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 experi-
ence with the appliance should not use it without supervision or in-
struction by a responsible person.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6
Safety with children
Do not leave children unattended: Children should not be alone or
unsupervised in the area where the appliance is installed. Do not al-
low them to sit or stand on the appliance.
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 seal-
ing bar and the seam have cooled sufficiently that there is no longer
any danger of burning.
Danger of suffocation. While playing, children may become entan-
gled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over
their head, presenting the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging mate-
rial away from children.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7
Technical safety
Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been in-
stalled correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified techni-
cian.
Maintenance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so.
Service work should only be performed by a qualified technician.
Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and re-
pairs 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 cor-
rectly.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-
ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronized with
the grid power supply (e.g., island networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply sys-
tem complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an equivalent
standard.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronized with the grid power supply, or these measures must be
replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described, for
example, in the current version of VDE-AR-E 2510-2.
Be certain the drawer is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appli-
ance, 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 domestic electrical supply in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the drawer.
Compare this data before connecting the appliance. If in any doubt,
consult a 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.
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).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
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 techni-
cian will void the warranty.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can safety of the appliance be assured as
intended by the manufacturer.
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” under “Installation”).
If power is interrupted during vacuum-sealing, the vacuum in the
chamber is retained and the glass lid cannot be opened. Do not un-
der 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 re-
stored.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
If the drawer is installed behind a cabinet panel (e.g., a door), en-
sure 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
Correct use
Storage in the appliance: Flammable materials should not be
stored in the drawer.
Danger of burning. The sealing bar gets 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 weld seam immediately after the vacuum-sealing process.
Risk of fire. 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
55lbs (15kg). 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 chop-
ping surface, or a shelf.
The drawer must be installed so that it can be pulled out com-
pletely and there is sufficient room to open the glass lid. This en-
sures 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
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.
Never insert the tubes attached to the drawer into any body ori-
fices.
Vacuum sealing single-use jars and jars with twist-off lids in the closed vac-
uum 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 vacuum-sealing
process causes the vacuum chamber and the glass lid on the drawer
to distort slightly. Do not let single-use jars or jars with twist-off lids
touch the drawer’s glass lid during the vacuum-sealing process as
this can cause damage to the protective coating on the glass lid and
cause it to implode.
Only vacuum seal single-use jars and jars with twist-off lids up to a
maximum height of 3" (8cm) in order to maintain a safety gap of at
least 1cm between the lid of the jar and the glass lid of the drawer.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
Cleaning and maintenance
Danger of electric shock. The steam from a steam cleaner could
reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit. Never use
a steam cleaner for cleaning.
Caring for the environment
14
Disposal of the packing mate-
rial
The cardboard box and packing materi-
als protect the appliance during ship-
ping. 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. Dan-
ger 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 mate-
rials improperly by disposing of them in
your household waste can be harmful to
your health and the environment. There-
fore, 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 en-
sure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal. Ob-
serve safety requirements for appli-
ances that may tip over or pose an en-
trapment hazard.

Suitable vacuum-sealing bags
Only vacuum-sealing bags meeting the
following material requirements are per-
mitted for use:
- suitable for use with food
- suitable for freezing and cooking
- suitable for storing and sous-vide
cooking of liquid and solid food
- maximum size:
97/16"x133/4" (240x350mm)
(tubular bags)/
133/4" (350mm) (sealed edge bags)
- properties: preferably smooth
- made from PA/PE, not printed on the
inside
- thickness: 0.003" (90µm), typical
- suitable for vacuum sealing
<10mBar
- suitable for hot-foil sealing
- no migration of hazardous materials
or chemicals, e.g.,plasticizers, into
the food being vacuum sealed
Important usage information
Miele does not permit vacuum seal-
ing of glass containers.
- 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 refriger-
ator too long.
- Only vacuum seal food in suitable
vacuum bags or in vacuum-proof ex-
ternal containers.
- Only vacuum seal food that has
cooled.
- Allow pre-cooked and broiled food to
cool down at least to room tempera-
ture (approx. 68°F (20°C)) before vac-
uum sealing it.
Food that is not normally stored in
the refrigerator, such as dried pasta
or oatmeal, can also be vacuum
sealed at room temperature.
- If rinsing food with cold water, dry it
before vacuum sealing to prevent wa-
ter from collecting in the vacuum-
sealing bag or container.
- Only vacuum seal food in bags of a
maximum size of 8 3/4" x 13
3/4" (250x350mm (sealed edge
bags)) or 9 1/2" x 13
3/4" (240x350mm (tubular bags)).
- Select a suitable bag size for the size
of the food. If the vacuum-sealing
bag is too big, too much air can re-
main inside. The bag can be cut to fit
the size of the food.
Operation
22
- 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 max-
imum 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" (2cm).
- 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 vac-
uum sealing it.
Operation
23
Tips
- Freeze liquids before vacuum sealing
them. You can then fill the vacuum-
sealing 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
24
Using the vacuum settings
There are 3settings 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., stock or pickled vegetables
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(>50g), e.g.,ragout,
curry

more solid or dry contents, e.g.,jam, pesto, or cake
Sous-vide cooking, freezing, and storage
Suitable for
- meat and more solid food, e.g.,potatoes, carrots
- hard cheese (storage)
- food with a low liquid content (≤50g), such as meat seasoned
with a herb oil
Operation
25
Using the sealing levels
There are 3levels for sealing vacuum-
sealing bags.
The choice of sealing level depends on
the material thickness of the bag: the
thicker the bag, the higher the sealing
level.
Level3 is recommended for bags with a
thickness of 0.003" (90µm).
Tip: The sealing bar will get progres-
sively hotter when carrying out a num-
ber of consecutive vacuuming pro-
cesses. You can use a lower sealing
level after sealing a few bags.
Operation
26
Danger of injury caused by im-
plosion.
Damage to the glass lid can cause
implosion.
Do not under any circumstances use
the drawer if the glass lid is dam-
aged.
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 indica-
tors clean.
Do not place anything over the sen-
sor buttons or indicators.
Damage caused by liquids.
Liquid getting into the vacuum pump
air-intake valve during a vacuum-
sealing process can result in damage
to the vacuum pump.
Fill the vacuum-sealing bag with liq-
uid to a maximum of ¹/₃.
Operation
27
Vacuuming and sealing bags
Fill the vacuum-sealing bag.
Open the drawer and the glass lid.

