Pan recognition before component assumptions
Miele explains that a flashing selected power level can relate to missing or unsuitable cookware, an undersized pan base, or repositioning on particular full-surface hobs. Tell us which zone and pan were in use and whether this was a new combination. Do not infer a failed induction module from a display alone. If the surface is cracked or the electrics trip, leave the hob unused rather than comparing more pans.
A single zone, paired area or the whole control panel
Specify whether only one zone fails, a linked cooking area behaves differently or no controls respond. Report lock symbols, the exact characters shown and any recent installation or spill. A selected power level is a control setting, not a measured heat output. Include an integrated extractor only if the hob actually has one, and say whether the extraction or cooking function is affected.
Find the model without lifting the hob
Miele notes that hob data plates are underneath and that a second label may be supplied with the appliance documentation. Use that paperwork if available; do not lift the glass or expose wiring to reach the plate. This enquiry route concerns electric and induction cooking. Gas work or specialist combined installations need separate suitability confirmation and are not implied by a general hob listing.
Safe checks and deciding your next step
For checks that do not involve dismantling the appliance, read the electric & induction hob safety guidance. If you are weighing up a repair and a replacement, see what affects that decision. Your exact model handbook takes precedence over general guidance.
Details to include with this request
- Full hob model from paperwork or another safely accessible record.

Identify the exact Miele model
Miele's data-plate finder explains where model and serial details can be found for the appliance type. Use accessible paperwork if the plate cannot be reached safely. Miele UK data-plate finder
Copy the complete reference as printed, including any suffix. Use an accessible label or your appliance paperwork; leave built-in units, electrical covers and heavy appliances in place. If the label cannot be reached safely, explain this when you contact us.
For the manufacturer’s explanation of the feature discussed here, see Miele UK: flashing hob power level.
If you are considering a replacement
Replacement fitting depends on the cut-out, clearance, ventilation and electrical requirements of the proposed hob. An extractor hob can also have ducting requirements. Cabinet, supply or duct changes need an agreed separate scope.

Miele electric & induction hob repair questions
Can a flashing power level be caused by the cookware?
Yes, Miele lists cookware recognition among the explanations on applicable induction models. The model and circumstances matter; a persistent issue cannot be diagnosed simply by copying a symbol from another hob's guide.
Can a cracked hob still be used on the other zones?
Do not continue using a hob with damaged glass. Tell the office about the damage and model, without testing unaffected-looking zones or attempting to remove the surface.
What details help with a Miele hob repair enquiry?
Report the affected zone, displayed symbols and whether different suitable pans behave differently. Tell us the fuel or hob type so the office can confirm suitability; do not attempt internal electrical or gas work.
Should I contact Miele or UKCDA if the appliance has a guarantee?
Check your manufacturer guarantee or service-plan paperwork before agreeing an independent chargeable visit. Miele provides its own repair and support options. UKCDA is an independent repair business, not Miele's authorised service; send any previous diagnosis or parts estimate so the office can assess the requested work without assuming a manufacturer plan covers it.
Does this cover Miele Professional equipment or every specialist model?
This page concerns the supported domestic appliance category. A Miele Professional machine, a domestic appliance used commercially or a specialist installation needs a separate suitability check and is not promised by this guide. Send the complete model and describe its use, including any fitted water connection, linked appliance or access restriction. A range name alone does not confirm eligibility or parts availability.
