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. 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 Cooktop Cleaner (see "Optional
accessories – Cleaning and care
products") or with a proprietary ce-
ramic cleaner applied with a paper
towel or a clean cloth. Do not put the
cleaner on a hot cooktop since this
may cause spotting. Please follow the
cleaning-agent manufacturer's in-
structions.
Finally wipe the cooktop with a damp
cloth 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 cleaner residues are re-
moved.
Spots caused by limescale, water,
and aluminum residues (spots with a
metallic appearance) can be removed
using the Miele Ceramic and Stain-
less-Steel Cooktop 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
cooktop.
Should any sugar, plastic, or alu-
minum foil spill or fall onto a hot
cooking zones while it is in use, first
turn off the cooktop.
Then carefully scrape off these
residues immediately while they are
still hot, using a shielded scraper
blade.
Afterwards, clean the ceramic surface
in its cooled state, as described
above.
