What do the symbols on my dishes mean?
If you have bought new products for the dining table or in the kitchen, it is nice to know what you can and cannot do with these products. To help you with this, we have put usage symbols on our products.
This way you can use your cutlery, dishes, crockery, bowls and glasses correctly. You can also see if you can put it in the dishwasher and the microwave and you know whether you can use a pan on an induction, ceramic or gas hob.
