Problem solving guide

,
Installation work and repairs to
electrical appliances should only be
carried out by a suitably qualified
person in strict accordance with
current local and national safety
regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).
Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
Ensure that current is not supplied to
the appliance until after
maintenance or repair work has
been carried out.
What to do if ...
... the hob or cooking zones cannot
be switched on.
Check whether
– the pans being used are suitable.
– the Safety lock is activated.
If necessary, deactivate it (see
"Safety lock").
– check whether the mains fuse has
tripped.
If none of the above is the case, then
disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply for approx. 1 minute.
To do this:
– switch off at the wall socket and
withdraw the plug, or
- switch off at the isolator, or
– disconnect the mains fuse.

Reset the trip switch in the mains fuse
box, and switch the appliance back on.
If it still will not switch on, contact a
qualified electrician or the Miele
Service Department.
... there is a strange smell or vapours
when a new appliance is being used.
The smell and any vapours given off do
not indicate a faulty connection or
appliance, and neither are they
hazardous to health.
... the hob can be switched on and
settings selected, but the cooking
zones do not heat up.
Check whether you set the demo-mode
setting by mistake (see "Programming -
P0").
... ß appears in the display for a
cooking zone.
Check whether
– the zone was switched on by mistake
without a pan on it.
– the pan being used is suitable for
use on an induction zone, and that it
is large enough (see "Pans").
... an individual cooking zone or the
whole hob has switched itself off
automatically
The safety switch-off feature or the
overheating protection mechanism has
been triggered (see "Safety switch-off"
and "Overheating protection").
