Hi all!

I threw away my use and care card...and checked on CC for this info:

I know you have to hand wash the lid and it says NOT to disassemble the lid. Is it OK to get totally wet? Will water get inside the lid?

Anyone already cleaned theirs? I just don't want to mess it up, but I used it for berries today and need to clean it to take to a show tonight!

Thanks!
 
The use and care says "do not submegre in water."

Anyone know if it's ok to rinse it under running water?
 
Yes. That's fine just don't submerge.
 
So Beth - is it DWS???

The bowl and colanders are. It says not to crowd them in the DW though or they will become misshapen. That part made sense to me on CC under product use, but the whole lid cleaning part was pretty vague.

Why would it say not to submerge on the use and care card but not on the PIG? I never save my use and care cards, since I know I can refer to the PIG.
 
Oh!!! DWS - DishWasherSafe! Sorry, I didn't get it!:p

Personally I do not plan to put any of it in the DW. As Kelly said, the bowl and the colanders are DWS but to me they would take up too much room. You are already rinsing them when done with them. Add a little soap, rinse and you're done!

My answer to guests who ask that question will be: "Yes, the bowl and colanders are DWS* but why would you?"







*Will probably use that acronym all the time now :rolleyes:
 
Yes, I have washed mine under running water. It's been fine. I've used mine several times already and love it.
 
I understand that the clear bowl gets scratched up easily and will look better if you keep it out of the DW. Some DWs also will make it cloudy, so I'd handwash it. I have DW'd the baskets, though.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I disassemble my Salad/Berry Spinner for cleaning?

To disassemble your Salad/Berry Spinner, first remove the lid by lifting it off the bowl. Next, take out the inner basket by pulling it straight up. This will allow you to clean each component separately for a thorough cleaning.
