What Switch off appliance
actually means.

The CMP 250 manual gives two causes for this request: heat and a dirty brewing unit. A cool-down alone clears the first; if the request keeps coming back after cooling, the brewing unit is next.

Questions
about Switch off appliance.

Can I clear Switch off appliance myself?
Switch the machine off at the main switch and let it cool. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Which switch does the Gaggenau mean by switch off?
The main switch that cuts power to the machine, not just a standby touch. That full restart is what the screen asks for.
How often should the Gaggenau brewing unit come out for cleaning?
Gaggenau's newer manual suggests once a week on top of the automatic rinse. The older CMP 250 benefits from the same habit.
Can this Gaggenau screen mean the brewing unit drive is wearing?
If it keeps coming back with a clean unit and a cool machine, yes, the drive or its sensing is a likely suspect for the technician.

Back to your everyday

Still showing Switch off appliance?

Three things make the booking useful: the message or number exactly as the display showed it, the full model number from the plate, and whether the machine still grinds and pours at all. Send those and the likely part can be looked up before the van leaves.
