What you should not put into the dishwasher
Cutlery and tableware manufactured in whole or part from wood.They become faded and unsightly in ap-
pearance.Furthermore,the adhesives that are used are not suitable for the temperature that occur inside the
dishwasher.Delicate decorative glassware and vases,special antique or irreplaceable china. The decorative
patterns on such items will not be dishwasher-proof.
Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water, copper and pewter utensils are also not suitable. Decora-
tive patterns printed or painted onto the surface of crockery, glasses, etc.,aluminium and silver items tend
to become discoloured or faded if washed in the diswasher. Some types of glass can become opaque in
appearance after they have been washed many times in a dishwasher. Highly absorbent materials, such as
sponges and towels,should never be placed in the dishwasher.

In future, only purchase table or kitchenware that has been confirmed as being dishwasher-proof.
