in top rack only. Be sure to load a few larger items in the bottom rack to reduce amount of force of water spray reaching glassware from lower spray arm. Use the shortest cycle.

Flatware: Salty and acidic foods may tarnish silver and stainless flatware if allowed to remain on the utensils. A film may form on sterling silver and silver plate items washed in a dishwasher. This film is caused by reaction of silver with chlorine in the detergent. Gold flatware is not dishwasher safe.

TIPS: Rinse flatware as soon as possible, especially if it is not to be washed right away. Dishwasher detergent may remove antique finishes. Wash by hand. Tarnish and film build-up can be removed with silver polish.
