Fragile Dishes - Asko D5132 Use & Care Manual

Fragile dishes

A number of household goods are not suita­
ble for machine washing. There can be many
reasons for this. Certain materials cannot
withstand intense heat, others can be damaged
by the dishwasher detergent.
Fragile decoration
China with decoration on top of the glaze (the
article has a rough feel) should not be machine
washed.
Crystal/ glass
Place the articles so that they do not knock to­
gether during the wash. Use the lowest possible
wash temperature and the shortest possible pro­
gram. Do not heat dry! Antique and very fragile
items should not be machine washed.
Glass which is machine washed at high tem­
peratures can in time develop a grey film which
cannot be removed. Wash fine glass at the
lowest temperature and with a low dosage of
dishwasher detergent.
Silver
Silver and stainless items should not come into
contact with each other as the silver can disco­
lour.
Cutlery with glued handles
Certain types of adhesive cannot withstand
machine washing. In such cases the handles
can come loose.
Wood
Wooden articles should only be machine was­
hed if they are labelled as dishwasher proof.
Aluminium
Aluminium can be dulled by machine washing.
However, good quality aluminium saucepans
can be machine washed, although a reduction in
lustre should be expected.
Plastic
Certain types of plastic cannot withstand the
high temperature generated in machine dis­
hwashing.
To protect plastic articles
Select a program with Economy temperature
and Economy drying.
