Miele KM 611 Series Operating And Installation Instructions page 39

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
discolouration 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
Original Miele ceramic and stainless
steel cooktop cleaner (see "Optional
accessories") or a suitable proprietary
ceramic 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 follow 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
damage to the ceramic surface. Ensure
that all cleaning agent residues are
removed.
Cleaning and care
Spots caused by limescale, water and
aluminium residues (spots with a
metallic 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
aluminium residues from the hot
cooktop.
Should any sugar, plastic or
aluminium 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 residues 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.
