Possible cause and solution
There is no power to the range.
 Check if the breaker has tripped. Contact a
qualified electrician or Miele Customer Service (for
the minimum fuse rating; see data tag).
There may be a technical fault.
 Disconnect the range from the power supply for
approx. 1 minute:
– Turn off the relevant breaker.
– Remove the screw-in fuse completely.
– Turn off the ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI).
 If, after resetting/replacing the breaker or the
GFCI, it still will not turn on, contact a qualified
electrician or Miele Customer Service.
The metal components have a protective coating.
When the cooktop is used for the first time, this
causes a smell and possibly also vapor. 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 odors are reduced until
they disappear completely. The smell and any vapors
do not indicate a faulty connection or a defective
appliance and are not harmful to your health.
Unsuitable cookware has been placed on the burner.
 Use suitable cookware (see "Operating the
induction cooktop – How induction works").
The system lock is activated.
 Deactivate the system lock (see "Features – Safety
features of the induction cooktop").
