- Dishwashing Instructions
The cutlery can be washed in the dishwasher. The following precautions contribute to the quality, color, and durability of the cutlery and prevent breakage or corrosion:
Key measures include:
- Remove food residues before placing the cutlery in the dishwasher.
- Preferably, do not use dishwasher salt.
- If you want to use dishwasher salt, pay attention to the following: after pouring the salt into the tank, using the funnel, closing the cap, and wiping spilled liquids with a damp cloth, run an empty wash cycle to remove any salt residues, as they may otherwise damage the cutlery during the washing cycle.
- Place the cutlery with the handles facing up in the dishwasher.
- Use neutral, acid-free, and lemon-free dishwasher tablets ('classic').
- Do not wash at too high a temperature.
- Remove the cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as it is done and dry it if necessary with a cloth.
If in doubt, wash the cutlery by hand.
- The cutlery is broken. Do I have a warranty?
We provide a standard 1-year warranty on the cutlery. First, check if your cutlery is from EME. The brand is engraved in the metal of the cutlery. We are not the supplier of the cutlery. Therefore, we only provide a warranty if you purchased the cutlery from us. If you bought the cutlery from another store, you should contact that point of sale.
No warranty is provided if damages are due to incorrect use or maintenance (see dishwasher instructions). If the product is defective, please contact us first regarding the issue (see contact information).
In the case of a warranty, you will receive a postage label to return the product to us free of charge. We will replace or refund the product as soon as possible. You can also deliver and/or exchange the product in our showroom, but you need to make an appointment first. In the case of a refund, the full purchase amount will be reimbursed.
- Why is my cutlery broken?
Napoleon's cutlery consists of 2 parts: plastic and metal. The weakest piece is always the connecting piece. The cutlery is simply more fragile than cutlery that consists of 1 piece of metal or plastic.
The cutlery from EME Napoleon is made of strong materials and of such quality that it can be washed in the dishwasher and that you can enjoy it for many years. We recommend that you read the maintenance instructions carefully.
The quality of the cutlery may diminish if you do not adhere to the maintenance instructions.
The key measures are:
- Remove food residues before placing the cutlery in the dishwasher.
- Preferably, do not use dishwasher salt.
- If you choose to use dishwasher salt, pay attention to the following: after pouring the salt into the tank, using the funnel, closing the cap, and wiping any spilled liquids with a damp cloth, run an empty washing cycle to eliminate any salt residues, as they could otherwise damage the cutlery during the washing cycle.
- Place the cutlery in the dishwasher with the handles facing upward.
- Use neutral, acid-free, and lemon-free dishwasher tablets.
- Do not wash at too high a temperature.
Are you in doubt? Then simply wash the cutlery by hand
- The metal of the intermediate piece is corroding. What can I do?
- We recommend regular cleaning of the metal spacer with a stainless steel cleaner to prevent discoloration.
- In addition to the dishwashing Instructions we recommend the following:
- A wad of aluminum foil in the cutlery tray or cutlery drawer prevents staining or tarnishing and restores shine to the cutlery.
- Do not use salts or water softener when washing the cutlery.
- If the spacer does get discolored, you can gently lighten it with a scouring pad and abrasive. Be careful not to scratch the other metal of the cutlery with the scouring pad.
- The color of the handle differs from my existing cutlery. How did that happen?
Have you owned cutlery for a long time and recently bought some more? Then it is possible that the new cutlery is sometimes slightly lighter or darker. Over the years, minor changes have been made to the manufacturing process. If you have had the cutlery for a very long time, it is possible that the color has changed slightly. Unfortunately we cannot solve this.
- There are white dots / spots in the (mother-of-pearl) colored handle. What should I do?
It can sometimes happen that after a number of years, one or more white dots become visible in the mother-of-pearl colored handle of the cutlery. You can easily remove this by heating the handle above a heat source (lighter). Do not hold it too close to the handle. Any black residue from the flame can be removed afterwards with water, soap, and a cloth. The white spots will then have disappeared.
- Can I return or exchange my order?
If you are not satisfied and wish to cancel the purchase or exchange the product, you can send it back to us. You must register the return via the online return form.
You must let us know within 14 days after receiving your product. After this notification you have (another) 14 days to send the product to us.

Returns outside the EU are at your own expense, unless the return is due to an error on our part (e.g., a defect or incorrect delivery). You must send the package to:

- How is the cutlery made?
EME is the largest cutlery factory in Europe. This factory is located in Italy, in the city of Lumezzane (near Milan). Do you want to know more about EME Napoleon? Then read our article Cutlery Information and the article About EME Napoleon. EME offers various types of cutlery. However, only the cutlery from the Napoleon series is available in this online shop.
- What material is the cutlery made of?
The cutlery is made of stainless steel and has a plastic handle. The steel is made of stainless steel (also called chrome steel or chrome nickel). The steel consists of 18 parts chrome steel and 10 parts nickel. This is also referred to as 18/10. The nickel ensures that the cutlery shines beautifully. The handle is made of metal acrylic. It is a hard plastic (similar to plexiglass). It is heat resistant and very strong material. Ideal for cutlery. The cutlery can be washed in the dishwasher by using these high-quality materials. Please read the dishwashing Instructions from EME.
