Miele KM 451 Cooktop User Manual


 
When cleaning the cooktop, make sure
the cooktop is "Off", and be careful not
to accidentally turn it "On".
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 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.
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 with a cleaner for ceramic
surfaces. Follow the ceramic cleaner
manufacturer’s instructions. If you have
difficulty locating a suitable product
contact Miele’s Technical Service
Department.
Before cleaning allow the cooktop to
cool. Wipe spills off using a damp
sponge. Stubborn spills are best
removed with a shielded scraper blade.
To remove any limescale deposits or
metallic residue apply ceramic cleanser
using a soft cloth or use a sheilded
scraper blade if necessary.
A cleaner with a special additive to
prevent water marks and smears on the
ceramic surface may be used.
After cleaning, wipe the ceramic
surface with a damp cloth to remove
any residue. Cleaner residues could
damage the cooktop or create toxic
fumes when heated. Finally, dry the
cooktop with a clean soft cloth.
Any melted solids (e.g. sugar, plastic,
syrup, aluminium foil, etc.) should be
removed as quickly as possible and
while the burner is still warm. If they are
allowed to harden, the cooktop may
become pitted. Scrape the melted item
off the cooktop using a sheilded
scraper blade. Once the cooktop has
cooled, remove any remaining residue
using a ceramic cooktop cleaner.
