What you should not put into the
dishwasher
Cutlery and tableware manufactured in whole or part from 
wood. They become faded and unsightly in appearance. 
Furthermore the adhesives that are used are not suitable for 
the temperature that occurs inside the dishwasher.
Delicate decorative glassware and vases, special antiques or 
irreplaceable china. The decorative patterns on such items 
will not be dishwasher-proof.
Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water, copper and 
pewter utensils are also not suitable. Decorative patterns 
printed or painted onto the surface of crockery, glasses, etc., 
aluminium and silver items tend to become discoloured or 
faded if washed in the dishwasher.
Some types of glass can become opaque in appearance after 
they have been washed many times in a dishwasher. Highly 
absorbent materials, such as sponges and towels should 
never be placed in the dishwasher.
IMPORTANT: Dishes or cutlery that have been soiled by 
tobacco ash, wax, grease or paint, should not be put in the 
dishwasher.
