Do not use washing-up liquid to
clean the ceramic surface.
Washing-up liquid 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
suitable ceramic hob cleaner.
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") 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 manufacturer's instructions.
Finally, wipe the hob with a damp cloth,
then polish with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure
that all cleaner residues are removed.
Residues can burn onto the hob the
next time it is used, and cause damage
to the ceramic surface.
Spots
caused by limescale, water and
aluminium residues (spots with a
metallic appearance) can be removed
using Miele's ceramic and stainless
steel hob cleaner.
Should any
sugar, plastic or
aluminium foil
spill or fall onto a hot
cooking 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 whilst
they are still hot, using a shielded
scraper blade. Take care not to burn
yourself.
Allow the appliance to cool down, and
then clean as described above.
