Miele KM 406 Operating Instructions Manual page 17

Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaning appliance to clean
this appliance. Pressurised steam
could cause permanent damage to
the surface and to components, for
which the manufacturer cannot ac-
cept responsibility.
Do not use any sharp pointed ob-
jects which could damage the seal
between the ceramic surface and
the surrounding frame and between
the frame and the worktop.
Never use scouring agents or pads,
abrasive cleaning agents, or strong
cleaners such as oven sprays, stain
or rust removers, as these could
damage the surface of the appli-
ance.
Do not use washing up liquid on the
ceramic surface as it can leave a
blue sheen on the surface which
may be difficult to remove.
The ceramic surface can be cleaned
using a proprietary cleaning agent
specifically designed for ceramic
surfaces. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging.
Do not let the ignitor in the burner
get wet. If it gets wet it will not spark.
After cleaning the ceramic surface
must be thoroughly dried with a soft
cloth to prevent a build up of
limescale deposits.
The ceramic surface should be cleaned
regularly, preferably after each use.
Before cleaning allow the hob to cool
down. Wipe soiling off using a damp
cloth. Stubborn soiling is best removed
with a shielded scraper blade.
Then apply a proprietary cleaning
agent for ceramic surfaces using a soft
cloth or kitchen paper towel. This way
any limescale deposits, caused for ex-
ample by water boiling over, are re-
moved.
If wished you could use a cleaning
agent with a protective additive de-
signed to prevent water marks and
smears adhering to the surface.
Finally wipe the hob surface with a
damp cloth and then dry it with a clean
soft cloth.
