Cleaning And Care - Miele KM 344 Operating Instructions Manual

Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this cooktop.
Pressurized steam could cause per-
manent damage to the surface and
to components for which the manu-
facturer cannot accept responsibility.
Do not use any sharp or pointed ob-
jects which could damage the seal
between the frame and the
countertop.
Never use scouring agents, pads,
abrasive cleaning agents, or strong
cleaners e.g. oven sprays, stain or
rust removers, as these could dam-
age the surface of the appliance.
Keep the ignitor in the burner dry. If
it gets wet it will not spark.
Dry your cooktop thoroughly after
cleaning it to prevent lime deposits.
