Problem Solving Guide - Miele CS 1421 Salamander Operating And Installation Instructions

Installation work and repairs to
electrical appliances must only be
carried out by a suitably qualified
and competent person in strict
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations (BS 7671
in the UK). Repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
What to do if ...
... you cannot raise the browning
unit.
Check whether
– food deposits have hardened or
anything has become stuck in the
gap around the browning unit.
– the mains fuse has tripped. If the
fuse has blown, contact a qualified
electrician or the Miele Service
department.
... the appliance does not heat up.
Check whether
– the browing unit is raised sufficiently.
It must be raised by at least 70 mm.
– the standing surface has been
inserted and is positioned correctly.
There was an interruption to the power
supply during operation, and the
heating has switched itself off.
To operate the appliance again,
– turn the control to "0".
– lower the browning unit fully.

Problem solving guide

... the halogen heating element
switches off intermittently.
This is quite normal and does not
indicate incorrect operation or a fault
with the appliance.
... when setting "12" is selected, the
appliance does not get hot enough
for the food to start browning.
Check that the mark on the control is
exactly positioned at the "12". The
appliance operates at a lower power
level when the control is positioned
between the "12" and the "0".
... the browing unit cannot be
lowered.
Check whether
– the appliance has cooled down
sufficiently. The residual heat
indicator must have gone out.
– the standing surface is positioned
correctly.
... everytime the browning unit is
lowered it rises shortly afterwards.
Check whether there is an object
between the browning unit and the
standing surface (see "Safety features /
Obstruction sensor").
