Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your Vollrath Disher.

• Dishwasher Safe: The disher is designed to be dishwasher safe. Place it securely in the dishwasher.
• Hand Washing: For hand washing, use warm water and a mild detergent. Ensure all food particles are removed, especially from around the blade mechanism.
• Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue.
• Drying: Dry the disher completely after washing to prevent water spots and maintain the stainless steel finish.
• Storage: Store in a clean, dry place.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your disher, consider the following:

• Food Sticking: Ensure the blade mechanism is clean and free of debris. For very sticky foods, a light spray of cooking oil on the scoop may help.
• Mechanism Stiffness: If the release mechanism feels stiff, ensure it is clean. A small amount of food-grade lubricant can be applied to pivot points if necessary, though typically not required for this design.
• Corrosion: While made of stainless steel, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or acidic foods without proper cleaning can affect the finish. Always clean promptly after use.
