Loading the dishwasher
Items not recommended for dish-
washing
– Wooden cutlery, cutting boards and
dishes or items with wooden parts
– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases,
and decorative glassware
– Plastic items which are not heat-re-
sistant: the high temperatures in the
dishwasher may cause them to melt
or lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminum
items may discolor or become matt.
– Colors painted over a glaze may fade
after a number of washes.
– Delicate glassware and glassware
containing lead crystal: clouding may
occur over time.
Please note:
Silverware previously cleaned with a
silver polish may still be damp or spot-
ted at the end of a program, where wa-
ter has not run off smoothly. It may
need to be rubbed dry with a soft cloth.
Silver which has been in contact with
foods containing sulphur can discolor.
These include egg yolk, onions, mayon-
naise, mustard, fish, and marinades.

Aluminum components (e.g.,
range hood grease filters) must not
be cleaned with a commercial or in-
dustrial cleaning agent.
These may damage the material.
Tip: When purchasing new dishes and
cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher-
safe.

Glass care
– Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing. When washing del-
icate glassware in the dishwasher,
ensure that only a special glass-care
program with very low temperatures
is selected (see Program guide). This
will reduce the risk of clouding.
– Purchase glassware which is dish-
washer-safe (e.g., Riedel glassware).
– Use detergents with glass protective
additives.