The following occurrences during the
vacuum-sealing process are normal
and do not indicate a functional or ap-
pliance fault:
- The bag inflates, before enveloping
the food being vacuum sealed.
- Bubbles form in the liquid, creating
the impression that it is boiling.
If you notice during the vacuum-seal-
ing process that liquids are threaten-
ing to boil over, you can end the
process and seal the bag early (see
“Operation – Sealing the bag early”).
Operation
28

Cleaning and care
33
Risk of injury due to electric
shock.
The steam from a steam cleaner
could reach live electrical compo-
nents and cause a short circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the drawer.
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.
All surfaces could become discol-
ored or damaged if unsuitable clean-
ing agents are used. Only use com-
mon household liquid dish soap to
clean the appliance.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Scratches on glass can
lead to breakage in some circum-
stances.
Remove any residual cleaning agent
immediately.
If soiling is allowed to sit for any
length of time, it may become im-
possible to remove.
Surfaces may become discolored or
damaged.
It is therefore best to remove any
soiling immediately.
Switch the drawer off to clean it.
The drawer and accessories should
be cleaned and dried thoroughly after
each use.
Do not close the glass lid until the
vacuum chamber is completely dry.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of the
appliance, do not use:
- cleaning agents containing soda, am-
monia, acids, or chloride
- cleaning agents containing limescale
remover
- abrasive cleaning agents, such as
scouring powder, scouring liquid, or
pumice stones
- cleaning agents containing solvents
- stainless-steel cleaners
- cleaning agents for ceramic-glass
cooktops
- dishwasher cleaning agents
- oven cleaners or sprays
- hard, abrasive sponges and brushes,
such as pot scrubbers
- sharp metal scrapers
Cleaning and care

Cleaning the drawer front and
glass lid
Remove soiling and fingerprints with
a standard domestic glass cleaner or
with a clean, damp microfiber cloth.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.
Cleaning the vacuum chamber
and sealing bar
Damage caused by liquids.
Liquid getting into the vacuum pump
air-intake valve can result in damage
to the vacuum pump.
Take care that liquids do not get into
the air-intake valve.
Tip: To make cleaning easier, the seal-
ing bar can be lifted out.
Remove soiling immediately using a
solution of hot water and liquid dish
soap applied with a clean sponge or
use a clean, damp microfiber cloth.
Remove any residual cleaning agent
with some clean water.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.
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 with a
cloth.
Do not use the vacuum adapter again
until it is completely dry.
Cleaning the vacuum-sealing
bag support
Clean the vacuum-sealing bag sup-
port with a clean sponge cloth, liquid
dish soap, and warm water or with a
clean, damp microfiber cloth.
Then dry the vacuum-sealing bag
support using a cloth.
Do not use the vacuum-sealing bag
support again until it is completely
dry.
Cleaning and care
35
Carrying out a drying cycle
When food is vacuum sealed, moisture
gets into the oil-circulation system in
the vacuum pump. To remove the mois-
ture, it is necessary to run a drying cy-
cle 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 10vacuum-
sealing processes. When the sensor
control lights up red, the drying cycle
must be carried out. The drawer will
lock after this point and cannot be used
again.
We recommend carrying out a drying
cycle before the drawer locks out.
The whole drying cycle lasts for a maxi-
mum of 20minutes.
The vacuum chamber must be free
from objects and liquid residues
when carrying out the drying cycle.
Clean and dry the vacuum chamber
as necessary.
Touch the sensor control.
Close the glass lid.
The drying cycle starts. The sensor
control will flash yellow throughout the
entire process.
You can cancel the drying cycle with
the sensor control. If a drying cy-
cle is canceled, it must be repeated
after the remaining vacuum-sealing
processes have elapsed or when the
drawer is switched on again.
When the drying cycle has finished, a
signal sounds and the sensor control
goes out. You can now use the drawer
again as usual.
The last selected vacuum setting and
sealing level are displayed on the con-
trol field.

Installation
The drawer has an integrated vac-
uum 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 edge.
Preparing the drawer
For safe transportation, the vacuum
pump is provided with a transit restraint
which must be removed before the
drawer is installed. The air filter supplied
must be installed in place of the transit
restraint.
There are also 2safety screws on the
back of the drawer to prevent the
drawer from being opened unintention-
ally during transportation and when it is
being removed from the packaging.
Install the air filter before installing
the drawer and remove the safety
screws at the back.
Otherwise the drawer cannot be op-
erated and has to be taken out of the
housing unit.
Keep the transit restraint and safety
screws in case the drawer is trans-
ported again.
The transit restraint can be secured
to the back of the drawer.
Installing the air filter and removing
the safety screws
Slide the cover to the right and re-
move it.
Pull the red transit restraint up and
out using, e.g., universal pliers.

drawer will sit is clean and level (use
a level). This is important for the ap-
pliance to function correctly.
Installing the anti-tipping mechanism
Measure the distance to the right and
left-hand side walls of the housing
unit (see illustration).
Mark the uppermost position in the
long slot of the anti-tipping mecha-
nism. Make sure that the anti-tip-
ping mechanism is flush with the
base of the housing unit.
