Frequently Asked Questions - Miele KM 451 Operating Instructions Manual

All repairs should be performed by a
trained technician in strict accor-
dance with national and local codes.
Any repairs or maintenance per-
formed by unqualified personnel
could be dangerous and may void
the warranty.
What if ...
the cooktop or cooking zones cannot
be turned on?
Check whether:
– the child safety lock is activated.
If necessary, turn it off (see "Child
safety lock").
– the electrical circuit has blown a fuse
or "tripped" the circuit breaker.
If none of the above is the case, then
disconnect the appliance from the elec-
tricity supply for 1 minute by "tripping"
the circuit breaker, or withdrawing the
fuse.
Reconnect the appliance to the elec-
tricity supply and if the cooktop still
does not heat up, contact a qualified
electrician or the Miele Technical Ser-
vice Department.
