CHIPPING OF DISHES OR GLASSWARE

POSSIBLE CAUSE:
♦
Chipping usually occurs during normal
use and handling and simply may not
be noticed until dishes are removed
from the dishwasher. When the dishes
are loaded properly according to
manufacturer's instructions, there is
nothing in the dishwasher that will
chip dishes. The dishes should only
come in contact with the cushioned
racks.
SOLUTION:
Follow manufacturer's
loading the dishwasher. Do not place more
than one item between each set of tines.
Plates and saucers should lean back against
the tines rather than tilting forward. When
placing crystal in the dishwasher, leave
space between each item to prevent them
from touching. Washing extremely light
weight and fragile crystal and china in the
dishwasher is not recommended.
In the event of frequent breakage of dishes
in an older dishwasher, check the spray arms
for cracks or splits that could interfere with
their turning.
