I do not understand why a cheese cutter can not manufacture stainless steel so. Because something would never happen.
I can only advise against this cheese cutter despite the super practical Händlings.
Update 4/10/2014:
I turned to the company Westmark and described my problem. Then me a replacement unit was sent from one day to another. Really great service !! The cheese cutter to be dishwasher safe per se, but it may be that the high temperatures damage the coating - so the statement of the company.
They have advised me to clean the cutter by hand.
This should the company but then write in their catalog and do not specify the character for dishwashers.
