Dishware Materials

NOTE: Before using your dishwasher for the first

items are not dishwasher safe and should be
hand-washed; others require special loading.
Contact the item's manufacturer if you are unsure
about the item's dishwasher suitability.

aluminum to darken or spot. This can usually be
removed by using a soap-filled steel wool pad.
China, Crystal, Stoneware: Some
hand-painted pieces may discolor, fade, or spot.
Hand-wash these pieces. Position fragile glass-

Non-Stick Coatings: Apply a light coating of
vegetable oil to non-stick surfaces after drying.

copper, tin, etc. may loosen.

Preparing and Loading
the Dishware

Dishware Preparation

Do not pre-wash items having loosely-attached
soiling.
Remove large food particles, bones, seeds,
toothpicks, and excessive grease.
Items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy
soils may require pre-treatment.

Loading the Dishwasher

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load
the dishwasher with objects such as paper
products, plastic bags, packing materials,
or anything other than normal dishware and
kitchenware. Do not load the dishwasher
with anything other than dishwasher-safe
dishware and kitchenware.
Check the Materials section of this manual if you
are unsure about an item's dishwasher suitability.
Load only dishwasher-safe items into the
dishwasher.
Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so that the
insides of bowls, pots, and pans are facing the
spray arms. Avoid nesting and contact points
between dishes.
Separate items of dissimilar metals.
