All manufacturers books contradict each other but I read in one about 20 years ago that cold should only be used because if you have protein food stuffs on plates - such as egg - hot water will bake it on more on contact - therfore the cold water has chance to loosen it first and then wash it off completely as the water warms up. However, dishwasher detergents do claim they can remove anything these days but I don't think they are as good as they were 20 years ago when you could smell the good old bleach in them giving you the knowledge that your crockery was sanitised. I think now they can't do this as many a design on a plate has been washed off !
