Dishwasher · Loading and item suitability

Why should labels and stickers be removed only as instructed before washing jars?

Loose paper or adhesive material can detach during a cycle. A reused container also needs to be suitable for the chosen treatment, not merely made of glass.

Understanding this situation

A dishwasher cannot identify whether decoration, glue or a lid liner will tolerate the programme. Removing labels by an appropriate method before loading may be required, but solvents must not be introduced into the machine.

A useful next step

Follow the container's care guidance and keep loose packaging out. If paper breaks up inside, use the appliance's approved safe cleaning method. Do not run extra cycles through substantial debris to clear it away.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
