Please note that the vacuum sealing drawer is referred to in these operating in-
structions as the drawer.
This drawer complies with all relevant safety requirements. Inap-
propriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to
property.
To avoid the risk of accidents or damage to the appliance, please
read these instructions carefully before installation and before us-
ing it for the first time. They contain important notes on installa-
tion, safety, use and maintenance.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct application
 The 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, 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).
 People with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge who are not able to use the
drawer safely on their own must be supervised whilst using it. They
may only use it unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it
safely and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect
operation.

Warning and Safety instructions
6
Safety with children
 Children under the age of 8years must be kept away from the
drawer unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children aged 8and older may only use the drawer without super-
vision if they have been shown how to use it and are able to do so in
a safe manner. Children must be able to understand and recognise
the possible dangers caused by incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean the drawer unsupervised.
 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 seal-
ing bar and the seam have cooled sufficiently that there is no longer
any danger of burning.
 Danger of suffocation! Whilst playing, children may become en-
tangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it
over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material
away from children.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re-
pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised 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.
 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 drawer can only be guaranteed when
correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement
is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested 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 connect-
ing the appliance. If in doubt, consult a suitably qualified electrician.
 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
 This drawer must not be used in a non-stationary location (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.
 While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be un-
dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
 If the plug is removed from the connection cable or if the cable is
supplied without a plug, the drawer must be connected to the elec-
trical supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
 If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a
special connection cable (see “Electrical connection”).
 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.
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the drawer must
be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions

 If the drawer is installed behind a furniture panel (e.g. a door), en-
sure 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use
 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 vacuuming 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 tele-
scopic 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 seal-
ing bar and weld seam and burning yourself.
 When vacuuming liquids, bubbles can form at lower temperatures
which will cause a boiling impression. 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 inside the drawer and into the vacuum pump air in-
take 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.
