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: such
items are 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: these may discolour or
become matt.
Colours painted over a glaze: these
may fade after a number of washes.
Delicate glassware and glassware
containing lead crystal: clouding may
occur over time.
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 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,
mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish
brine and marinades.
Aluminium components (e.g.
cooker 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 purchasing new crockery
and cutlery, make sure they are
dishwasher-proof.
Glass care
Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing. If delicate
glassware is washed in the
dishwasher ensure 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
dishwasher safe (e.g. Riedel
glassware).
Use detergents with glass protective
additives (e.g. Miele CareCollection
tabs).
