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.
