Miele KM 5621 Operating And Installation Instructions page 13


If residue remains on the cooktop for any length of time, it can
cook into the cooktop and sometimes it is then not possible to re-
move it. Remove spills and splatters promptly. Also make sure that
the bottom of any cookware is clean, dry, and free of grease before
placing it on the cooktop.

Do not use the ceramic surface for preparing food. Always use
suitable cookware.

Wet sponges or clothes can cause burns due to hot steam if they
are used to wipe spilled food off a hot cooktop. Some cleansers can
emit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be careful
when cleaning the cooktop.

If the cooktop is damaged, cleansers or spilled food can penetrate
the glass surface and cause a short-circuit. Never cook on a dam-
aged cooktop. Contact an electrician immediately.

The cooktop has cooking zones of different sizes. Use cookware
with a level base that is large enough for the cooking zone. Cook-
ware that is too small leaves part of the hot cooking zone uncovered,
which may cause burns due to touching or ignite clothing. The use of
cookware of the right size also makes for better use of the heated ar-
eas.

Not any cookware of glass, glass ceramic, ceramic, clay or other
glass cookware is suitable for use on the cooktop. It can be dam-
aged due to sudden temperature change.

If the handles of a pot or pan extend across an adjacent cooking
zone, this can cause burns, the ignition of flammable materials and
the spilling of food due to inadvertent contact with the cookware.
Turn the pot or pan so that the handles point toward the inside and
do not extend across an adjacent cooking zone.
