Miele KM 408-1 Manuel D’Utilisation

Cleaning and care

Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this ap-
pliance. Pressurized steam could
cause permanent damage to the
surface and to components for
which the manufacturer cannot ac-
cept responsibility.

Do not use any sharp pointed ob-
jects which could damage the seal
between the ceramic surface and
the surrounding frame and between
the frame and the  top.

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.

Do not use liquid  dish soap on the
ceramic surface as it can leave a
blue sheen on the surface which
may be difficult to remove.

The ceramic surface can be
cleaned using a cleaner for ceramic
surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions on the packaging. 

Ensure that every trace of cleaner
has been removed by rinsing the ce-
ramic surface with clean water. Any
remaining trace could taint food
when the grill is next used.

After cleaning, thoroughly dry the
ceramic surface with a soft cloth to
prevent a build up of limescale 
deposits.

Clean the grill after each use.

Allow the grill to cool down. Use a
damp cloth to remove any debris. Stub-
born soiling can be removed with a
shielded scraper blade.

Then apply a cleaner for ceramic sur-
faces using a soft cloth or paper towel.
This way any limescale deposits,
caused by water boiling over and me-
tallic marks (aluminium deposits) are
removed.

Finally, wipe over the surface with a
damp cloth and then dry with a soft,
clean cloth.

Should any 

 spill or fall on to the cooktop

while it is in use, first turn off the cook-
top. Then immediately, while the sur-
face is still hot, use a shielded scraper
blade to scrape off the sugar, plastic or
aluminium foil, taking care not to burn
yourself. Allow the cooktop to cool
down and then clean with a suitable
ceramic cooktop cleaner.
