What Should Not be Washed in Your Dishwasher
• Rust-sensitive steel parts like iron and cast iron that can rust and
stain other utensils and damage the interior stainless steel liner of
the dishwasher and void the warranty. DO NOT wash copper, brass,
pewter, bronze, or tin.
• Cutlery with wooden or horn handles and cutlery with mother-of-
pearl or porcelain handles will deteriorate over time if put in the
dishwasher.
• Plastics may lose their shape or color with hot water; please follow
the instructions of plastic manufacturers. Be sure that plastic items
are marked “dishwasher safe.”
• Glued dishes or cutlery are not suitable for machine washing since
certain adhesives may get soft or dissolve with hot water.
• Aluminum may fade over time. Minerals in water and detergent may
cause the aluminum to darken or spot.
• Sterling silver articles should not be washed in the dishwasher
because they tend to discolor and become dull by dishwasher
detergent.
• Silverware and stainless steel items should not be in contact with
each other. Mixing these items can cause staining. Remove and
hand-dry these items immediately when the program ends.
• Decorated glasses, porcelain, fine china, and china with gold rims
are sensitive to machine washing. They may lose their patterns and
colors over time.
• Crystal and very fine glassware may become opaque (etch), losing
their shine over time. You may prefer to wash them by hand.
• DO NOT wash sponges or dish cloths in dishwasher.
• DO NOT wash art and craft articles in dishwasher.
• Disposable plastics and disposable aluminum cannot withstand high
temperatures; DO NOT wash them in the dishwasher.
