Cause and remedy
During the food evacuation process, moisture ingress
into the oil circulation system in the vacuum pump
has occurred. If the sensor lights up red, the
drawer is locked for further use.
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
vacuuming processes, wait a minimum of
2 minutes between each process to prevent the oil
from overheating again.
If the problem occurs again, contact your Miele
dealer.
The required final vacuum could not be achieved.
Switch the drawer off and back on again.
Start the vacuuming process again with lower
vacuum 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
starting another vacuuming process.
When carrying out a number of consecutive
vacuuming processes, wait for at least 2 minutes
between each process. This prevents the oil from
overheating again.
