1. Is it OK to use the dishwasher every day? Yes, dishwashers are designed for everyday use. You can run the appliance whenever it is completely full. Dishwashers like ours come with a half-load cycle for days when you don’t have too many soiled dishes and a full load cycle.
2. What not to put in dishwashers? You should avoid putting wooden cutting boards, wooden utensils (like spoons) and knives with wooden handles in a dishwasher. The hot water can cause the wood to warp, affecting its longevity. You should also not put cast-iron cookware and copper pots and pans. While cast-iron cookware may rust because of too much exposure to water, utensils made of copper may lose their shine.
3. What are the proper steps of washing with the dishwasher machine? Place the ceramic and glassware on the top racks. The bottom basket is ideal for large pots and pans. Always place spoons, knives and forks in the cutlery basket. Spoons and forks should face up while knives down (this is done to avoid the risk of injury).
