Cleaning And Care - Miele KM 5731 Operating And Installation Instructions

Cleaning and care

For Miele branded cleaning and
conditioning products see "Optional
accessories".
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. The steam could
reach electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
Only use proprietary cleaning
products which are suitable for
cleaning ceramic cooktops. Never
use cleaners containing sand, soda,
alkalis, acids or chlorides, oven
sprays, dishwasher detergents, nor
steel wool, abrasive cleaning
agents, hard brushes, scouring
pads and cloths. You should also
avoid using sponges etc. which
have previously been used with
abrasive cleaning agents, as this will
damage the surface.
Do not use washing up liquid to
clean the ceramic surface, as it can
leave a blue sheen which may be
difficult to remove.
Do not use sharp objects which may
damage the seals between the
ceramic surface and the frame or
between the frame and the worktop.
To prevent the risk of spillages
burning on, remove any soiling as
soon as possible, and ensure that
pan bases are clean, dry and free of
grease.

The appliance should be cleaned after
each use. Allow the cooktop to cool
down before cleaning.
Wipe all coarse soiling off using a
damp cloth. Stubborn soiling may need
to be removed with a shielded scraper
blade.
Finally, clean the cooktop with a
suitable proprietary ceramic cooktop
cleaner (see "Optional accessories")
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 follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Finally wipe the appliance with a damp
cloth, and then dry it with a clean, soft
cloth. Ensure that all cleaning agent
residues are removed. Residues can
burn onto the cooktop the next time it is
used, and cause damage to the
ceramic surface.
