Improper Loading
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.
WARNING
• Cutlery with wooden or horn handles and cutlery with mother-of-pearl 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 manufactur-
ers. 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.
DANGER
• 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.
CAUTION
• If in doubt, wash by hand or follow the instruc-
tions 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.
