Problem solving guide

Many malfunctions and faults that can occur in daily operation can be easily
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.
Contact an electrician or Miele Service (for the
minimum fuse rating, see data plate).
There may be a technical fault.
 Disconnect the appliance from the mains
electricity supply for approx. 1 minute by
– tripping the relevant mains fuse or screwing the
fuse out completely, or
– switching off at the residual current device.
 If, after resetting the trip switch in the mains fuse
box or the residual current current 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. With each
subsequent use, the odour is reduced until it
disappears completely. The smell and any vapours
given off do not indicate a faulty connection or
appliance and they are not hazardous to health.
An unsuitable pan has been placed on the hob.
 Use suitable pans (see "Pans" in the "Induction"
chapter).
The system lock or safety lock is activated.
 Deactivate the system lock or safety lock (see
"System lock / Safety lock").
