Cleaning and care
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 the seals.
Do not use washing-up liquid to
clean the appliance as washing-up
liquid will not remove all soiling and
deposits.
It will also form an invisible coating
which will cause permanent disco‐
louration of the ceramic surface.
Clean the cooktop regularly with a
suitable ceramic cooktop 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 cooktop with the Origi‐
nal Miele ceramic and stainless steel
cooktop cleaner (see "Optional acces‐
sories") or a suitable proprietary ceram‐
ic cooktop cleaner applied with kitchen
paper or a clean cloth. Do not apply
cleaner whilst the cooktop is still hot, as
this could result in marking. Please fol‐
low the manufacturer's instructions.
Finally wipe the cooktop 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 dam‐
age to the ceramic surface. Ensure that
all cleaning agent residues are re‐
moved.
Spots caused by limescale, water and
aluminium residues (spots with a metal‐
lic appearance) can be removed using
the Original Miele ceramic and stainless
steel cooktop 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 cook‐
top.
Should any sugar, plastic or alumini‐
um 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 resi‐
dues from the cooktop immediately
whilst they are still hot, using a shielded
scraper blade. Allow the appliance to
cool down, and then clean as described
above.
