Smeg ST8646U Instruction Manual page 23

MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.
Items which are not dishwasher-safe:
• Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high wash-
ing temperatures.
• Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher.
The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may dam-
age them.
• Lightweight objects: place lightweight objects in the upper rack where the
water pressure is lower.
• Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain.
• Aluminum dishes: items made from anodized aluminum may lose their
color.
• Silverware: silver items may stain.
• Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be washed in
the dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and crystal may become dull
and lose their clearness after many washings. Therefore, for these items we
recommend using the least aggressive program available (see "Description
of controls" manual).
• Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are gener-
ally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colors may
fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of the colors, it
is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month.
