Loading the dishwasher
39
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 dish-
washer.
- Craft items, antiques, valuable vases
and decorative glassware: such items
are not suitable for dishwashers.
- Plastic items that are not heat resist-
ant: the high temperatures in the
dishwasher may cause them to melt
or lose shape.
- Copper, brass, tin and aluminium
items: these may discolour or be-
come dull.
- 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.
Silver
Silver that has been in contact with
foods containing sulphur can discolour.
These include egg yolk, onions, mayon-
naise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine
and marinades.
Silverware previously cleaned with a
silver polish may still be damp or spot-
ted at the end of a programme, where
water has not run off smoothly.
Tip: Rub the silver dry with a cloth.
 Damage due to caustic alkaline
detergents.
Aluminium parts (e.g. the grease fil-
ters of cooker hoods) can be dam-
aged by caustic alkaline detergents.
In extreme cases, there is a risk of an
explosive chemical reaction (such as
an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reac-
tion).
Aluminium components must not be
cleaned in the dishwasher with
caustic alkaline commercial or indus-
trial detergents.
Tip: When purchasing new crockery
and cutlery, make sure they are dish-
washer-proof if you want to wash them
in the dishwasher.
Glass care
- Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing in the dishwasher.
When washing delicate glassware in
the dishwasher, ensure that only a
special glass care programme with
very low temperatures is selected
(see “Programme overview”). This will
reduce the risk of clouding.
- Purchase glassware that is dish-
washer-safe (e.g. Riedel glassware).
- Use detergents with glass protective
additives.
