Miele KM 418-1 Cooktop User Manual


 
Protecting the appliance from
damage
~
Do not drop anything on the ceramic
surface. Even a light object such as a
salt cellar, could cause damage in
certain circumstances.
~
Do not use pots or pans on the
ceramic hob with bases with
pronounced edges or ridges e.g. cast
iron pans. These could scratch or scour
the hob surface permanently. Grains of
salt and sand can also scratch.
~
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium
foil to get on the ceramic surface when
it is hot. If this should occur, switch off
the appliance and carefully, while they
are still hot, scrape off all remains of
these materials using a shielded
scraper blade. Take care not to burn
yourself. If residues are allowed to cool
before being removed, the ceramic
surface will be susceptible to pitting or
even cracking.
Clean the appliance once it has cooled
down.
~
To prevent the risk of spillages etc.
burning on, remove any soiling as
quickly as possible and ensure that pan
bases are clean, dry and free of
grease.
~
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. The steam could reach
electrical components and cause a
short circuit. Pressurised steam could
also cause permanent damage to the
surface and to other components, for
which the manufacturer cannot accept
liability.
~
Never place hot pans near the
control area. This can damage the
electronics.
~
If a drawer is fitted directly
underneath the hob, ensure that there
is sufficient space between the drawer
and its contents and underside of the
appliance in order to ensure sufficient
ventilation for the hob.
~
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the appliance guarantee.
