What LOC
actually means.
LOC on a Miele cooktop means the system lock or safety lock is on. After the right control is held for six seconds, the timer display counts down and the lock is released.

What to do when LOC shows on the cooktopKind of codeMode, not a failure
A state the cooktop was put in, or one it picked deliberately — a child lock, a demo mode that lights the keys but heats nothing, a residual-heat letter over a zone that is still warm, a prompt that no pan has been found. Nothing has broken and no part is called for.
Usually leads toNo repair
Hold the lock control for 6 seconds (or the pair Miele names for the safety lock) and wait for the countdown to finish.

Touch keys or a slider do nothing, the display lights but ignores every press, or a knob turns without starting its burner or element.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Miele's own guidance for LOC on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Hold the lock control for 6 seconds (or the pair Miele names for the safety lock) and wait for the countdown to finish.
Keep your finger on the control for the full 6 seconds before letting go.
If LOC is still shown after the countdown ends, book a visit.
Cleared?
The cooktop came right without a new part. If the same message returns while a zone or burner is on, or the top shuts itself down again mid-meal, treat it as a fresh problem and book it.
What not to do
LOC is not an electronic problem. It shows that a lock is active and will clear after the countdown.
