Normal soiling
Clean the surfaces of the runners using
a damp Miele microfibre E-Cloth or with
a clean sponge and a solution of hot
water and washing-up liquid. Wipe dry
using a soft cloth.
Remove any cleaning agent residues
thoroughly.
Heavy soiling
If necessary, the scouring pad on the
reverse of a washing-up sponge can be
used to clean the runners. Cleaning
may be easier if the soiling is first
dampened with a solution of hot water
and washing-up liquid for a few
minutes. If necessary, a non-abrasive
stainless steel spiral pad can be used.
For very heavy soiling the telescopic
runners can be soaked in a solution of
hot water and washing-up liquid for a
maximum of 10 minutes.
The runners may appear discoloured
or a lighter colour in places after they
have been cleaned. This will not
affect the functioning of the runners in
any way.
Note:
When baking cakes with moist toppings
or fillings e.g. fruit crumble, be careful
not to let them spill over. Should this
happen there is a danger of sticky fruit
juices adhering to the runners and
hindering or even preventing their
movement in and out of the oven.
Clean the runners as described above
and very carefully use a soft nylon
brush to clean the bearings inside the
runners.
Lubricating the FlexiClip telescopic
runners
If the lubrication on the telescopic
runners dries out, they can be
relubricated to ensure they continue to
run smoothly.
A special lubricant is available from
Miele.
Only use this special lubricant, as it
is designed to withstand high
temperatures in the oven.
Other lubricants can harden and
stick to the telescopic runners when
they are heated.
