Items not suitable for
dishwashers:
–
Wooden cutlery and crockery or
items with wooden parts: these may
discolour and fade. The glue used in
these items is not dishwasher-proof
and wooden handles may come
loose after being washed in a
dishwasher.
–
Craft items, antiques, valuable vases
and decorative glassware are also
not suitable for dishwashers.
–
Plastic items which are not heat
resistant. The high temperatures in
the dishwasher may cause them to
melt or lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium
items may discolour or become matt.
– Colours painted over a glaze may
fade after a number of washes.
– Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing. Do not wash
glassware containing lead crystal in
a dishwasher.
We recommend:
–
When purchasing new crockery and
cutlery, make sure they are
dishwasher-proof.
–
There are no standard guidelines for
washing glassware. When in doubt,
wash glassware by hand.
–
If delicate glassware is washed in the
dishwasher ensure that only very low
temperatures are used (see
programme chart). This will reduce
the risk of clouding.
Please note
Silverware
previously cleaned with a
silver polish
may still be damp or
spotted at the end of a programme,
where water has not run off smoothly. It
may need rubbing dry with a soft cloth.
Silver treated in a silver immersion dip
is usually dry at the end of a
programme but may discolour.
Silver which has been in contact with
foods containing sulphur can discolour.
These include egg yolk, onions,
mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish
brine and marinades.
,
Aluminium components (e.g. a
grease filter) must not be cleaned
with caustic alkaline commercial or
industrial cleaning agents. These
may damage material, or in extreme
cases, cause severe chemical
reaction. See section "Adding
detergent" for information on suitable
detergents.
