Items not suitable
for dishwashers
- Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts may
discolour or fade. The glue used in these items is not dishwasher-
proof. Wooden parts may come loose after being washed in a
dishwasher.
- Craft items, antiques, valuable vases and decorative glassware are
not dishwasher-safe.
- Plastic items which are not heat resistant may 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.
- Delicate glasses and glassware containing crystal may become
cloudy over time.
We recommend
- When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, make sure they are
dishwasher-safe if you want to wash them in the dishwasher.
- Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing in the
dishwasher. When washing delicate glasses in the dishwasher,
ensure that only a special glass-care programme with very low
temperatures (see “Programme chart”) is selected and that a
suitable cleaning agent is used. This will reduce the risk of
clouding.
Please note:
Silver and aluminium which has been in contact with foods
containing sulphur can discolour.
Risk due to chemical reaction
Aluminium components (e.g. grease filters) must not be cleaned in
the dishwasher with caustic alkaline commercial or industrial
cleaning agents.
These may damage the material. In extreme cases, they can cause
a severe chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas
reaction).
Do not clean pretreated aluminium components in the dishwasher.
