COMMENTS AND/OR SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Items joined by adhesives, whether plastic, wood, bone, steel, copper or
tin, etc. may be loosened.
Colored anodized aluminum may fade over time. Minerals in the water may
cause spotting or darkening of aluminum. This can usually be removed by
scouring with a soap filled steel wool pad.
Handles may separate.
It is highly recommended however that "on-glaze" decorated china,
handpainted and gold or platinum trimmed, or antique china or stoneware
be hand washed. If there is any doubt, please check with the manufacturer
of your set or test by washing one piece with each load for a month and
comparing this piece with the rest of the set to determine if there has been
any fading or discoloration.
Decorated crystal, those handpainted, "on-glaze", or metal trimmed, may
discolor, fade, or spot. It is recommended that these be hand washed. Also,
fragile glassware is highly breakable, be sure to set the pieces so that they
do not topple during washing and so that they do not knock against other
pieces.
Milk glass may yellow.
After drying the non-stick coating should be covered with a light coating of
vegetable oil.
Iron will rust. Wash by hand and dry immediately.
Pewter will tarnish. Wash by hand and dry immediately.
Only wash "dishwasher safe" plastic items.
Do not let stainless steel items contact copper or sterling silver or
silverplate items.
Do not allow to come in contact with stainless steel or copper items.
Tin will rust. Wash by hand and dry immediately.
Wooden bowls, wooden utensils and wood handled utensils can warp, crack
or lose their finish.
The Bosch dishwasher is only intended for use in cleaning standard
household dishware items.
