Care tips

4. Empty the dishwasher without delay

Flatware should be removed from the dishwasher about 10-20 minutes after is stopped.

5. Use a metal cleaner if necessary

Stains, light rust and residual deposits which may occasionally occur, can be removed with a soft liquid non-abrasive metal cleaner.

6. Storage of flatware

Each flatware piece is best kept individually in a flatware canteen. Even better: keep flatware in a special drawer lined with velours or equipped with a flatware case. There are variable flatware storage systems available for all sizes and demands.
Very often flatware which is in daily use, is being kept in a flatware basket where the pieces keep touching each other. Even if the contents of this basket is tidily sorted, fork rubs against fork and knife against knife. While this leads to unsightly blemishes over the course of time, it does not affect the performance of the flatware in any way.
