CARE GUIDE
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.
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.
Silverware and Cutlery
Cutlery 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
Aluminum can be dulled by dishwsher detergent 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
Generally wooden items are sensitive to heat and water. Regular use in the
Dishwasher may cause deterioration over time. If in doubt, wash 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.
