how to clean the rollers?

You have to remove a lot of parts to get to the rollers... Start with the top and the sides will separate easily giving you a better idea on how to proceed. If that sounds too difficult, take the unit to a tool service shop.

Generally the rollers do not require "cleaning" unless you have attempted to plane "green" wood or pine that contains resin. Unplug the planer before performing maintenance! Your first step is to clean the surface of the "skid" plate on which the boards slide. Remove all wood dust from the interior of the planer with a shop-vac. Then clean the in-feed, out-feed and platen surfaces with a resin remover, WD-40 or naphtha. You may need to use 0000 steel wool to remove heavy deposits. Then coat the surfaces with a paraffin based film such as Boeing Boeshield T-9 or Bostick Top Coat. Now visually inspect the rollers by positioning the cutter head to its fully open position. If you see deposits try to remove them with WD-40 and 00 steel wool. Apply light pressure so as not to abrade the surface of the rollers. You may need to run the planer to advance the rollers. Always unplug the unit before performing any work on or near the cutter head. Wipe down the rollers with naphtha and a paper towel to remove any residual oils or resins before use.

Use tape or a lint roller. I Don't like cleaning with acetone because I think it eats away the rubber.

I just flush them with purified water and let them air dry but if you want to you can get cleaning tablets. Ive never had a problem with them though.

I use a cotton swab to clean below the roller periodically and wipe down the bar more frequently. vacuuming is a great idea.

Just wash them in warm water. You can use a little soft-soap if you like, but don't use any harsh solvents or cleaners.

I am just getting ready to clean mine as well. In looking over the instructions it is suggested to use a pipe cleaner, or feather duster and/or a vacuum to get the loose dirt and dust out.

The simple answer is no, and there's no need to ever have to extract them for cleaning. The dough doesn't stick to the rollers, so they can be cleaned in situ with a brush. Should a spot of dough stick to a roller, simply let it dry so it can be flaked off, and next time flour your dough so it doesn't stick. However, technically speaking, you might be able to take the gadget apart (or break it) to extract the rollers, but I don't know whether you'd be able to get it back to proper functionality again.

Use a damp paper towel. To clean underneath the blades, double fold a damp paper towel and slide it under the blades. Holding the paper towel with both hands, slide it up, down, left and right along the bottom of the blade.

I just soak them in hot soapy water and use a bottle brush if necessary. Rinse them well and let them air dry.

Esthela, maybe t there's something stuck inside, or wound around the roller or brush? Otherwise, I have no idea. Good luck!

I have been scouring the internet for an answer to this very same question. The only idea that I have comeup with is - number 1 - take them to the cleaners and have them steam them, or in the alternative, buy a steamer and do it yourself. Let me know if you got any other answers. I went on youtube for a video also and did not find anything to help. Miele does nothing to help. embry7808@yahoo.com

Turn them inside out and use a sponge with soapy water. Cleans like a breeze and the baked goods slide out of them better than any other brand I've used!!

Mine is doing the exact same thing. Been looking for a solution without any luck.The rollers are turing like they are supposed to, but not scrubbing anything. Just two little tracks where the sponge wheels are.

If you have that "key" that came with your roller mouse it helps you remove the pad to clean it, the user manual explains it.http://ergo.contour-design.com/support-and-downloads/user-manuals
