Cleaning and care
Ceramic cooktop
Generally you can use the same clean- ing agents for the ceramic cooktop as you would for ordinary glass surfaces.
Never use scouring agents or pads, or strong cleaners such as oven sprays or stain removers, as these could harm the surface.
Clean after each use
Wipe off any minor spills with a damp cloth.
If the cooktop is cleaned with a soap, for example dishwashing liquid, light blue staining may occur. These stains can be removed with a ceramic cook- top cleaner, although they can be stubborn and may take several applica- tions.
Hardened spills should be carefully scraped off with a razor blade. The cooktop surface should then be rubbed clean with a damp cloth.
Light marks with a metallic sheen
Aluminum deposits on the cooktop sur- face can be removed once the cooktop has cooled down by using a ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Lime deposits caused by water boiling over, can be removed with vinegar or a ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Removal of sugar, syrups, plastic or aluminum foil
Do not turn off the cooking area! Scrape off the residue thoroughly from the hot cooktop with a razor blade, taking care not to burn your- self. Then turn off the cooktop, and when it is cool, clean with a ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Suitable ceramic cooktop cleaners
There are special cleaners on the mar- ket for ceramic cooktops. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
If you have difficulty finding a suitable ceramic cooktop cleaner, contact the Miele Service Department for advice.
Do not apply to the cooktop when still hot.
After applying the ceramic cooktop cleaner let it dry and then rub it off using a soft towel.
Always make sure that every trace of cleaning agent has been removed, as it could have an adverse effect on the cooktop when turned on.
