Warnings and safety instructions
3
Please note that the vacuum sealing drawer is referred to in these operating
instructions as the drawer.
This drawer complies with all current local and national safety
requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal
injury and damage to property.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before
using the drawer. They contain important notes on the installation,
safety, operation and maintenance of the appliance. This prevents
both personal injury and damage to the drawer.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any
future owner of the appliance.
Warnings and safety instructions
4
Appropriate use
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 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. They must be able to
recognize and understand the possible consequences of incorrect
operation.
Warnings and safety instructions
5
Safety with children
Children under the age of 8years must be kept away from the
drawer unless they are constantly supervised.
Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the drawer. Never
allow children to play with the drawer.
The sealing bar gets hot during operation. The weld seam of the
vacuum bag is also heated to a very high temperature during the
sealing process. Keep children well away from the drawer until the
sealing bar and weld seam have cooled sufficiently so that there is
no longer any danger of burning.
Danger of suffocation. While playing, children may become
entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it
over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material
away from children.
Warnings and safety instructions
6
Technical safety
Installation, maintenance and repair work should only be
performed by a Miele authorized service technician. Installation,
maintenance and repair work by unqualified persons can cause
considerable danger to users.
Damage to the drawer can compromise your safety. Check the
appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not use the appliance if it
is damaged.
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 pump 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 domestic electrical supply.
The electrical safety of the drawer can only be guaranteed when
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 most
important that this basic safety requirement is fulfilled. If in doubt,
the electrical installation should be checked by a qualified
electrician.
The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the drawer must match the domestic electricity supply in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the drawer. Compare this data before
connecting the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any
doubt.
Warnings and safety instructions
7
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, this drawer may only be used when it has
been fully installed.
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (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 drawer housing 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.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance if genuine
Miele spare parts are used. Defective components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele spare parts.
If the plug has been removed or the power cord is not supplied
with a plug, the drawer must be connected to the domestic
electricity 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 the vacuum sealing process, the
vacuum in the chamber is retained and the glass lid cannot be
opened. Do not in any circumstances try to force the glass lid open
or use tools to open it. Once power is restored, you can open the
glass lid.
Warnings and safety instructions
8
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the drawer must
be completely disconnected from the domestic electricity supply. It
is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
- the circuit breakers have been switched off, or
- the screw-type fuses have been fully unscrewed or
- the plug (if present) is removed from the outlet. To do this, be sure
to pull the plug not the power cord.
If the drawer is installed behind a furniture front (e.g. a door) do
not close the door while the drawer is in use. Heat and moisture can
build up behind the closed door. This can result in damage to the
drawer, housing unit and floor. Leave the furniture front/door open
until the sealing bar and drawer have cooled down completely.
Warnings and safety instructions
9
Correct use
Danger of burning. The sealing bar gets hot during operation. The
weld seam of the vacuum 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 33 lb
(15kg). Overloading or leaning or sitting on the drawer when opened
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 installed so that it can be pulled out
completely and there is sufficient room to open the glass lid. This is
the only way to look inside the vacuum chamber and avoid burns
from touching the hot sealing bar and weld seam.
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. Do not use the
drawer to store food or drinks.
Miele does not permit vacuum sealing of glass containers.
Warnings and safety instructions
10
Never insert the tubes attached to the drawer into any body
orifices.
Cleaning and care
Danger of electric shock. The steam from a steam cleaning
appliance could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the drawer.
