Possible cause and solution
When vacuum-sealing food, moisture got into the oil-
circulation system in the vacuum pump. When the
 sensor control lights up red, the drawer is locked
and cannot be used again.
 Carry out a drying cycle (see "Cleaning and care –
Carrying out a drying cycle").
The oil in the vacuum pump has become extremely
hot.
 Clean the drawer and leave it to cool down for
1 hour before starting another vacuuming process.
 When carrying out a number of consecutive vacu-
uming processes, wait a minimum of 2 minutes
between each process to prevent the oil from
overheating again.
 If the fault occurs again, contact Miele Technical
Service.
The required final vacuum could not be achieved.
 Switch the drawer off and back on again.
 Start the vacuum-sealing process again with a
lower vacuum setting if necessary.
After intensive use of the drawer, the oil in the vac-
uum pump has become extremely hot.
 Allow the drawer to cool for 1 h before starting an-
other vacuum-sealing process.
 When carrying out a number of consecutive vac-
uum-sealing processes, wait for a minimum of
2 minutes between each process. This prevents
the oil from overheating again.
