Proper and Improper Loading NOTICE What Should Not be Washed in Your Dishwasher • Rust-sensitive steel parts like iron and cast iron that can rust and stain other utensils and damage the interior stainless steel liner of the dishwasher and void the warranty. DO NOT wash copper, brass, pewter, bronze, or tin. • Cutlery with wooden or horn handles and cutlery with mother-ofpearl or porcelain handles will deteriorate over time if put in the dishwasher. • Plastics may lose their shape or color with hot water; please follow the instructions of plastic manufacturers. Be sure that plastic items are marked "dishwasher safe." • Glued dishes or cutlery are not suitable for machine washing since certain adhesives may get soft or dissolve with hot water. • Aluminum may fade over time. Minerals in water and detergent may cause the aluminum to darken or spot. • Sterling silver articles should not be washed in the dishwasher because they tend to discolor and become dull by dishwasher detergent. • Silverware and stainless steel items should not be in contact with each other. Mixing these items can cause staining. Remove and hand-dry these items immediately when the program ends. • Decorated glasses, porcelain, fine china, and china with gold rims are sensitive to machine washing. They may lose their patterns and colors over time. • Crystal and very fine glassware may become opaque (etch), losing their shine over time. You may prefer to wash them by hand. • DO NOT wash sponges or dish cloths in dishwasher. • DO NOT wash art and craft articles in dishwasher. • Disposable plastics and disposable aluminum cannot withstand high temperatures; DO NOT wash them in the dishwasher. Proper and Improper Loading CAUTION • If in doubt, wash by hand or follow the instructions from the manufacturer of utensils, dishes, glasses, or pots and pans. • Do not wash items soiled with cigarette ash, candle wax, varnish, paints, or chemicals since they can damage your dishwasher. NOTICE We recommend when buying new dishware, try to choose ones that are suitable for machine washing (marked as dishwasher safe). Caring for your Tableware The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some items if they are washed in the dishwasher. Remember, if there is any doubt about any aspect concerning items to be washed in the dishwasher, follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the items, or wash the items by hand.
