Fragile Dishes - Atag VA9711QT Operating Instructions Manual

Fragile dishes

Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for
several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand strong
heat, others can be damaged by dishwashing detergent.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items
feel rough) should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal / Glass
Position items so that they do not touch each other during
the wash. Use the lowest possible wash temperature and
the shortest possible programme. Select Short dry.
Antique and very fragile items should not be washed in
a dishwasher.
Glass washed in a dishwasher at high temperatures can
gradually develop a grey film that cannot be removed.
Wash fragile glasses at a low temperature and with a
small amount of detergent.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come into
contact, as the silver can become discoloured.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such
cases, the handles may loosen.
Wood
Wooden items should only be washed in a dishwasher if
marked dishwasher safe.
Aluminium
Aluminium can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher.
However, good quality aluminium pans can be washed
in a dishwasher, even if some of the shine will be lost.
Plastic items
Avoid washing plastic items that cannot withstand high
temperatures.
