The soiling present on the cooktop or under the cookware before cooking has burnt on during the cooking process.
When to clean
Before each use: Clean the entire cooktop and the base of the cookware.
After every use: Clean the entire cooktop.
Once a week: To prevent cleaning agent residue being burned on, clean the glass-ceramic surface with the Miele ceramic and stainless steel cleaner or with a proprietary glass-ceramic cleaner. Please follow the cleaning agent manufacturer’s instructions.
Removing light soiling
Clean the entire glass-ceramic surface of the cooktop with a damp, soft all-purpose cloth and a solution of warm water and a little liquid dish soap. Please follow the cleaning agent manufacturer’s instructions.
