Miele H 5961 B Normal soiling, Heavy soiling, Lubricating the FlexiClip telescopic runners

Cleaning and care

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.
