Note! If the Dry Run Function does not completely remove the moisture from the oil after a maximum of 20 minutes, then the drawer switches to a ‘cool off’ setting. The vacuum drawer can then not be used for a period of one hour. The Dry Run Function indicator is visible in the display. After that, start the Dry Run Function again!
****Regular use of the Dry Run Function is part of the normal operation of the vacuum drawer.
