FlexiClip telescopic runners are best
cleaned after each use.
If the telescopic runners are used
frequently without being cleaned,
it may become very difficult or even
impossible to clean them.
When cleaning the telescopic
runners do not use:
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,
– stainless steel cleaning agents,
– hard, abrasive sponges and
brushes, e.g. pot scourers,
– oven sprays.
Avoid soaking telescopic runners in hot
suds and cleaning the bearings as this
can cause the special lubricant in them
to be dissolved and washed out.
Normal soiling
Clean the surfaces using a damp
Original Miele microfibre 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 telescopic runners.
Cleaning is easier if a little washing-up
liquid is applied to the soiling and left to
soak in for a few minutes before
cleaning.

For very heavy soiling the runners can
be soaked in a solution of hot water and
washing-up liquid for a maximum of 10
minutes.
After cleaning there may be some
discolouration or lightening to the
telescopic runners. This will not
affect the functioning of the
telescopic runners in any way.
Please 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 telescopic
runners and hindering or even
preventing their movement in and out of
the oven.
Clean the telescopic runners as
described above and very carefully use
a soft nylon brush to clean the bearings
inside them.
Lubricating the 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.
