CHINA
China is normally safe in
yourautomatic dish-
washer.However, antiq,ue, metal trimmed,
hand painted china or over=the-gla2epatterns
are vulnerable to fading with high water tem-
~>erature and detergent solutions and should
not be washed in a dishwasher.
If there is any question, check with the manuf-
acturer of thechinaware,or test wash one piece
daily for at least one monthfor comparison with
the rest of the set.
CRYSTAL
Load securely to prevent movement. On models
equipped with a China&Crystal cycle, the pow-
erful water action is reduced with aeration to
help prevent items from being knocked into
each other.
PLASTICS
Ylost manufacturers will tell you if their plas-
tic ware is safe in the dishwasher; if they do not,
}-OU may wish to write and ask fcr their recom-
mendations. Test one piece in the dishwasher
before washing the entire set, Place inthe upper
rack and eliminate the heated dry part of the
cycle to reduce the risk of warping.
Teflon-coated items may be washed in the dish-
~vasher.After washing, wipe the Teflon area
}vith vegetable
oil to retain its no-stick
i)ropcrties.
