Miele dgc 6805 Operating And Installation Instructions page 163

Problem
A humming sound can
be heard after
switching on the
appliance, during
operation and after
switching off the
appliance.
After moving house the
appliance no longer
switches from the
heating-up phase to the
cooking phase.
During operation an
unusually large amount
of steam escapes, or
steam escapes from
parts of the oven where
it does not usually.
The control panel will
not open or close
automatically despite
touching the  sensor
several times.
The oven interior
lighting is not working.
Cause and remedy
It is quite normal and does not indicate any fault with
the appliance. It happens when water is being
pumped through the system.
The boiling temperature of the water has changed as
the altitude of the new location for the appliance
differs from the old one by at least 300 m.
 To adjust the boiling temperature, you need to
descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and care -
Descaling").
The door is not properly closed.
 Close the door.
The door seal is not correctly fitted.
 Press it in all the way round the door to make sure
it is fitted evenly.
The door seal is damaged, e.g. cracks can be seen.
 Replace the door seal.
This can be ordered from Miele (see the end of
this booklet for contact details).
Something is obstructing the control panel.
 Remove the obstruction.
The obstruction sensor is very sensitive and can
prevent the panel opening or shutting if it picks up a
signal.
 Open/close the control panel manually (see end of
this section)
 If the problem occurs again, contact Miele
Service.
The lamp is defective.
 Call Miele Service to have the lamp replaced.
