Miele KM412 - Manual (Page 18)

Under no circumstances should a
steam cleaner be used to clean this
appliance. Pressurized steam could
cause permanent damage to the
surface and to components for
which the manufacturer cannot
accept responsibility.
Do not use any sharp pointed
objects which could damage the
seal between the ceramic surface,
the surrounding frame and the frame
and the countertop.
Never use scouring agents, pads,
abrasive cleaning agents or strong
cleaners, e.g. oven sprays, stain or
rust removers, as these could
damage the surface of the
appliance.
Do not use liquid dish soap 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 cleaner for ceramic
surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions on the packaging.
Make sure that no cleaner residue
remains on the ceramic surface by
carefully wiping the cooktop with a
damp cloth. Cleaner residues could
damage the cooktop when heated.
After cleaning, thoroughly dry the
ceramic surface with a soft cloth to
prevent a build up of limescale
deposits.
The ceramic surface should be cleaned
regularly, preferably after each use.
Allow the cooktop to cool down before
cleaning. Wipe spills off using a damp
cloth. Stubborn spills are best removed
with a shielded scraper blade. Apply a
cleaner for ceramic surfaces using a
soft cloth or paper towel. This will
remove any limescale deposits and
metallic marks (aluminium deposits). A
cleaner with a special additive to
prevent water marks and smears on the
ceramic surface can be used. Wipe the
cooktop surface with a damp cloth and
dry with a clean soft cloth.
Should any sugar, plastic or
aluminium foil spill or fall onto the
cooktop while it is in use, use a
shielded scraper blade to scrape it off
while the surface is still hot. Take care
not to burn yourself. Allow the cooktop
to cool down and then clean with a
suitable ceramic cooktop cleaner.
