IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4
Please note that the vacuum-sealing drawer is referred to as the drawer in these
operating instructions.
This drawer complies with all current local and national safety re-
quirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal in-
jury and material damage.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before
using the drawer. They contain important information on safety, in-
stallation, use, and maintenance. This prevents both personal in-
jury and damage to the drawer.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the drawer as well as in the “IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these operating and installation instructions in a safe place
and pass them on to any future owner.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Appropriate use
 This drawer is intended for domestic use and use in other similar
environments.
 The drawer is not intended for outdoor use.
 The drawer is only for domestic use to vacuum and seal food in
vacuum bags intended for this purpose and to vacuum-seal food in
vacuum-proof containers made of plastic or stainless steel.
All other types of use are not permitted.
 Never vacuum-seal live food (e.g., mussels, seafood).
 Persons who lack physical, sensory or mental abilities, or experi-
ence with the appliance should not use it without supervision or in-
struction by a responsible person.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6
Safety with children
 Do not leave children unattended: Children should not be alone or
unsupervised in the area where the appliance is installed. Do not al-
low them to sit or stand on the appliance.
 Be sure to supervise any 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 seal-
ing bar and the seam have cooled sufficiently that there is no longer
any danger of burning.
 Danger of suffocation. While playing, children may become entan-
gled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over
their head, presenting the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging mate-
rial away from children.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7
Technical safety
 Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been in-
stalled correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified techni-
cian.
 Maintenance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so.
Service work should only be performed by a qualified technician.
 Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and re-
pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorized 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 side.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if oil has leaked out
of the appliance because it has not been transported or stored cor-
rectly.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
 Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-
ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronized with
the grid power supply (e.g., island networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply sys-
tem complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an equivalent
standard.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronized with the grid power supply, or these measures must be
replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described, for
example, in the current version of VDE-AR-E 2510-2.
 Be certain the drawer is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appli-
ance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective
grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement
be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house
checked by a qualified electrician.
 The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the drawer must match the domestic electrical supply in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the drawer.
Compare this data before connecting the appliance. If in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
 Do not connect the drawer to the electrical supply with a power
bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance.
 For safety reasons, the drawer may only be used when it has been
fully installed.
 This drawer may not be used in non-stationary locations (e.g. on a
ship).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
 Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical
or mechanical components of the drawer will endanger your safety
and may lead to appliance malfunctions.
Do not open the casing of the drawer under any circumstances.
 Do not operate the drawer with wet hands or if you are in contact
with water.
 Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorized service techni-
cian will void the warranty.
 Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can safety of the appliance be assured as
intended by the manufacturer.
 If the plug has been removed or the power cord is not supplied
with a plug, the drawer must be connected to the power supply by a
suitably qualified electrician.
 If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a special
power cord (see “Electrical connection” under “Installation”).
 If power is interrupted during vacuum-sealing, the vacuum in the
chamber is retained and the glass lid cannot be opened. Do not un-
der 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 re-
stored.
 The drawer must be completely disconnected from the power
supply during installation, maintenance and repair work. This can be
ensured as follows:
- The circuit breaker has tripped, or
- The fuse of the electrical installation is completely removed, or
- The plug (if present) is removed from the outlet. In the process,
pull the plug not the cord.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
 If the drawer is installed behind a cabinet panel (e.g., a door), en-
sure that the door is never closed while the drawer is in use. Heat
and moisture can build up behind a closed cabinet 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
Correct use
 Storage in the appliance: Flammable materials should not be
stored in the drawer.
 Danger of burning. The sealing bar gets 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 weld seam immediately after the vacuum-sealing process.
 Risk of fire. Do not store any easily flammable substances and
materials in the vicinity of the drawer.
 The maximum load capacity of the telescopic drawer rails is
55lbs (15kg). If you overload the drawer or lean/stand on it when it
is open, you will damage the rails.
 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 work surface, a chop-
ping surface, or a shelf.
 The drawer must be installed so that it can be pulled out com-
pletely and there is sufficient room to open the glass lid. This en-
sures 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
which will cause an impression of 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 seal the bag
early if necessary.
 If liquid gets into the drawer and the vacuum pump air intake
valve, this can result in damage to the vacuum pump.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
 Moisture in food or drinks can cause corrosion damage in the
drawer. Do not use the drawer to store food or drinks.
 Miele does not permit vacuum-sealing of glass containers.
 Never insert the tubes attached to the drawer into any body ori-
fices.
Vacuum sealing single-use jars and jars with twist-off lids in the closed vac-
uum chamber:
 Risk of injury. Damage and cracks in jars or glass/twist-off lids can
cause implosion.
Only vacuum seal jars and lids which are in perfect condition.
 Risk of injury. The high pressure during the vacuum-sealing
process causes the vacuum chamber and the glass lid on the drawer
to distort slightly. Do not let single-use jars or jars with twist-off lids
touch the drawer’s glass lid during the vacuum-sealing process as
this can cause damage to the protective coating on the glass lid and
cause it to implode.
Only vacuum seal single-use jars and jars with twist-off lids up to a
maximum height of 3" (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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
Cleaning and maintenance
 Danger of electric shock. The steam from a steam cleaner could
reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit. Never use
a steam cleaner for cleaning.

Caring for the environment
14
Disposal of the packing mate-
rial
The cardboard box and packing materi-
als protect the appliance during ship-
ping. They have been designed to be
biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children. Dan-
ger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable materials. They also
contain certain substances, compounds
and components which were essential
for the proper functioning and safe use
of the equipment. Handling these mate-
rials improperly by disposing of them in
your household waste can be harmful to
your health and the environment. There-
fore, please do not dispose of your old
appliance with regular household waste
and follow local regulations on proper
disposal.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please en-
sure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal. Ob-
serve safety requirements for appli-
ances that may tip over or pose an en-
trapment hazard.
