Glassware:
–
There are no standard guidelines for
washing glassware but, when in
doubt wash by hand.
–
Wash delicate glassware with a low
temperature program and without the
extended drying feature to reduce
the risk of clouding. See the
"Program guide".
–
If crystal or delicate glasses will be
washed frequently, connect the
dishwasher to cold, rather than hot
water.
– Clouding or etching may occur on
glasses after frequent washing.
– When purchasing new dishes,
glasses and cutlery, make sure they
are dishwasher safe.
Silver and aluminum:
– Silver or aluminum items may tarnish.
– Silverware previously cleaned with a
silver polish may be damp or spotted
at the end of a program where water
has adhered to the polish. This can
be rubbed off with a soft, dry cloth.
Silver that has been cleaned in an
immersion dip is usually dry at the
end of a program, but may tarnish.
–
If left to dry, foods containing sulfur
can discolor silver. These include
egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise,
mustard, legumes, fish, fish brine
and marinades.
–
Silverware may tarnish or pit if
washed next to stainless steel.
Leave space between these metals.
