USCA 12 Caring for your dinnerware The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some items if they are washed in the DishDrawer®. Remember, if in any doubt about any aspect concerning items washed in the DishDrawer®, follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the items, or wash the item by hand. Cutlery & silverware All cutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing caused by some foods. The Rinse wash program is useful for this. Silver items should not come into contact with stainless steel, eg other cutlery. Mixing these items can cause staining. Remove silver cutlery from the DishDrawer® and hand dry it immediately after the program has finished. Aluminum Aluminum can be dulled by dishwasher detergent. The degree of change depends on the quality of the product. Other metals Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items. Copper, pewter and brass tend to stain. Woodware Wooden items are generally sensitive to heat and water. Regular use in the dishwasher may cause deterioration over time. If in doubt, wash by hand. Glassware Most everyday glassware is dishwasher safe. Crystal, very fine and antique glassware may etch that is, become opaque. You may prefer to wash these items by hand. Plastic Some plastic may change shape or color with hot water. Check manufacturer's instructions about washing plastic items. Washable plastic items should be weighed down so they do not flip over and fill with water or fall through the base rack during the wash. Decorated items Most modern china patterns are dishwasher safe. Antique items, those with a pattern painted over the glaze, gold rims or hand painted china may be more sensitive to machine washing. If in doubt, wash by hand. Glued items Certain adhesives are softened or dissolved in machine washing. If in doubt, wash by hand. Vacation time If the DishDrawer® is not going to be used for some time, we recommend you leave the DishDrawer® clean and empty. Leave the drawers ajar to allow air to circulate. Turn off both the power and water supply to the DishDrawer®.
