What can not be washed in a dishwasher?
What materials can not be loaded into the machine:
- Cast iron. Cast iron grilles, cauldrons, pots, pans can only be handled, preferably without detergents. Otherwise, the surface begins to become covered with a white coating and rust. Some clean pig iron with sand or salt.
Important! Cast-iron utensils with ceramic coating can transfer the automatic washing.
- Tree. Wooden boards, spoons, spatulas lose shape under the influence of high temperatures. The structure of the tree is destroyed, and objects become unusable.
- Enamel. Enamel and Teflon pans, bowls, pans "Tefal". Under a strong pressure of hot water, the coating is washed off and objects can no longer be used.
- Copper and brass. The dishes from these materials darken, lose shape.
- Silver. The table service will instantly lose its luster, and if you put silver with the metal, the objects will react and darken. You can wash silver, but observe precautions. It is recommended to purchase a special accessory for the dishwasher - a tray for washing silver appliances.
- Aluminum. Meat grinder, baking tray, garlic clamp will also darken. Moreover, aluminum is washed off and stains the walls of the dishwasher.
- Crystal. Products made of crystal are sensitive to high temperatures and can crack. Although in modern PMM there is a "Delicate" mode with a lowered temperature, we recommend washing the crystal with your hands. Abrasive detergent particles can scratch the surface.
- Porcelain with a pattern without glaze and gilding. Over time, the decor will darken, wash off, will take an unpresentable appearance.
Is it possible to load a thermos into the dishwasher? It is undesirable, especially products with a glass bulb. The same applies to the thermo mug. Jets of hot water destroy insulation, and the object becomes unusable. Today on the market you can find new types of thermoses that can already be washed in the car: for example, Hoffmann. Look carefully at the notation.
Which subjects are shown for manual care:
- Banks, baby bottles with stickers and drawings. The sticker is peeling off and clogging the drain filter, which will lead to operational problems.
- Knives. If the camera does not have a special knife holder, it is best to take care of them manually. Sharp edges quickly dull from hot water, and can also damage the chamber walls, rubber gaskets.
- Graters, strainer. The dried pieces of food are stuck in the holes and do not wash out with automatic washing.
- Electric kettle, steamer with a special coating, blender. All these items can become worthless. You can load only individual elements of the blender, for example, a corolla and a flask made of heat-resistant plastic.
