IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please note that the vacuum-sealing drawer is referred to as the drawer in these
operating instructions.
This drawer conforms to current safety requirements. Improper use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using the appliance for the first time. They contain important notes on installation, safety, use and maintenance.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage occurring as a result of non-compliance with these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owners.

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 experience with the appliance should not use it without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.
5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety with children
Children must be kept away from the drawer unless they are constantly supervised.
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 sealing bar and the seam have cooled sufficiently that there is no longer any danger of burning.
Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.
6
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Technical safety
Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and repairs 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 correctly.
Reliable and safe operation of the drawer can only be assured if it has been connected to the electrical supply.
Be certain the drawer is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, 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 line power 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 electrical supply with a power bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
7
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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).
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 technician will void the warranty.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.
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”).
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.
8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
If the drawer is installed behind a cabinet panel (e.g., a door), ensure 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.
9
IMPORTANT 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 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 chopping surface, or a shelf.
The drawer must be installed 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 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.
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.
10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never insert the tubes attached to the drawer into any body ori-
fices.
Cleaning and maintenance
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the drawer.
The steam may reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY
11
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing mate-
rial
The cardboard box and packing materials protect the appliance during shipping. 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. Danger 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 materials improperly by disposing of them in your household waste can be harmful to your health and the environment. Therefore, 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 ensure that your old appliance is kept away from children until removal. Observe safety requirements for appliances that may tip over or pose an entrapment hazard.
