Cause and remedy
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 problem occurs again, contact the Miele Ser-
vice Department.
The required final vacuum could not be achieved.
Switch the drawer off and back on again.
Start the vacuuming process again with lower va-
cuum settings if necessary.
After intensive use of the drawer, the oil in the vacuum
pump has become extremely hot.
Leave the drawer to cool for an hour before start-
ing another vacuuming process.
When carrying out a number of consecutive vacu-
uming processes, wait for at least 2 minutes
between each process. This prevents the oil from
overheating again.
The glass lid is not sitting evenly. There is an object,
such as the edge of a bag or some soiling, on the sur-
face of the chamber seal.
Remove the obstruction and/or the soiling.
Close the glass lid and press it down lightly for ap-
prox. 5 seconds.
The chamber seal is not fitted correctly.
Press the chamber seal in all the way round to
make sure it is fitted evenly.
The chamber seal is damaged, e.g. cracks can be
seen.
Call the Miele Customer Service Department to
have it replaced.
