Problem Solving Guide - Miele CS 1212-1 Operating And Installation Instructions

With the aid of the following guide, minor problems can be easily corrected
without contacting Miele. If, after reading this guide, you can't remedy the problem
yourself, please call Miele (see back cover for details).
Please note, however, that a call-out charge will be applied to unnecessary service
visits where the problem could have been rectified as described in these operating
instructions.

Danger of injury! Installation, maintenance and repairs may only be carried
out by a suitably qualified and competent person authorised by Miele. Repairs
and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.
Miele cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
Do not attempt to open the casing of the appliance yourself.
Problem
The cooking zones do
not heat up.
A smell and vapours are
given off when the new
appliance is being used.
The  flashes in a
cooking zone display.
Possible cause and remedy
There is no power to the cooktop.
 Check if the circuit breaker has tripped. Contact
an electrician or Miele (for the minimum fuse
rating, see data plate).
There may be a technical fault.
 Turn the rotary control to 0.
 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 the mains circuit breaker.
 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 Miele.
The metal components have a protective coating.
When the appliance is used for the first time, this
causes a smell and possibly also vapour. The material
from which the induction coils are made also gives off
a smell in the first few hours of operation. This smell
will be less noticeable with each subsequent use
before dissipating completely. The smell and any
vapour given off do not indicate a faulty connection or
appliance and they are not hazardous to health.
There is no pan on the cooking zone, or the pan is
unsuitable.
 Use a suitable pan (see "Pans").
