Problem solving guide

All repairs should be performed by a trained technician in strict accord- ance with national and local codes. Any repairs or maintenance per- formed by unqualified personnel could be dangerous.

Some minor problems can be resolved as follows:

What to do if...

... there is a slight odor during the first use of the cooktop

This is normal, and occurs as the mois- ture in the insulation evaporates.

... the grill does not heat when turned on

Check whether:

the electrical circuit has blown a fuse or “tripped” the circuit breaker. If power can not be restored, it may be necessary to call either an electri- cian or the Miele Technical Service Dept.

... a humming noise is heard while the grill is heating up

This is normal. The sound will disap- pear once the grill is hot.

Additionally, the integrated timer enhances convenience, enabling users to set specific cooking durations for each zone, ensuring precision and reducing the risk of overcooking.

Safety is a priority with the KM 408-1, which comes equipped with features such as an automatic shut-off and a child lock, providing peace of mind for families.
