Correct application
 This drawer is designed for domestic use and for use in similar
environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts
and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/
shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed
& breakfasts.
 This drawer is not suitable for outdoor use.
 The drawer is only to be used to vacuum and seal food in vacuum
bags intended for this purpose, to vacuum seal preserving jars, jars
with twist-off lids and vacuum-proof containers made of plastic or
stainless steel.
Any other use is not permitted.
 Never vacuum seal live food (e.g. mussels, seafood).
 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible
for their safety, and are able to recognise the dangers of misuse.

Warning and Safety instructions
5
Safety with children
 Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
 Older children may only use the drawer when its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
 Cleaning may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the drawer, and do not
let them play with it.
 The sealing bar becomes hot during operation. The weld seam of
the vacuum bag is also heated to a very high temperature during the
sealing process. Keep children away from the drawer until the
sealing bar and the seam have cooled sufficiently that there is no
longer any danger of burning.
 Danger of suffocation! Children may be able to wrap themselves in
packing material or pull it over their head with the risk of suffocation.
Keep children away from any packing material.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
 Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical
appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service
technician.
 A damaged drawer can be dangerous. Always check for visible
signs of damage. Never use a damaged appliance.
 Pay attention to any damage or cracks to the glass lid or chamber
seal. Damage to the glass lid can cause implosion. Never operate
the drawer if the glass lid and/or the chamber seal is damaged.
 The drawer has an integrated vacuum pump which contains oil. To
prevent oil from leaking out, the drawer must be transported and
stored in a horizontal position only. Do not tilt the drawer and do not
stand it up on its edge.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if oil has leaked out
of the appliance because it has not been transported or stored
correctly.
 Reliable and safe operation of the drawer can only be assured if it
has been connected to the mains electrical supply.
 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified
electrician.
 The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the drawer must match the mains electricity supply in order to avoid
the risk of damage to the drawer. Compare this data before
connecting the appliance. If in doubt, consult a suitably qualified
electrician.

Warning and Safety instructions
7
 Do not connect the drawer to the mains electrical supply by a
multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and
do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
 For safety reasons, this drawer may only be used when it has
been built in.
 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
 Never open the casing of the drawer.
Touching or tampering with electrical connections or components
and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
 Do not operate the drawer with wet hands or if you are in contact
with water.
 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
 If the plug has been removed or the connection cable is not
supplied with a plug, the drawer must be connected to the mains
supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
 If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a
special 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 the
chamber is retained and the glass lid cannot be opened. Do not
under any circumstances try to force the glass lid open or use tools
to open it. You will be able to open the lid when power has been
restored.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the drawer must
be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only
completely 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 from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.

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 very
high temperature during the sealing process. Do not touch the
sealing bar or the seam immediately after the vacuum sealing
process.
 Fire hazard! Do not store any easily flammable substances and
materials 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 the
telescopic runners.
 Damage to the glass lid can cause implosion. Do not place any
objects 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, a
chopping surface or as a shelf.
 The drawer must be built in so that it can be pulled out completely
and there is sufficient room to open the glass lid. This ensures that
you can see into the vacuum chamber and avoid touching the
sealing 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 escape
which can cause the drawer to malfunction.
For this reason only vacuum seal food (liquid or solid) when it has
cooled. Follow the vacuuming process carefully and if necessary seal
the bag early.
 Liquid getting into the drawer and into the vacuum pump air
intake valve can result in damage to the vacuum pump.
 Moisture in food or drinks can cause corrosion damage in the
drawer. Do not use the drawer to store food or drinks.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 Never insert the tubes attached to the drawer into any body
orifices.
 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. Heat
and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture panel and cause
subsequent damage to the drawer, the housing unit and the floor. Do
not close the door until the sealing bar and the drawer have cooled
down completely.
Vacuum sealing preserving jars and jars with twist-off lids in the closed
vacuum sealing chamber:
 Danger of injury! Damage and cracks in jars / twist-off lids can
cause implosion.
Only vacuum jars and lids which are in perfect condition.
 Danger of injury! The high pressure during the vacuuming process
causes the vacuum chamber and the glass lid on the drawer to
distort slightly. Do not let preserving jars or jars with twist-off lids
touch the drawer's glass lid during the vacuuming process as this
can cause damage to the protective coating on the glass lid and
cause it to implode.
Only vacuum seal preserving jars and jars with twist-off lids up to a
maximum height of 8cm in order to maintain a safety gap of at least
1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 short
circuit.
