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.
 Disconnect the appliance from the electricity
supply for approx. 1 minute. To do this:
– switch off at the wall socket, or switch off at the
isolator, or
– disconnect 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
which when heated for the first time will give off a
slight smell and possibly some vapours. The smell
and any vapours given off do not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance and they are not harmful to
health.
The system lock or safety lock is activated.
 Deactivate the system lock or safety lock (see
"System lock / Safety lock").
