Miele's commissioning ignition check on a cooking appliance
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.

What Burner does not ignite during commissioning
actually means.
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.

What to do when Burner does not ignite during commissioning shows on the applianceKind of codeGas 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 toGas hookup and leak check
A new gas appliance joined to your shutoff with a new connector, every joint leak-tested, flames read.
Shows up asIgniter 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.

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.
Confirm the appliance's electrical plug is actually inserted, since the igniter needs power even on a gas burner.
Confirm the relevant circuit breaker in the home's electrical panel is switched on.
Confirm the gas safety valve is open, then repeat the ignition attempt several times to clear air from a newly connected gas line.
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. 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.

In Miele's own words
There is air in the gas line. Repeat the ignition process several times to get rid of any air in the gas line.

A booking moves faster with three things: the message exactly as the display shows it, the model number from the carton or the rating plate, and the moment it first appeared. With those, the office can tell whether it is a setup step or a connection to put right, and send the part that fixes it.
