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.

It is engineered to cater to both amateur cooks and culinary enthusiasts, offering precise temperature control and rapid heating capabilities.

One of the standout features of the KM 408-1 is its induction cooking technology.

The cooktop’s intelligent heat management technology further optimizes cooking by providing instant heat adjustments, allowing for rapid boiling or gentle simmering with ease.

Another notable feature is the PowerBoost function, which temporarily increases the cooking power for a short duration. This is ideal for quickly bringing water to a boil or achieving a high-temperature sear on meats. 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. The cooktop’s elegant design is complemented by intuitive touch controls, making it easy to operate while also adding a modern aesthetic to any kitchen.
