CARING FOR YOUR DINNERWARE
The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause
damage to some items if they are washed in the DishDrawer®. Remember, if in any
doubt about any aspect concerning items washed in the DishDrawer®, follow the
instructions from the manufacturer of the items, or wash the item by hand.
Cutlery & Silverware
All cutlery and silverware should be
rinsed immediately after use to prevent
tarnishing caused by some foods. The
Rinse wash program is useful for this.
Silver items should not come into
contact with stainless steel, for example
other cutlery. Mixing these items can
cause staining. Remove silver cutlery
from the DishDrawer® and hand dry
it immediately after the program has
finished.
Aluminum
Aluminium can be dulled by dishwasher
detergent. The degree of change
depends on the quality of the product.
Other Metals
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and
stain other items. Copper, pewter and
brass tend to stain.
Woodware
Wooden items are generally sensitive
to heat and water. Regular use in the
dishwasher may cause deterioration
over time. If in doubt, wash by hand.
Glassware
Most everyday glassware is dishwasher
safe. Crystal, very fine and antique
glassware may etch i.e. become opaque.
You may prefer to wash these items by
hand.
Plastic
Some plastic may change shape or color
with hot water. Check manufacturer’s
instructions about washing plastic
items. Washable plastic items should be
weighed down so they do not flip over
and fill with water or fall through the
basket during the wash.
Decorated Items
Most modern china patterns are
Dishwasher safe. Antique items, those
with a pattern painted over the glaze,
gold rims or hand painted china may be
more sensitive to machine washing. If in
doubt wash these items by hand.
Glued Items
Certain adhesives are softened or
dissolved in machine washing. If in
doubt, wash glued items by hand.
VACATION TIME
If the DishDrawer® is not going to be used for some time, we recommend you
ensure the baskets are empty. Leave the inside of the DishDrawer® clean. Leave the
drawers ajar to allow air to circulate. Turn off both the power and water supply to the
DishDrawer®.
