Operation Suitable vacuum bags Only vacuum bags meeting the following material requirements are permitted for use: Important information on use 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 – Fill the vacuum 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). – Take care not to cover the vacuum pump air intake valve with the bag. – Vacuum bags are for single use only.
Operation Using the vacuum levels There are 3 levels for vacuum sealing. The higher the vacuum level selected, the greater the vacuum. Vacuum level Intended use Packaging, portioning, and storing Suitable for – Food that is prone to squashing, e.g., lettuce, berries, or chips Marinating, tenderizing, sous-vide cooking, and freezing Suitable for – Food that is prone to squashing, e.g., tender fish fillets – Sauces and food with a high liquid content (≥ 1.8 ox (50 g)), e.g.
Operation Using the sealing levels There are 3 levels for sealing vacuum bags. The choice of sealing level depends on the material thickness of the bag: the thicker the bag, the higher the sealing level. 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 Risk of injury! Vacuuming and sealing bags Damage to the glass lid can cause implosion. Do not under any circumstances use the drawer if the glass lid is damaged. Fill the vacuum-sealing bag. Soiling and liquid must not be allowed to get on the sensors. Otherwise, the sensors will fail to react or switch on or off unintentionally. Do not damage the drawer! If liquid gets into the vacuum pump air intake valve during a vacuuming process, this can result in damage to the vacuum pump.
Operation After the vacuuming process Sealing the bag early An acoustic tone will sound. You can end the vacuuming process before reaching the selected vacuuming level and seal the bag early. Open the glass lid. Danger of burning! The sealing bar and weld seam are hot. Do not touch the sealing bar or the weld seam immediately after the vacuuming process. Remove the vacuum-sealing bag from the vacuum chamber.
Operation Risk of injury! Third-party glass containers can implode during vacuuming. Only use vacuum-proof containers made of plastic or stainless steel. Vacuum-sealing third-party containers The process for vacuuming a container ® from the caso vacuum container set is described below. ® We recommend caso container sets if you wish to use third-party 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. If an excessive amount of bubbles form, you can cancel the vacuuming process by pressing the sensor (see “Canceling a vacuuming process”). After the vacuuming process An acoustic tone will sound. 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.
Operation After use Touch the sensor to switch the drawer off. 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 and sealing level selected is automatically activated the next time the drawer is switched on, and this is shown in the display. Canceling a vacuuming process You can cancel a vacuuming process at any time, e.g.
Cleaning and care Risk of injury! The steam from a steam cleaner could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the drawer. The use of unsuitable cleaning agents can cause the surfaces to discolor or alter. Only use cleaning agents designed for domestic use. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Scratches on glass surfaces could cause a breakage in certain circumstances. Remove any residual cleaning agent immediately.
Cleaning and care If soiling is left on for any length of time, it may become impossible to remove. Surfaces may suffer discoloration or damage. Soiling is best removed after each use. Cleaning the drawer front and glass lid Cleaning the vacuum adapter Clean the vacuum adapter with a clean sponge and a solution of hot water and liquid dish soap or a clean, damp microfiber cloth. Then dry the vacuum adapter thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use the vacuum adapter again until it is completely dry.
Cleaning and care Completing a drying cycle When food is vacuumed, 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 period. The sensor on the control panel of the drawer lights up yellow when a drying cycle needs to be carried out. You can still run another 10 vacuuming processes after it lights up for the first time. After that, the sensor lights up red and a drying cycle must be carried out.
