Loading the dishwasher Items not recommended for dish‐ washing - Wooden cutlery, cutting boards and dishware or items with wooden parts - Craft items, antiques, valuable vases, and decorative glassware - Plastic items which are not heat-re‐ sistant: the high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape. - Copper, brass, tin and aluminum items may discolor or become matt. - Colors painted over a glaze may fade after a number of washes. - Delicate glassware and glassware containing lead crystal: clouding may occur over time. Please note: Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may still be damp or spot‐ ted at the end of a program, where wa‐ ter has not run off smoothly. It may need to be rubbed dry with a soft cloth. Silver which has been in contact with foods containing sulphur can discolor. These include egg yolk, onions, mayon‐ naise, mustard, fish, and marinades. Glass care - Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing. If delicate glass‐ ware is washed in the dishwasher, ensure that only very low tempera‐ tures are used (see program chart), or a special glass-care program is used (depending on model). This will re‐ duce the risk of clouding. - Purchase glassware which is dish‐ washer-safe (e.g., Riedel glassware). - Use detergents with glass protective additives (e.g., Miele CareCollection tabs). - Visit "http://www.mieleglass‐ care.com/international/en/glasscare/ english" for more information on glass care.  Aluminum components (e.g., range hood grease filters) must not be cleaned with a commercial or in‐ dustrial cleaning agent. These may damage the material. Tip: When purchasing new dishware and cutlery, make sure they are dish‐ washer-safe. 21
