Technical safety

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could bedangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electricalappliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved servicetechnician.

A damaged drawer can be dangerous. Always check for visiblesigns of damage. Never use a damaged appliance.

Pay attention to any damage or cracks to the glass lid or chamberseal. Damage to the glass lid can cause implosion. Never operatethe drawer if the glass lid and/or the chamber seal is damaged.

The drawer has an integrated vacuum pump which contains oil. Toprevent oil from leaking out, the drawer must be transported andstored in a horizontal position only. Do not tilt the drawer and do notstand it up on its edge. The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if oil has leaked outof the appliance because it has not been transported or storedcorrectly.

Reliable and safe operation of the drawer can only be assured if ithas been connected to the mains electrical supply.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteedwhen continuity is complete between it and an effective earthingsystem. It is most important that this basic safety requirement ispresent and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, thehousehold wiring system should be inspected by a qualifiedelectrician.

The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate ofthe drawer must match the mains electricity supply in order to avoidthe risk of damage to the drawer. Compare this data beforeconnecting the appliance. If in doubt, consult a suitably qualifiedelectrician.


7

Do not connect the drawer to the mains electrical supply by amulti-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard anddo not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

For safety reasons, this drawer may only be used when it hasbeen built in.

This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobileinstallations (e.g. on a ship).

Never open the casing of the drawer.Touching or tampering with electrical connections or componentsand mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can causeoperational faults.

Do not operate the drawer with wet hands or if you are in contactwith water.

The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance isnot repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spareparts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of theappliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

If the plug has been removed or the connection cable is notsupplied with a plug, the drawer must be connected to the mainssupply by a suitably qualified electrician.

If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with aspecial connection cable of type H 05 RR F (rubber insulated),available from Miele, in order to avoid a hazard.

If power is interrupted during vacuum sealing, the vacuum in thechamber is retained and the glass lid cannot be opened. Do notunder any circumstances try to force the glass lid open or use toolsto open it. You will be able to open the lid when power has beenrestored.


8

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the drawer mustbe disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is onlycompletely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– the mains circuit breaker is switched off, or

– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn fromthe socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mainsplug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricitysupply.


9

Correct use

Danger of burning! The sealing bar becomes hot during operation.The weld seam of the vacuum sealing bag is also heated to a veryhigh temperature during the sealing process. Do not touch thesealing bar or the seam immediately after the vacuum sealingprocess.

Fire hazard! Do not store any easily flammable substances andmaterials in the vicinity of the drawer.

The telescopic runners can support a maximum load of 15 kg.Overloading or leaning or sitting on the drawer will damage thetelescopic runners.

Damage to the glass lid can cause implosion. Do not place anyobjects on the glass lid. Ensure that the glass lid cannot sustain damage from falling objects.

Do not use the drawer or the glass lid as a working surface, achopping surface or as a shelf.

The drawer must be built in so that it can be pulled out completelyand there is sufficient room to open the glass lid. This ensures thatyou can see into the vacuum chamber and avoid touching thesealing bar and weld seam and burning yourself.

When vacuuming liquids, bubbles can form at lower temperatures,creating the impression that the liquid is boiling. Steam can escapewhich can cause the drawer to malfunction. For this reason only vacuum seal food (liquid or solid) when it hascooled. Follow the vacuuming process carefully and if necessary sealthe bag early.

Liquid getting into the drawer and into the vacuum pump airintake valve can result in damage to the vacuum pump.

Moisture in food or drinks can cause corrosion damage in thedrawer. Do not use the drawer to store food or drinks.


10

Never insert the tubes attached to the drawer into any bodyorifices.

If the drawer is installed behind a furniture panel (e.g. a door),ensure that the door is never closed whilst the drawer is in use. Heatand moisture can build up behind a closed furniture panel and causesubsequent damage to the drawer, the housing unit and the floor. Donot close the door until the sealing bar and the drawer have cooleddown completely.

Vacuum sealing preserving jars and jars with twist-off lids in the closedvacuum sealing chamber:

Danger of injury! Damage and cracks in jars / twist-off lids cancause implosion. Only vacuum jars and lids which are in perfect condition.

Danger of injury! The high pressure during the vacuuming processcauses the vacuum chamber and the glass lid on the drawer todistort slightly. Do not let preserving jars or jars with twist-off lidstouch the drawer's glass lid during the vacuuming process as thiscan cause damage to the protective coating on the glass lid andcause it to implode. Only vacuum seal preserving jars and jars with twist-off lids up to amaximum height of 8 cm in order to maintain a safety gap of at least1 cm between the lid of the jar and the glass lid of the drawer.

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean the drawer. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a shortcircuit.

Caring for the environment

11

Disposal of the packingmaterialThe transport and protective packaginghas been selected from materials whichare environmentally friendly fordisposal, and can normally be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces theuse of raw materials in themanufacturing process and alsoreduces the amount of waste in landfillsites. Ensure that any plasticwrappings, bags etc. are disposed ofsafely and kept out of the reach ofbabies and young children. Danger ofsuffocation.

