Items Not Suitable For Dishwashers - Miele G 691 Operating Instructions Manual

Items not suitable for dish-
washers:
– 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 dish-
washer.
– Craft items, antiques, valuable
vases and decorative glassware are
also not suitable for dishwashers.
– Plastic items which are not heat resis-
tant may lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium
items may discolour or become matt.
– Items with colours painted over a
glaze may fade after many washes.
– Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing. Do not wash glass-
ware containing lead crystal in a
dishwasher.
Loading the dishwasher
We recommend:
– When purchasing new crockery and
cutlery, make sure they are dish-
washer-proof.
– There are no standard guidelines for
washing glassware. When in doubt,
wash by hand.
– If delicate glassware is washed in
the dishwasher ensure that only very
low temperatures are used (see pro-
gramme chart). This will reduce the
risk of clouding.
Please note
Silverware previously cleaned with a sil-
ver polish may still be damp or spotted
at the end of a programme, where
water has not run off smoothly. It may
need rubbing dry with a soft cloth. Sil-
ver treated in a silver immersion dip is
usually dry at the end of a programme
but may discolour.
Aluminium components (e. g. a
grease filter) must not be cleaned
with caustic alkaline commercial or
industrial cleaning agents. These
may damage material, or in extreme
cases, cause severe chemical reac-
tion.
See section "Adding detergent" for
information on suitable detergents.
