Nope! Please only clean any parts of your TK machine by hand, including but not limited to the milk carafe, drip tray, waste bin, and more. The high temperatures of a dishwasher can warp or otherwise ruin these parts.

### The Recommended Quick-Clean Routine

Keeping your parts clean by hand only takes a minute or two:

**1\. Rinse & Wipe:** Warm water & mild soap only.

Rinse the milk carafe, drip tray, and waste bin under warm (not boiling) tap water using mild dish soap and a soft micro-fiber cloth or gentle sponge.

**2\. Skip the Scrubber:** Avoid abrasive pads.

Do not use steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, or harsh chemical bleach, as these will scratch the matte outer finish of your components.

**3\. Air Dry Completely:** Prevent water spots and sensor errors.

Towel or air-dry all components thoroughly—especially the metal contacts on the back of the drip tray—before sliding them back into your machine.
