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
programme 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 programme has
finished.
Aluminium
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 colour
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.
Holiday 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®.
