Only wash items marked "dishwasher safe" in the dishwasher. � If fine glassware is washed in the dishwasher select the "China & Crystal" program*. This will reduce the risk of clouding. Silver and aluminum: � Silver or aluminum items may tarnish. � Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may be damp or spotted at the end of a program where water has adhered to the polish. This can be rubbed off with a soft, dry cloth. Silver that has been cleaned in an immersion dip is usually dry at the end of a program, but may tarnish. � If left to dry, foods containing sulfur can discolor silver. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, fish and marinades. � Silverware may tarnish or pit if washed next to stainless steel. Leave space between these metals. � Clean aluminum items, e.g. grease filters, with domestic dishwasher detergent only.
