What System Lock
actually means.
System Lock stops the oven from being switched on by accident, for example by children. It shows when you turn the oven on while the lock is active.

What to do when System Lock shows on the stoveKind of codeMode, not a failure
Something the stove was switched into, often by accident, rather than something that broke: a control lock pressed while wiping the panel, a Sabbath setting, a showroom demo mode that lights the display and heats nothing, a reminder that a spot on the stovetop is still hot. No part is worn out, and the stove's own keys put it right.
Usually leads toNo repair
To cook once, touch the lock symbol for at least 6 seconds.
Shows up asStove Display Blank or Flashing
The clock and display on the stove have gone dark, or they flash the time, a word or a string of characters and ignore the keys you press.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Miele's own guidance for System Lock on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
To cook once, touch the lock symbol for at least 6 seconds.
To switch the lock off for good, choose Safety, System Lock, Off in the settings.
Book a visit only if the lock cannot be switched off this way.
Cleared?
The stove is working again and no part was needed. If the same letters come back while a burner or the oven is on, or the stove switches itself off again in the middle of dinner, book it as a new problem.
What not to do
System Lock is not a frozen display. It is a child-safety setting doing its job.
