Requires ProfessionalSafe Checks You Can Do
-
1
Power cycle
Turn off the cooktop at the circuit breaker for 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
If FE 35 was caused by a momentary voltage dip, this may resolve it.
-
2
Check circuit breaker
Verify the cooktop breaker hasn't tripped and is firmly in the ON position.
Miele induction cooktops require a dedicated 40A circuit with 208–240V.

Check for power issues
Note if other high-draw appliances (dryer, AC) are running simultaneously on the same circuit panel.
Voltage can drop below spec when the home electrical load is very high.
