Miele KM 404 Operating Instructions Manual page 12

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
appliance.
The ceramic surface can be cleaned
using a cleaner for ceramic
surfaces. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging.
Keep the ignitor in the burner dry. 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.
Do not use any sharp pointed
objects which could damage the
seal between the ceramic surface
and the surrounding frame or
between the frame and the
countertop.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this cooktop.
Pressurized steam could cause
permanent damage to the surface
and to components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept
responsibility.

The ceramic surface should be cleaned
regularly, preferably after each use.
^ Let your appliance cool down to a
safe temperature and remove the pan
support.
^ Wipe off spills using a damp cloth.
Stubborn spills are best removed
with a shielded scraper blade.
^ Sugar or syrup spills
cleaned before the cooktop cools
completely or the glass will dimple.
^ Apply a cleaner for ceramic surfaces
using a soft cloth or paper towel. This
will prevent any water marks caused
by water boiling over.
^ Clean the ceramic surface with a
damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.
