Miele KM 408-1 - Manual (Page 5)

Protection from damage
Do not drop anything on the ce-
ramic surface of the grill. Although
the ceramic glass is shatter and
scratch resistant, it is not shatter or
scratch proof.
Do not use any pots or pans on the
grill as these can cause the ap-
pliance to overheat and damage the ce-
ramic surface.
Hard objects can scratch the ce-
ramic glass. Only use teflon
coated or heat resistant plastic spa-
tulas or utensils on the grill.
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar, pieces of plastic or alumi-
nium foil to get on the ceramic surface
while it is hot. If these residues are
allowed to cool on the ceramic surface
pitting or even cracking could occur.
Should sugar, plastic or aluminium fall
on to the grill, first switch the appliance
off, and then immediately, while it is still
hot, scrape off all the remains from the
grill with a shielded blade scraper, tak-
ing great care not to burn yourself on
the hot surface.
Clean the cooktop once it has cooled.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean the appliance. Steam could
penetrate to electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
In areas subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, keep
the appliance and its surroundings
clean at all times. Any damage caused
by pests will not be covered under war-
ranty.
