Kalamazoo Kalamazoo Operating Instructions Manual - Fragile Dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for
several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand high
temperatures, others can be damaged by dishwasher
detergent.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items
feel rough) should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal / Glass
Position items so that they do not touch each other
during the wash. Use the lowest possible wash
temperature and the shortest possible program. Select
Short dry. Antique and very fragile items should not be
washed in a dishwasher.
Glass washed in a dishwasher at high temperatures
can gradually develop a gray film that cannot be
removed. Wash fragile glasses at a low temperature
and with a small amount of detergent.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come into
contact, as the silver can become discolored.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such
cases, the handles may loosen.
Wood
Wooden items should only be washed in a dishwasher
if marked dishwasher safe.
Aluminum
Aluminum can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher.
However, good quality aluminum pans can be washed
in a dishwasher, even if some of the shine will be lost.
Plastic items
Avoid washing plastic items that cannot withstand high
temperatures.
