Troubleshooting and error codes
| Problem | Possible cause and remedy |
|---|---|
| The display is dark. | Check whether the time of day display is set so that it does not show in the display. Check whether the mains fuse has tripped. If it has not tripped, contact a qualified electrician or Miele. |
| The oven does not heat up. | Check if the system lock has been activated. Check whether the mains fuse has tripped. If it has not tripped, contact a qualified electrician or Miele. |
| The time of day or "12:00" is flashing in the display. | There has been a power cut. Confirm the time of day with the OK sensor, or reset the time. You will have to enter programmed cooking processes again. |
| A noise can be heard after a cooking programme. | This is not a fault. The cooling fan continues to operate after a programme has finished. It switches itself off once the oven has dropped to a certain temperature. |
| There are spots like rust on the catalytic surfaces. | When roasting on the rack, the circulating air sometimes picks up spices, which are then deposited on the oven interior walls. These residues are not removed by catalytic cleaning, and should be removed while fresh with a mild solution of hot water and washing-up liquid applied with a soft brush. |
| The halogen lamp needs replacing. | Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. Remove the shelf runners. Use the lever supplied to release the lamp cover from its frame. Replace the lamp with a new one (Osram 64418, 12 V, 10 W, G4). Do not touch the surface directly when changing the lamp. Push the lamp cover back into its frame, and replace the shelf runners. Reconnect the appliance to the mains electricity supply. |
| Cakes and biscuits are not cooked properly after following the times given in the chart. | Check that the correct temperature has been set. Check whether there has been a change to the recipe. |
| Cakes / biscuits are browning unevenly. | There will always be a slight unevenness. If browning is very uneven check that the correct temperature was set and that the correct shelf level was used. With conventional heat the material and colour of the tin used plays an important role. Light coloured, shiny tins are less suitable. |
| A fault code appears in the display: F + a number | F 55: Safety switch-off has been activated. The appliance will be ready for use again after it has been switched off and then back on again. For all other fault codes please contact the Miele Service Department. |
