In a situation when your Miele cooktop feels a flame failure, it is necessary to check all the burners for malfunctioning. Over time, as food particles and splattered sauces make their way into the burner housing, burners become clogged and lose their effectiveness. Luckily, regular cleaning will prevent the issue of a range burner not igniting. Before performing any type of cleaning or service to your range, read your owner’s manual for recommendations and instructions. So without further ado, when your Miele range burners won’t light, follow these steps to clean them thoroughly. Remove the burner cap (the disc that sits atop the burner) and the burner head where the flames disperse. Be careful not to damage an ignition electrode that may be part of your range design. Soak all the parts in warm, soapy water for 30 minutes to loosen the food soil. Scrub all the parts carefully with a non-abrasive dish pad and brush. Use a metal paper clip, if needed, to clear out debris from small holes. Never use steel wool, abrasive pads, or bleach to clean stove burners. Rinse all parts thoroughly, dry with a towel, then allow to finish air-drying completely. While the burner parts are drying, use the soapy water to clean up the grills and drip pans. Once everything is completely dry, reassemble the burners heads, caps, drip pans, and grills. Again, if applicable, take care not to damage an ignition electrode during assembly. In case when cleaning doesn’t resolve the issue, igniters need a replacement.
