Problem solving guide

Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by suit-
ably qualified and competent ser-
vice technicians trained by Miele.
Improper repairs may pose a
serious risk to the user. 

The following minor malfunctions can
be corrected without calling the Service
Department:

What to do if . . . .

. . .  the display area is dark

Check whether:

– the appliance is correctly plugged in,

– the mains fuse has blown (call the

Service Department),

. . .  a process will not start.

Check whether:

– if operating in microwave mode the

appliance door is properly shut,

– if operating in microwave mode a

power setting and time have been
entered.

. . .  the microwave / heating functions
but not the interior lighting.

The halogen bulb needs replacing.
Change for a new one as follows:

Disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply, (switch off and un-
plug at the socket, or remove the
fuse,  or switch off at the isolator as
appropriate).

Loosen and remove the lamp cover
(1.). This may be easier using a rub-
ber glove.

Take out the halogen lamp (2.).

Fit a new halogen lamp.

Connection data for halogen lamp:
12 V, 10 W,
Temperature resistant up to 300 °C,
W271 socket, Osram, Type 64418

The wires must lie horizontally to the ap-
pliance. Push the lamps in until they en-
gage.

Screw the lamp cover back on.

Reconnect the appliance to the
mains supply.

. . .  the food is not sufficiently
heated or is not cooked at the end of
a set time

Check whether:

– the cooking process has been inter-

rupted and the microwave function
did not re-start,

– if cooking / reheating in microwave

mode the correct time was selected
for the setting chosen.
A lower power setting normally re-
quires a longer time.
