Please note
Silverware
previously cleaned with a
silver polish may still be damp or spot‐
ted at the end of a programme, where
water has not run off smoothly. It may
need to be rubbed dry with a soft cloth.
Silver which has been in contact with
foods containing sulphur can discolour.
These include egg yolk, onions, mayon‐
naise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine
and marinades.
Aluminium components (e.g.
c
ooker hood grease filters) must not
be cleaned with caustic alkaline
commercial or industrial cleaning
agents.
These may damage the material, or
in
extreme cases, there is a risk of a
severe explosive chemical reaction
(such as an explosive oxyhydrogen
gas reaction).
Tip: When pur
chasing new crockery
and cutlery, make sure they are dish‐
washer-proof.
Glass care
– Clouding may occur on glasses after
fr
equent washing. If delicate glass‐
ware is washed in the dishwasher en‐
sure that only very low temperatures
are used (see programme chart), or a
special glass-care programme is
used (depending on model). This will
reduce the risk of clouding.
– Purchase glassware which is dish‐
washer safe (e.g. Riedel glasswar
e).
– Use detergents with glass protective
additives (e.g. Miele CareCollection
tabs).