Disposing of your oldapplianceElectrical and electronic appliancesoften contain valuable materials. Theyalso contain specific materials,compounds and components, whichwere essential for their correct functionand safety. These could be hazardousto human health and to the environmentif disposed of with your domestic wasteor if handled incorrectly.

Operation

16

Important information on use– Only vacuum seal food.

– Only use food that is fresh and ingood condition.

– Ensure hygienic conditions and thatfood has not been out of therefrigerator too long, e.g. duringtransportation.

– Only vacuum seal food in suitablevacuum sealing bags, preserving jarsand jars with twist-off lids (screw-topjars) or in vacuum-proof externalcontainers.

We recommend that you use thevacuum sealing bags supplied (see"Optional accessories"). These arecold stable and boil-proof andtherefore are suitable for storage in therefrigerator or freezer and for Sousvide cooking of solid and liquid food.

– Vacuum seal only food that hascooled.

– Allow pre-cooked and grilled food tocool down at least to roomtemperature (approx. 20 °C) beforevacuum sealing it. Food that is not normally stored inthe refrigerator, e.g. dried pasta ormuesli can also be vacuum sealed atroom temperature.

– If rinsing food with cold water, dry itbefore vacuum sealing to preventwater from collecting in the vacuumbag or container.

– Only vacuum seal food in bags of amaximum size of 250 x 350 mm(sealed edge bags) or 240 x 350 mm(tubular bags).

– Use boil-proof bags if you want tocook food Sous vide after vacuumsealing it.

– Select a suitable bag size for the sizeof the food. If the vacuum bag is toobig, too much air can remain inside.The bag can be cut to fit the size ofthe food.

– If you want to vacuum seal severaltypes of food in one bag, place thefood evenly side-by-side in the bag.

– Fill the vacuum bag to a maximum of²/₃ with solid food or ¹/₃ with liquid.

– For a perfect weld seam, make surethat the edge of the bag is dry andgrease-free in the area of the seam.

– Position the open edge of the bagparallel to the sealing bar so that theedge protrudes over the sealing barby approx. 2 cm.

– Take care not to cover the vacuumpump air intake valve with the bag.

– Vacuum sealing bags are for singleuse only.

– Place food that is suitable for coolingin the refrigerator or freezer aftervacuum sealing it.

– When vacuum sealing food inpreserving jars and jars with twist-offlids, make sure that the jars and thelids are clean.

Operation

17

Preserving jars and jars with twist-offlids must only be vacuum sealed inthe closed vacuum chamber.

– To guarantee the minimum gap of1 cm to the glass lid of the drawer,the jars must not be taller than 8 cm.Before vacuum sealing, make surethat jars do not exceed the maximumpermitted height.

Useful tips– Freeze liquids before vacuum sealing

them. You can then fill the bags ²/₃full.

– Fold the edges of the vacuum sealingbag outwards for filling. This will giveyou clean, perfect weld seams.

– To prevent small bags from slippingdown into the vacuum chamber, achopping board can be placed in thebottom of the chamber.

– If you are unsure whether food suchas berries or potato chips will lose itsshape during vacuum sealing, startwith the lowest vacuum level.

Operation

18

Using the vacuum levelsThere are 3 levels for vacuum sealing.

The higher the vacuum level selected, the greater the vacuum.

Vacuumlevel

Use for

Packaging, portioning and storing

Suitable for:

– food that is prone to squashing, e.g. lettuce, berries or chips;

– preserving jars and jars with twist-off lids (screw cap lids) withliquid contents e.g. stock or pickled vegetables.

Marinating, tenderising, Sous vide cooking and freezing

Suitable for:

– food that is prone to squashing, e.g. tender fish fillets;

– sauces and food with a high liquid content (≥ 50 g), e.g. ragout,curry;

– preserving jars and jars with twist-off lids (screw cap lids) withmore solid or dry contents e.g. jam, pesto or cake.

Sous vide cooking, freezing and storage

Suitable for:

– meat and more solid food, e.g. potatoes, carrots;

– hard cheese (storage);

– food with a low liquid content (≤ 50 g), such as meat seasonedwith a herb oil.

Operation

19

Using the sealing levelsThere are 3 levels for sealing vacuum bags.

The sealing level to select depends on the material thickness of the bag: thestronger the bag, the higher the sealing level.

Level 3 is recommended for the vacuum sealing bags supplied.

Useful tip: The sealing bar will get progressively hot when carrying out a numberof consecutive vacuuming processes. You can use a lower sealing level aftersealing a few bags.

Cleaning and care

29

Carrying out a drying cycleWhen food is vacuumed, moisture getsinto the oil circulation system in thevacuum pump. To remove the moistureit is necessary to run a drying cycleafter a particular operating period.

The sensor on the control panel ofthe drawer lights up yellow when adrying cycle needs to be carried out.After the first time it lights up you canstill run another 10 vacuumingprocesses. After that, the sensorlights up red and a drying cycle must becarried out. The drawer will lock afterthe last remaining use and cannot beused again until drying has been carriedout.

We recommend carrying out a dryingcycle before the drawer locks out.

The whole drying cycle lasts for amaximum of 20 minutes.

The vacuum chamber must be freefrom objects and liquid residues forthe drying cycle.Clean and dry the vacuum chamberas necessary.

