Darn right it would be trouble, and there might be micro size bits of asbestos possibly in there, and getting onto your dishes and into your body. To be really kosher, I wouldn't risk it, not with a dish washer I ate off the utensils out of. One spec of asbestos can shorten your life considerably I believe. Too much to risk. A woman would likely get furious over that. But that's not the real danger. The real danger is to the only body you get, far as we know. Not worth the risk I say. I'd run it 5 cycles empty, then never do it again. Too much risk, totally unnecessary risk.

Just use the regular dishwasher-type soap, and the "pots-n-pans" cycle, if ya got a choice. Turn off the heated dry, or catch it before that part of the cycle starts. Does a wonderful job. At least it has for me, so far. Great for wire wheel covers, too. One thing, though. Make sure the wife / SO doesn't find out. Could be trouble.
