Dishware materials

NOTE: Before using your dishwasher for the first time, check the information in this section. Some items are not dishwasher
safe and should be hand-washed; others require special loading. Contact the item's manufacturer if you are unsure about the
item's dishwasher suitability.
Recommended
Aluminum: Colored anodized aluminum may fade over time. Minerals in your water may cause the aluminum to darken
or spot. This can usually be removed by using a soap-filled steel wool pad.
China, Crystal, Stoneware: Some hand-painted pieces may discolor, fade, or spot. Hand-wash these pieces. Position
fragile glassware so that it will not topple over or contact other pieces during the wash cycle.
Glass: Milk glasses may yellow.
Non-Stick Coatings: Apply a light coating of vegetable oil to non-stick surfaces after drying.
Plastics: Make sure the piece is dishwasher safe.
Stainless Steel, Sterling Silver, and Silver Plate: Place these pieces so that they do not contact dissimilar metals.

Loading the dishwasher

Do not pre-wash items having loosely-attached soiling. Remove large food particles, bones, seeds, toothpicks, and ex-
cessive grease. Items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils may require pre-treatment.
Load only dishwasher-safe items into the dishwasher. Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so the insides of bowls, pots,
and pans are facing downward. Avoid nesting and contact points between dishes. Separate items of dissimilar metals.
