Cleaning and care
27
Ceramic surface
Do not clean the area between the
glass-ceramic surface and the frame
or the frame and the worktop with
sharp, pointed objects.
This could damage to the seals.
Do not use washing-up liquid to
clean the appliance as washing-up li-
quid will not remove all soiling and
deposits.
It will form an invisible coating which
will cause permanent discolouration
of the ceramic surface.
Clean the hob regularly with a suit-
able ceramic hob cleaning agent.
Wipe all coarse soiling off using a damp
cloth. Stubborn soiling may need to be
removed with a shielded scraper blade.
Then clean the hob with Miele ceramic
and stainless steel hob cleaner (see
"Optional accessories") or a suitable
proprietary ceramic hob cleaning agent
applied with kitchen paper or a clean
cloth. Do not apply cleaner whilst the
hob is still hot, as this could result in
marking. Please follow the manufac-
turer's instructions.
Finally wipe the hob with a damp cloth,
then dry with a soft, dry cloth. Residues
can burn onto the appliance the next
time it is used and cause damage to the
ceramic surface. Ensure that all clean-
ing agent residues are removed.
Spots
caused by limescale, water and
aluminium residues (spots with a metal-
lic appearance) can be removed using
Miele's ceramic and stainless steel hob
cleaner.
Danger of burning.
Protect your hands with oven gloves
before using a shielded scraper
blade to remove sugar, plastic or alu-
minium residues from the hot hob.
Should any
sugar, plastic or alu-
minium foil
spill or fall onto a hot cook-
ing zone while it is in use, first switch off
the appliance. Then carefully scrape off
all the sugar, plastic or aluminium
residues from the hob
immediately
whilst they are still hot, using a shielded
scraper blade. Allow the appliance to
cool down, and then clean as described
above.