Touch the sensor.

Close the glass lid.

The drying cycle starts. The sensorwill flash yellow throughout the entireprocess.

You can cancel the drying cycle withthe sensor. If a drying cycle iscancelled, it must be repeated afterthe remaining vacuuming processeshave elapsed or when the drawer isswitched on again.

When the drying cycle has finished, abuzzer will sound and the sensorgoes out. You can now use the draweragain as usual.

Problem solving guide

30

With the aid of the following guide, minor problems can be easily correctedwithout contacting Miele. If, after reading this guide, you can't remedy the problemyourself, please call Miele (see back cover for details).Please note, however, that a call-out charge will be applied to unnecessary servicevisits where the problem could have been rectified as described in these operatinginstructions.

Danger of injury! Installation, maintenance and repairs may only be carriedout by a suitably qualified and competent person.Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Mielecannot be held liable for unauthorised work.Do not attempt to open the casing of the appliance yourself.

Problem Possible cause and remedy

The drawer will notopen.

The safety screws on the back of the drawer have notbeen removed. Call Miele.

The drawer cannot beswitched on.

The appliance is not correctly plugged in andswitched on at the mains socket. Insert the plug and switch on at the socket.

The circuit breaker is defective or has tripped. Reset the circuit breaker in the mains fuse box

(minimum fuse rating - see data plate). If, afterresetting the circuit breaker in the mains fuse boxand switching the appliance back on, theappliance will still not heat up, contact a qualifiedelectrician or Miele.

The drawer will switch itself off automatically to saveenergy if no other action is taken within a certain timeframe after switching it on or after the end of avacuuming process. Switch the drawer back on.

The sensors are notreacting to touch.

Foreign objects, soiling or liquid residues have gotonto the control panel. Remove the objects and/or clean the control

panel.


31


The vacuuming processtakes longer thanexpected.

The oil in the vacuum pump has become extremelyhot. Leave the drawer to cool for an hour before

starting another vacuuming process. When carrying out a number of consecutive

vacuuming processes, wait a minimum of2 minutes between each process to prevent the oilfrom overheating again.

The vacuum sealing bagwas not sealed early.

The required vacuum (vacuum level 1) for sealing abag was not achieved. Touch the sensor again or repeatedly until the

vacuuming process ends and the bag is sealed.

All sensors have goneout. The glass lid willnot open.

There was an interruption to the power supply duringthe vacuuming process. The vacuum chamber is stillunder pressure so the glass lid cannot be opened.

Do not in any circumstances try to force the glasslid open or use tools to open it.

When the power supply is restored, the glass lidcan be opened again after initialisation (all sensorsand controls light up).

Start the vacuuming process again if necessary.

There is still too muchair in the bag at the endof the vacuumingprocess.

The vacuum level was too low. Start the vacuuming process again with a new bag

and a higher vacuum level.The vacuum sealing bag is too big for the food to bevacuumed. Use a new smaller bag or cut a larger bag to fit the

size of the food. Start the vacuuming process again with a higher

vacuum level if necessary.

After severalconsecutive vacuumingprocesses, the weldseam is faulty/notproperly sealed.

The sealing bar has overheated. Wait a minimum of 2 minutes between individual

vacuuming processes to avoid the sealing baroverheating again.


32


The edge of the bag isnot completely sealed.

The edge of the bag was not positioned centrallyalong the sealing bar or has slipped. Place the edge of the bag centrally along the

sealing bar. Make sure that the edge of the bag isparallel to the sealing bar and protrudes over it byapprox. 2 cm.

The bag is wider than 25 cm. Use vacuum sealing bags with a maximum width

of 25 cm.

The seal was not strongenough and hasopened.

The edge of the bag is dirty (inside and out). For aperfect weld seam the edge of the bag must be dryand grease-free in the area of the seam. Fold the edges of the vacuum sealing bag

outwards for filling. This will give you a clean,perfect weld seam.

The edge of the bag was not positioned smoothly andwithout creases on the sealing bar. Position the bag smoothly and without creases

along the sealing bar.The sealing level was too low. Start the vacuuming process again with a new

vacuum sealing bag and select a higher sealinglevel.

The rubber on the counterpressure bar is not evenlyfitted. Flatten the rubber.

The sealing bar and/or the counterpressure bar isdamaged. Call Miele to have it replaced.

The bag is notmaintaining the vacuumalthough the weld seamis intact.

The vacuum sealing bag has been damaged by sharppointed objects, e.g. pointed pasta shapes or a bone. Start the vacuuming process again with a new

vacuum sealing bag, on a lower vacuum level ifnecessary.

Use an external container if possible.


33


The weld seam isdefective or notproperly sealed in oneor more places.

The sealing bar and/or counterpressure bar are dirtyor there are liquid residues on the sealing bar. Clean and dry the sealing bar and/or

counterpressure bar.The rubber on the counterpressure bar is not evenlyfitted. Flatten the rubber.

The edge of the bag is dirty (inside and out). For aperfect weld seam the edge of the bag must be dryand grease-free in the area of the seam. Fold the edges of the vacuum sealing bag
