Miele KM 5722 Operating And Installation Instruction page 9

Protecting the appliance from
damage
Do not drop anything on the
ceramic surface. Even a light
object could cause damage in certain
circumstances.
Do not use pots or pans on the
ceramic hob with bases with
pronounced edges or or ridges, e.g.
cast iron pans. These could scratch or
scour the hob surface permanently.
Grains of salt and sand can also
scratch.
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar, or pieces of plastic or
aluminium foil to get onto the cooking
zones when they are hot. If this should
occur, switch off the appliance, and
carefully, scrape off all the sugar,
plastic or aluminium residues from the
hob whilst they are still hot, using a
shielded scaper blade. Take care not to
burn yourself.
If residues are allowed to cool before
being removed, the ceramic surface
will be susceptible to pitting or even
cracking.
Clean the appliance once it has cooled
down.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean this appliance. The steam
could attack the electrical components
and cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could cause permanent damage
to the surface and to other
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Warning and Safety instructions
Never place hot pans near the
control area. This could damage
the electronic unit underneath.
This hob is fitted with a cooling fan.
If a drawer is fitted directly
underneath the hob, ensure that there
is sufficient space between the drawer
and its contents and the underside of
the appliance in order to ensure
sufficient ventilation for the hob. Do not
store small items or paper in the
drawer. They could get in through the
ventilation slots or be sucked into the
housing by the fan and damage the fan
or impair cooling.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage caused by cockroaches or
other vermin will not be covered by the
guarantee.
