Cleaning the ceramic surface
Risk of damage caused by
pointed objects.
The seal between the cooktop and
the countertop could be damaged.
The seal between the ceramic sur-
face and the frame could be dam-
aged.
Do not use pointed objects for clean-
ing.
When cleaning with liquid dish soap,
not all contaminants and residues
are removed. An invisible film forms,
which causes discoloration of the ce-
ramic surface. This discoloration
cannot be removed.
Clean the ceramic surface regularly
with a suitable ceramic cooktop
cleaning agent.
First wipe down the surface with a
damp cloth to loosen soiling, then re-
move stubborn crusting with a glass
scraper.
Then clean the ceramic surface with
the Miele Ceramic and Stainless-steel
Cleaner (see "Optional accessories" –
"Cleaning and care products") or with
a proprietary ceramic cleaner applied
with a paper towel or a clean cloth.
Do not put the cleaner on a hot ce-
ramic surface since this may cause
staining. Please follow the cleaning-
agent manufacturer's instructions.
Wipe the ceramic surface with a
damp cloth to remove any cleaning-
agent residue and dry it with a soft,
dry cloth.
Cleaning and care
Residues can burn onto the cooktop
the next time it is used and cause
damage to the ceramic surface. En-
sure that all cleaning-agent residues
are removed.
Stains caused by limescale, water,
and aluminum residues (stains with a
metallic appearance) can be removed
using the Miele Ceramic and Stain-
less-steel Cleaner.
Risk of burning or scalding due
to hot cooking zones.
The cooking zones are hot during
use.
Wear pot holders and use a glass
scraper to remove sugar, plastic, or
aluminum foil residues from the hot
ceramic surface.
Should any sugar, plastic, or alu-
minum foil spill or fall onto the hot
ceramic surface while it is in use, first
turn off the cooktop.
Then carefully scrape off these
residues immediately while they are
still hot, using a glass scraper.
Afterwards, clean the ceramic surface
in its cooled state, as described
above.
