5. 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

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

items should not be in contact with
each other. Mixing these items can

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
