Fragile dishes
A number of household goods are not suit-
able for machine washing. This can be due to
a variety of reasons. Certain materials cannot
withstand intense heat; others can be damaged
by the dishwasher detergent.
Fragile decoration
China with decoration on top of the glaze (the
goods have a rough feel) should not be machine
washed.
Crystal/ glass
Place the goods so that they do not knock to-
gether during the wash. Use the lowest possible
wash temperature and the shortest possible pro-
gram. Do not heat dry! Antique and very fragile
items should not be machine washed.
Glass which is machine washed at high tem-
peratures can in time develop a grey lm which
cannot be removed. Wash ne glass at the low-
est temperature and with a low dosage of dish-
washer detergent.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come
into contact with each other as the silver can
discolor.
Cutlery with glued handles
Certain types of adhesive cannot withstand ma-
chine washing. In such cases the handles can
come loose.
Wood
Wooden items should only be machine washed
if they are labeled as dishwasher safe.
Aluminum
Aluminum can be dulled by machine washing.
However, good quality aluminum saucepans
can be machine washed, although a reduction in
luster should be expected.
Plastic
Certain types of plastic cannot withstand the
high temperature generated in machine dish-
washing.
Protect plastic goods
Select a program with a low temperature.
