Miele KM424 - Manual (Page 5)

Protection from damage
Do not drop anything on the
ceramic surface of the cooktop.
Although the ceramic glass is shock
and scratch resistant, it is not shock or
scratch proof.
Do not use pots or pans with
pronounced edges or ridges on
the ceramic cooktop. These could
scratch the cooktop permanently. See
"Selecting Cookware" for more
information. Grains of salt and sand can
also scratch.Make sure that the bases
of any pots and pans are clean, free of
any fat or oils and are dry.
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar, pieces of plastic or
aluminium foil to fall on the burners
when they are hot. If these residues are
allowed to cool on the ceramic surface
pitting or even cracking could occur.
Any spills should be removed as
quickly as possible to prevent them
from burning on and becoming difficult
to remove.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean the appliance. Steam could
penetrate electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
Never place hot pots or pans over
the display, as the underlying
electronics may be damaged.
