Only load the storage compartment with maximum 33 lb (15 kg). Opening the storage compartment Open the drawer. Reach behind the recess in the front of the vacuum-sealing compartment from below and push the vacuumsealing compartment back completely. Closing the storage compartment Close the drawer.
Operation Suitable vacuum-sealing bags Only vacuum-sealing bags meeting the following material requirements are permitted for use: Important usage information Miele does not permit vacuum sealing of glass containers. - suitable for use with food - Only vacuum seal food. - suitable for freezing and cooking - Only use food that is fresh and in good condition.
Operation - 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-sealing bag to a maximum of ²/₃ with solid food or ¹/₃ 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. 3/4" (2 cm).
Operation Tips - Freeze liquids before vacuum sealing them. You can then fill the vacuumsealing bags ²/₃ full. - Fold the edges of the vacuum-sealing bag outward for filling. This will give you clean, perfect seams. - If you are unsure whether food such as berries or chips will lose its shape during vacuum sealing, start with the lowest vacuum setting.
Operation Using the vacuum settings There are 3 settings for vacuum sealing. The higher the vacuum setting selected, the greater the vacuum. Vacuum setting Intended use Packaging, portioning, and storing Suitable for - food that is prone to squashing, e.g., lettuce, berries, or chips - single-use jars and jars with twist-off lids (screw-cap lids) with liquid contents, e.g.
Operation Using the sealing levels There are 3 levels for sealing vacuumsealing bags. The choice of sealing level depends on the material thickness of the bag: the thicker the bag, the higher the sealing level. Level 3 is recommended for bags with a thickness of 0.003" (90 µm). Tip: The sealing bar will get progressively hotter when carrying out a number of consecutive vacuuming processes. You can use a lower sealing level after sealing a few bags.
Operation Danger of injury caused by implosion. Damage to the glass lid can cause implosion. Do not under any circumstances use the drawer if the glass lid is damaged. Malfunction can occur due to dirty and/or covered sensor buttons. The sensor buttons do not react or unintentional switching procedures result, perhaps even the automatic deactivation of the drawer. Keep the sensor buttons and indicators clean. Do not place anything over the sensor buttons or indicators. Damage caused by liquids.
Operation Vacuuming and sealing bags Fill the vacuum-sealing bag. Open the drawer and the glass lid. Place the vacuum-sealing bag in the vacuum chamber so that the open end of the bag lies across the sealing bar. Ensure that the edge of the bag is positioned centrally and creasefree on the sealing bar. If a bag is too small and slips into the vacuum chamber, place the vacuumsealing bag support underneath. Switch the drawer on with the On/ Off sensor control.
Operation After the vacuum-sealing process Sealing the bag early A signal sounds. You can end the vacuum-sealing process before reaching the selected vacuum setting and seal the bag early. Open the glass lid. Danger of burning due to hot surfaces. The sealing bar and weld seam are hot. Do not touch the sealing bar or the weld seam immediately after the vacuum-sealing process. Remove the vacuum-sealing bag from the vacuum chamber.
Operation Danger of injury caused by implosion. External glass containers can implode during vacuum sealing. Only vacuum seal vacuum-proof containers made of plastic or stainless steel. Vacuuming sealing external containers The process for vacuum sealing a con® tainer from the caso vacuum-sealing container set is described below. ® We recommend caso vacuum-sealing container sets if you wish to use external containers. These containers can be connected to the drawer using the vacuum adapter supplied.
Operation Place the lid on the container and press it down. Open the drawer and the glass lid. The vacuum-sealing process will start. The Start sensor control goes out and the Stop sensor control lights up.

Attach the connector to the container lid. Make sure that the closure of the lid is turned to “SEAL” (closed).
Operation After the vacuum-sealing process A signal sounds. Detach the connector from the container lid. Make sure that the closure of the lid is still turned to “SEAL” (closed). Remove the vacuum adapter from the vacuum pump air-intake valve. Before starting a new vacuum-sealing process, check that the vacuum adapter, the tube, and the vacuum chamber are clean and dry. Remove any soiling or liquid residues if necessary.
Operation After use Switch off the drawer with the On/ Off sensor control. Clean and dry the drawer and any accessories as described in “Cleaning and care”. Do not close the glass lid until the vacuum chamber is completely dry. Close the drawer. The last vacuum-sealing setting selected is automatically activated the next time the drawer is switched on, and this is shown in the control field. Canceling a vacuum-sealing process You can cancel a vacuum-sealing process at any time, e.g.
Cleaning and care Risk of injury due to electric Switch the drawer off to clean it. shock. The steam from a steam cleaner could reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the drawer. The drawer and accessories should be cleaned and dried thoroughly after each use. Danger of burning due to hot surfaces. The sealing bar is hot straight after a vacuum-sealing process. Allow the sealing bar to cool down before cleaning it.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the drawer front and glass lid Cleaning the vacuum adapter Remove soiling and fingerprints with a standard domestic glass cleaner or with a clean, damp microfiber cloth. Clean the vacuum adapter with a clean sponge and a solution of hot water and liquid dish soap or a clean, damp microfiber cloth. After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth. Then dry the vacuum adapter with a cloth. Cleaning the vacuum chamber and sealing bar Damage caused by liquids.
Cleaning and care Carrying out a drying cycle When food is vacuum sealed, moisture gets into the oil-circulation system in the vacuum pump. To remove the moisture, it is necessary to run a drying cycle after a particular operating time. The sensor control on the control field of the drawer lights up yellow when a drying cycle needs to be carried out. The sensor control lights up yellow and you can still run another 10 vacuumsealing processes.
Frequently Asked Questions With the help of the following guide minor faults in the performance of the machine, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remedied without contacting the Service Department.
