Quick answer

A step list for FE49 on a Miele induction hob, with related fan codes and service contact.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so FE49 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

The fan of the hob cooling system is blocked or the hob has insufficient ventilation.

Quick steps for FE49

  1. Open the drawer under the hob and take out whatever touches the fan, and wipe away dust or similar substances.
  2. Read the installation distances in the operating and installation instructions.
  3. Make sure 15 mm of space separates the hob’s bottom edge from the shelf or oven below.
  4. Disconnect the hob from mains power to clear the display.
