DELICATE AND SENSITIVE DISHWARE
For a variety of reasons, some articles are unsu-
itable for machine washing. Some materials can-
not withstand high temperature, others can be
damaged by dishwasher detergents.
SENSITIVE DECORATION
China that has "on-glaze" decoration (feels a litt-
le rough) should not be machine washed.
GLASSWARE/CRYSTAL
Position the items so that they do not knock
against one another. Use the lowest dishwash-
ing temperature and the shortest possible pro-
gramme. Antique objects and very delicate items
should not be machine washed.
Glasses that are washed in a dishwasher at
high temperature can in time permanently loose
their lustre. Wash glasses with a small amount of
detergent.
SILVER
Silver and stainless steel items should not be
allowed to touch each other because the silver
could otherwise become stained.
CUTLERY WITH BONDED HANDLES
Some types of adhesive cannot withstand machi-
ne washing, ie, cutlery handles are likely to loosen.
WOODEN ITEMS
Wooden items should only be machine washed
if especially recommended.
ALUMINIUM
Aluminium can be dulled by machine washing.
However, good quality aluminium saucepans
can be machine washed, although you must
expect their polished finish to be affected.
PLASTIC MATERIAL
Some plastic materials cannot withstand the
high temperature used in a dishwasher.
To protect plastic items
Select a low-temperature programme, 55°C.
Place the objects in the upper basket away from
the heating element.
