Miele's own guidance for a burner that will not ignite when a gas cooking appliance is commissioned for the first time lists the electrical plug, the building's circuit breaker, the gas safety valve, and air still trapped in a newly connected gas line, in that order, before it points at the burner parts themselves. Miele appliance display What to do when Burner does not ignite during commissioning shows on the appliance ### Kind of code Gas and first light A new gas appliance that clicks and retries, or shows an ignition message, on its first light is often only clearing air from a fresh gas line, and the manual allows for a few tries before the flame catches. When it goes on well beyond that, or the flame is lifting, yellow and sooty, the usual cause is a fuel mismatch: a unit set up for natural gas fed from propane, or the other way round, without the conversion kit the maker specifies. Smell gas at any point and it stops being a setup message: leave and call from outside. ### Usually leads to Gas hookup and leak check A new gas appliance joined to your shutoff with a new connector, every joint leak-tested, flames read. ### Shows up as Igniter Clicking After a Gas Hookup: Air in the Line or a Wet Cap An igniter clicking after a gas hookup keeps sparking on a new burner or oven that is slow to light, lights unevenly or does not light at all. ### Make Miele Miele installs include integrated dish care, laundry pairs, ovens and steam ovens, cooktops, hoods and built-in cold storage, each to a precise cutout. ### Source Miele USA customer assistance — burner does not ignite during commissioning (cooktop) Confirmed on Miele's US customer-assistance page for its cooktop line, describing this exact scenario for a first-time or long-idle gas hookup. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Miele's own guidance for Burner does not ignite during commissioning on its appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Confirm the appliance's electrical plug is actually inserted, since the igniter needs power even on a gas burner. 02 Confirm the relevant circuit breaker in the home's electrical panel is switched on. 03 Confirm the gas safety valve is open, then repeat the ignition attempt several times to clear air from a newly connected gas line. 04 If the burner still will not light after clearing air from the line, book a visit rather than continuing to force ignition. ### Still there? It usually turns into [gas hookup and leak check](https://applianceinstallation.center/services/gas-hookup-and-leak-check/). Book with the code and the model number. ### What not to do This is not automatically a failed igniter or burner assembly. Miele's own manual treats air in a new gas line as a normal, expected part of a first commissioning, cleared by repeating the attempt rather than by a part. ## What you may notice with it.

Confirm the appliance's electrical plug is actually inserted, since the igniter needs power even on a gas burner. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why would a gas burner need several ignition attempts on a brand-new hookup? Miele's own manual explains that air trapped in a newly connected gas line has to be cleared before the burner will catch, and repeating the ignition attempt is the documented way to purge it. ### Is it safe to keep trying to light the burner if it doesn't catch the first few times? Miele's own instructions describe repeating the attempt as normal for this situation, but if gas can be smelled continuously rather than briefly during ignition, that's a different, urgent situation and the appliance should be shut off. ### What if the burner still won't light after checking the plug, breaker, valve and gas line? At that point Miele's own manual moves on to checking whether the burner parts are correctly assembled and clean, which is worth having a visit confirm rather than continuing to force ignition. --- **[Read on the site: Miele's commissioning ignition check on a cooking appliance](https://applianceinstallation.center/error-codes/miele-burner-not-igniting-commissioning/)** **[Book a visit with ApplianceInstallation.center](https://applianceinstallation.center/schedule/)**
