Cleaning and care
Normal soiling
Clean the surfaces of the runners using a damp Miele microfibre
Remove any cleaning agent residues thoroughly.
Heavy soiling
If necessary, the scouring pad on the reverse of a
For very heavy soiling the telescopic runners can be soaked in a solution of hot water and
Oven cleaning sprays can be used if absolutely necessary. However, only use them on cold surfaces, and only allow the spray to be in contact with surfaces for a few minutes at the most. Be careful to avoid getting oven spray inside the runners.
Any residual oven spray left on the FlexiClip runners could give off an unpleasant smell when they are heated.
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.
