Singular or Plural?

I have two questions.
1. Does the following sentence make sense?
"Do not attempt to clean the product in a dish washing machine or dish dryer or use the product in a microwave oven."
2. Do I have to say, " in dish washing machines or dish dryers or use the product in microwave ovens"?

The product can obviously only be in one machine at a time. Use the singular. I would also put another article (a) before dish dryer but my opinion doesn't count!
