Why won't my Miele KM 6340 turn on?

Your Miele Hob might not turn on because the mains fuse has tripped. Try resetting the trip switch in the mains fuse box, making sure the fuse rating is correct according to the data plate. Another possibility is a technical fault. To resolve this, disconnect the appliance from the power supply for approximately 1 minute. You can do this by switching off the wall socket and removing the plug, or by switching off the isolator, or disconnecting the mains fuse. After a minute, reset the trip switch and turn the appliance back on. If it still doesn't work, contact a qualified electrician or the Miele Service Department.
