Cleaning And Care - Miele KM 84-2 Operating Instructions Manual

Cleaning and care

Ceramic hob
Basically you can use the same clean-
ing agents for the ceramic hob as you
would for ordinary glass surfaces.
Never use scouring agents or pads,
or strong cleaners such as oven
sprays or stain removers, as these
could harm the surface.
Clean after each use
Wipe off any minor spills with just a
damp cloth.
If the hob is cleaned with a proprietary
cleaner, for example washing up liquid,
light blue staining might occur. These
stains can be removed with one of the
proprietary agents mentioned, although
they can be stubborn, and may take
several applications.
Hardened spills should be carefully
scraped off with a sharp blade. The
hob surface should then be rubbed
clean with a damp cloth.
Light marks with a metallic sheen
(Aluminium deposits) on the hob sur-
face can be removed once the hob has
cooled down by using a suitable pro-
prietary cleaner.
Lime deposits on the ceramic surface,
caused for example by water boiling
over, can be removed with vinegar or a
proprietary ceramic hob cleaner.
Cleaning and care
Removal of sugar, or syrups, plastic
or aluminium foil
On no account turn off the cooking
area affected.
Scrape off the sugar or other
residue thoroughly from the hot hob
with a sharp blade taking care not
to burn yourself. Then switch off the
hob, and when it is cool, clean with
a recommended cleaner.
Suitable proprietary cleaners
There are proprietary cleaners on the
market for ceramic hobs. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Do not apply to the hob when still
hot.
After applying the proprietary cleaning
agent let it dry and then rub it off using
paper kitchen towels.
Always make sure that every trace of
cleaning agent has been removed, as it
could have an adverse effect on the
hob when heated up. Remove using a
damp cloth.
Some cleaners incorporate a silicone
agent which acts as a protective film on
the ceramic hob.
It makes the hob surface smoother and
prevents water and soiling adhering to
the surface.
However, cooking at high temperatures
reduces the effect and the cleaner
needs to be reapplied for renewed
effect.
