EXCEPTIONS/SPECIAL INFORMATION
High water temperature and detergents may
affect finish of anodized aluminum. All aluminum
will darken when washed in the dishwasher. This
does not affect pan performance.
Do not wash throwaway aluminum pans in the
dishwasher. These might shift during washing and
transfer black marks to dishes and other items.
Wash bottles and cans by hand. Labels attached
with glue can loosen in your dishwasher, clog
spray arms or the pump, and will reduce washing
performance.
Seasoning will be removed and iron will rust.
Always check manufacturer’s recommendations
before washing. Antique, hand-painted, or over-
the-glaze patterns may fade. Gold leaf can
discolor or fade.

before washing. Some types of leaded crystal can
etch with repeated washings.
Gold-colored flatware will discolor.
Milk glass will yellow with repeated washings.
Handles of some knives are attached to the blade
with adhesives which may loosen if washed in the
dishwasher.
High water temperatures and detergent can
