Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer. Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently. Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Left-overs, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use.

Attention! When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher proof. Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance. Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets. Open the door and slide out the baskets.
