remedied. Time and money will be saved because a service call will not be
needed.
The following guide may help you to find the reason for a malfunction or a fault,
and to correct it.

Cause and remedy
There is no power to the hob.
 Check whether the mains fuse has tripped. Con-
tact an electrician or Miele Service (for the min-
imum fuse rating, see data plate).
There may be a technical fault.
 Disconnect the appliance from the mains electri-
city supply for approx. 1 minute by
– tripping the relevant mains fuse or screwing the
fuse out completely, or
– switching off the residual current protection
device.
 If, after resetting the trip switch in the mains fuse
box or the residual current protection device, the
appliance will still not turn on, contact a qualified
electrician or Miele Service.
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 be-
fore dissipating completely. The smell and any vapour
given off do not indicate a faulty connection or appli-
ance and they are not hazardous to health.
There is no pan on the cooking zone, or the pan is un-
suitable.
 Use a suitable pan (see "Pans").
The system lock or safety lock is activated.
 Deactivate the system lock or safety lock (see
"System lock / Safety lock").
