Miele SPULMASCHINEN user manual

There could be several reasons why your Miele gas burner is not working. Here are a few possible causes:
1. Gas supply: Check if there is a sufficient supply of gas to the burner. Make sure the gas valve is open and there are no leaks in the gas line.
2. Ignition problem: If the burner is not igniting, the issue could be with the ignition system. Check if the burner cap and crown are clean and free from any blockages. Also, make sure the igniter is clean and not damaged. If necessary, clean or replace the igniter.
3. Clogged burner ports: Over time, the ports on the burner can become clogged with debris or grease, which can prevent proper gas flow. Remove the burner cap and clean the ports using a small brush or toothpick, being careful not to damage them.
4. Electrical issues: If your Miele gas burner has electronic controls, check if there is power supply to the appliance. Ensure that the circuit breaker or fuse controlling the burner is not tripped or blown. If necessary, reset the breaker or replace the fuse.
5. Faulty parts: If none of the above solutions work, there could be a fault with the burner itself or other components such as the gas valve, spark module, or control board. In such cases, it is best to contact a qualified technician or the Miele customer service for further assistance.
Remember, gas appliances can be potentially dangerous, so it is important to exercise caution and, if unsure, seek professional help to diagnose and fix the issue.

To clean Miele gas burners, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect the gas supply: Before cleaning, turn off the gas supply to the burners. The shut-off valve is usually located near the stove or in the basement.
2. Remove the burner grates and caps: Lift off the burner grates and remove the burner caps carefully. Some models may have screws holding these components in place.
3. Soak in warm soapy water: Fill your sink or a basin with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Soak the burner grates and caps in the soapy water for at least 15 minutes. This will help loosen any grease or food residue.
4. Scrub the burner grates and caps: Use a soft brush or sponge to scrub the burner grates and caps. Pay close attention to the burner holes and ensure they are clear of any debris. For stubborn stains or build-up, you can use a non-scratch scrub pad or brush.
5. Rinse and dry thoroughly: After cleaning, rinse the burner grates and caps under running water to remove any soap residue. Allow them to air dry completely before reassembling.
6. Clean the burner heads: Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the burner heads. Ensure they are dry before reattaching the burner caps.
7. Reassemble and reconnect the gas supply: Once all the components are clean and dry, place the burner caps back onto the burner heads and reattach the burner grates. Check that everything is properly aligned. Reconnect the gas supply by turning on the shut-off valve.
Note: It is essential to refer to the user manual specific to your Miele gas burner model for any additional or specific instructions regarding cleaning or maintenance.
