Cooktop care
When cleaning the cooktop, make sure the cooktop is "Off", and be careful not to accidentally turn it "On".
Under no circumstances should a steam cleaner be used to clean this appliance. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components for which the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility.
Do not use any sharp pointed objects which could damage the seal between the ceramic surface, the surrounding frame and the countertop.
Never use scouring agents, pads, abrasive cleaning agents or strong cleaners, e.g. oven sprays, stain or rust removers, as these could damage the surface of the appliance.
The ceramic surface can be cleaned using a cleaner for ceramic surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging.
Make sure that no cleaner residue remains on the ceramic surface by carefully wiping the cooktop with a damp cloth. Cleaner residues could damage the cooktop when heated.
After cleaning, thoroughly dry the ceramic surface with a soft cloth to prevent a build up of limescale deposits.
The ceramic surface should be cleaned regularly with a cleaner for ceramic surfaces. Follow the ceramic cleaner manufacturer’s instructions. If you have difficulty locating a suitable product contact Miele’s Technical Service Department.
Before cleaning allow the cooktop to cool. Wipe spills off using a damp sponge. Stubborn spills are best removed with a shielded scraper blade.
To remove any limescale deposits or metallic residue apply ceramic cleanser using a soft cloth or use a sheilded scraper blade if necessary.
A cleaner with a special additive to prevent water marks and smears on the ceramic surface may be used.
After cleaning, wipe the ceramic surface with a damp cloth to remove any residue. Cleaner residues could damage the cooktop or create toxic fumes when heated. Finally, dry the cooktop with a clean soft cloth.
Any melted solids (e.g. sugar, plastic, syrup, aluminium foil, etc.) should be removed as quickly as possible and while the burner is still warm. If they are allowed to harden, the cooktop may become pitted. Scrape the melted item off the cooktop using a sheilded scraper blade. Once the cooktop has cooled, remove any remaining residue using a ceramic cooktop cleaner.
