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.
5
Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
Children must be kept away from the drawer unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the drawer unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way and can recognise and understand the consequences of 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 sealing bar and the seam have cooled sufficiently that there is no longer any danger of burning.
Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and suffocate.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs 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 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 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 connecting 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.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
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 guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuine 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 electrical supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a special connection cable type H 05 VV-F (PVC insulated), available from Miele.
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.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the drawer must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions
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 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 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.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
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 va-
cuum sealing 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 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 to 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 on the jar and the glass lid on the drawer.

Warning and Safety instructions
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean the drawer.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
11
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also responsible (by law, depending on country) for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Operation
Important information on use
–Only vacuum seal food.
–Only use food that is fresh and in good condition.
–Ensure hygienic conditions and that food has not been out of the refrigerator too long, e.g. during transportation.
–Only vacuum seal food in suitable vacuum sealing bags, preserving jars and jars with twist-off lids (screw-top jars) or in vacuum-proof external containers.
We recommend that you use the vacuum sealing bags supplied (see "Optional accessories"). These are cold stable and boil-proof and therefore are suitable for storage in the refrigerator or freezer and for sous vide cooking of solid and liquid food.
–Only vacuum seal food that has cooled.
–Allow pre-cooked food to cool down at least to room temperature (approx. 20 °C) before vacuum sealing it.
Food that is not normally stored in the refrigerator, e.g. dried pasta or muesli can also be vacuum sealed at room temperature.
–If rinsing food with cold water, dry it before vacuum sealing to prevent water from collecting in the vacuum bag or container.
–Only vacuum seal food in bags of a maximum size of 250 x 350 mm (sealed edge bags) or 240 x 350 mm (tubular bags).
–Use boil proof bags if you want to cook food sous vide after vacuum sealing it.
–Select a suitable bag size for the size of the food. If the vacuum bag is too big, too much air can remain inside.
The bag can be cut to fit the size of the food.
–If you want to vacuum seal several types of food in one bag, place the food evenly side-by-side in the bag.
–Fill the vacuum bag to a maximum of ²/ with solid food or ¹/ with liquid.
–For a perfect weld seam make sure that the edge of the bag is dry and grease-free in the area of the seam.
–Position the open edge of the bag parallel to the sealing bar so that the edge protrudes over the sealing bar by approx. 2 cm.
–Take care not to cover the vacuum pump air intake valve with the bag.
–Vacuum sealing bags are for single use only.
–Place food that is suitable for cooling in the refrigerator or freezer after vacuum sealing it.
–When vacuum sealing food in preserving jars and jars with twist-off lids, make sure that the jars and the lids are clean and in good condition.
