Issue
- Discoloration of silver or aluminium items after washing in the dishwasher
Applies to:

Resolution
1. Do not wash silver or aluminum items in the dishwasher.
Aluminum and silver items can turn black due to air, sulfur and water reacting.

- Some silver items only have a thin coating of silver and are not recommended for washing in the dishwasher.
