Loading the dishwasher
Items not suitable for dishwashers:
– Wooden cutlery and crockery or
items with wooden parts: these may
discolour and fade. The glue used in
these items is not dishwasher-proof
and wooden handles may come
loose after being washed in a
dishwasher.
– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases
and decorative glassware: such items
are not suitable for dishwashers.
– Plastic items which are not heat
resistant: the high temperatures in
the dishwasher may cause them to
melt or lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium
items: these may discolour or
become matt.
– Colours painted over a glaze: these
may fade after a number of washes.
– Delicate glassware and glassware
containing lead crystal: clouding may
occur over time.

We recommend
– When purchasing new crockery and
cutlery, make sure they are
dishwasher-proof.
– Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing. If delicate
glassware is washed in the
dishwasher ensure that only a special
glass-care programme with very low
temperatures (see programme chart)
is selected and that suitable cleaning
agent is used. This will reduce the
risk of clouding.
Please note:
Silver and aluminium which has been
in contact with foods containing
sulphur can discolour.

Aluminium components (e.g.
grease filters) must not be cleaned
with caustic alkaline commercial or
industrial cleaning agents.
These may damage the material, or
in extreme cases, there is a risk of a
severe explosive chemical reaction
(such as an explosive oxyhydrogen
gas reaction).
