When washing fork/knife products in the dishwasher, it is recommended to place the knives in a separate compartment. It is advisable to wash utensils with food residue on them in hot soapy water with a soft brush that will not damage the product surface before placing them in the dishwasher. The rinse program of the dishwasher should not be used for fork/knife products. It is recommended to remove fork/knife products from the dishwasher before the final drying cycle.
