Cleaning and care
70
Ceramic surface
When cleaning with liquid dish soap,
no
t all contaminants and residues
are removed.
An invisible film forms, which causes
discol
oration of the ceramic. This
discoloration cannot be removed.
Clean the cooktop on a regular basis
with a special ce
ramic cleaner.
First wipe down the surface with a
damp cloth t
o loosen soiling, then
remove stubborn crusting with a glass
scraper.
Clean the cooktop with the Miele
cer
amic and stainless steel cleaner (see
"Optional accessories") or a
commercial ceramic cleaner and paper
towel or a clean cloth. Do not put the
cleaner on a hot cooktop since this may
cause spotting. Please follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Then clean the cooktop with a damp
cloth
and dry it off. Cleaner residues
will burn into the cooktop during
subsequent uses, damaging the glass
ceramic. Make sure you remove all
residues.
Spots fr
om lime deposits, water, and
aluminum deposits (metallic spots) can
be removed with a glass ceramic and
stainless steel cleaner.
 Danger of burns!
Risk of burns! Wear oven mitts and
use a gl
ass scraper to remove sugar,
plastic or aluminum residues from
the hot cooktop.
Should any sugar
, plastic or
aluminum foil spill or fall onto a hot
burner while it is in use, first turn off the
appliance. Then carefully scrape off
these residues from the cooktop
immediately while they are still hot,
using a shielded scraper blade. Allow
the appliance to cool down, and then
clean the cooktop when it has cooled
down as described above.
