Problem
The seal was not strong
enough and has
opened.
The bag is not
maintaining the vacuum
although the weld seam
is intact.
Frequently Asked Questions
Possible cause and solution
The edge of the bag is dirty (inside and out). For a
perfect weld seam, the edge of the bag must be dry
and grease-free in the area of the seam.
 Fold the edges of the vacuum bag outwards for
filling. This will give you a clean weld seam.
The edge of the bag was not positioned smoothly
and without creases on the sealing bar.
 Position the edge of the bag smoothly and without
creases along the sealing bar.
The sealing level was too low.
 Start the vacuuming process again with a new
vacuum bag and select a higher sealing level if
required.
The rubber on the counterpressure bar is not evenly
fitted.
 Flatten the rubber.
The sealing bar and/or the counterpressure bar is
damaged.
 Call Miele Technical Service to have it replaced.
The vacuum bag has been damaged by sharp
pointed objects, e.g. pointed pasta shapes or a
bone.
 Start the vacuuming process again with a new
vacuum bag, on a lower vacuum level if necessary.
 Use an external container if possible.
