Cleaning and care Never use a steam cleaner to clean this cooktop. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components. Do not use any sharp or pointed objects 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, these could damage 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. Spills containing salt or sugar should be cleaned immediately. Cooktop Let the appliance cool to a safe temperature before removing the grates. ^ Clean the grates, 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 grates thoroughly after cleaning. The 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. Printed surfaces Remove any soiling which comes into contact with the printed flame symbols and the Miele logo right away. Soiling, particularly salty food or liquid and olive oil, can cause damage if left on the printed surfaces for too long. Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on the printed surfaces. This can rub off the print. Stainless steel colored knobs These controls may become discolored or damaged if not cleaned regularly. Do not use a stainless steel cleaner on the knobs. 17
