Miele Cooktop

Miele KM404

Model # KM404

Electronic re-ignition on the KM404 keeps sparking until it senses a flame, which is exactly what you want when a pot boils over – and exactly what causes the most common complaint on this cooktop. Liquid bridging a switch makes the unit spark continuously with every burner off. Drying it out usually stops it, and the machine is behaving correctly throughout.

FAQ

Miele KM404 FAQ

It is the re-ignition circuit responding to moisture bridging a switch. Turn the cooktop off at the isolator, dry the surface and controls thoroughly, and it usually stops.

The inner ring of ports is probably blocked. Let it cool fully and with the gas isolated, the burner cap and ring can be cleaned.
