In order to preserve your dinnerware and keep it looking its best, we recommend you review and practice the following guidelines:
Handling
Soiled dishes should always be scraped and stacked right away and used dishes should never be left to stand overnight. Remember to separate your china from silverware and glassware as they could easily chip or damage your dinnerware.
Washing
It is vital that you wash all soiled dishes within 30 to 45 minutes after use. We also recommend you use solid plastic racks for washing and storing your china, rather than plastic coated metal. Other precautions include making certain you use the proper pre-soak solution. The wrong solution can cause abrasions to the china's glaze and can result in metal markings and food staining on your dinnerware.
Rinsing
When pre-rinsing, make certain your water temperature is between 110 degrees to 120 degrees F. Check your dishwasher, or check with your dishwasher dealer to ensure that your water temperature, rinse cycle and water pressure are adequate to properly clean your dinnerware. Also ask your dealer about handling peak times of operation and make certain your equipment will be able to keep up with the demands. And of course, always keep a lookout for any dishes that are still soiled, even after the final rinse cycle.
Storing
Always allow your china to air dry before moving it to the storage area. In order to prevent metal transferring onto your dinnerware, make certain that your countertops and shelving are constructed out of 302 stainless with a number three or four finish. We also recommend that you store clean china far enough away from the food preparation and the soiled dish area. This is especially important during peak periods.
