Miele KM 344 KM 342 - Manual (Page 17)

Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this cooktop.
Pressurized steam could cause per-
manent damage to the surface and
to components for which the manu-
facturer cannot accept responsibility.
Do not use any sharp or pointed ob-
jects which could damage the seal
between 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 dam-
age the surface of the appliance.
Keep the ignitor in the burner dry. If
it gets wet it will not spark.
Dry your cooktop thoroughly after
cleaning it to prevent lime deposits.
Grates
Let the appliance cool down to a safe
temperature before removing the grate.
Clean the grate, cooktop and knobs
with a sponge and a mild solution of
warm water and liquid dish soap. Soak
baked or hardened spills.
Dry the cooktop and grate thoroughly
after cleaning.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner
for stainless steel can also be used.
Apply sparingly with even pressure.
Stainless steel colored knobs
These controls may become discol-
ored or damaged if not cleaned reg-
ularly.
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner
on the knobs or knobs.
Spills containing salt or sugar should
be removed immediately to prevent
stains.
