Congratulations! You have purchased an

appliance that will help you maintain the

freshness and quality of your food for longer.

By extracting and keeping air out, the vacuum

pump creates vacuum conditions in rigid

containers. This food preservation system is

therefore perfect for retaining the freshness,

taste and quality of your food for longer.

About vacuum preservation

Oxygen is one of the main reasons why food

deteriorates. By causing a chemical change, it

reduces the nutritional value, level of vitamins,

texture, colour, flavour and overall quality of

the food. In vacuum conditions, the food

deterioration process is slowed down.

The Braun fresh system has been designed

to offer maximum flexibility to the user in the

preparation and preservation of food. The

system is therefore ideal for everyday use.

There are, however, a few general safeguards

that need to be followed to obtain the best

results.

Caution

Please read through the use instructions

carefully before using the appliance.

• Vacuum preservation is not a substitute for

food storage in the refrigerator or freezer.

Therefore, the recommended storage

times and especially temperatures for the

respective food types need to be strictly

observed. We further recommend a

storage temperature of between -1 and

+7 °C (ba

sed on the recommendations of

the BfR – Federal Institute for Risk

Assessment, Germany) for perishable

food. This can be achieved by storing the

food in the special cool compartments

of the refrigerator.

• Do not use the vacuumiser to store fresh

fish, seafood products or minced meat in

the refrigerator. In general, these types of

food should only be stored in the freezer.

• Always allow food to cool down to room

temperature (below 40 °C) before applying

the vacuum (to prevent a vacuum boiling

effect).

• Household vacuum food storage cannot

be compared with industrial vacuum food

packaging. It is not possible to achieve the

same kind of pre-treatment and micro-

biological quality in the home.

• Never preserve whipped food (e.g. whipped

cream, beaten egg white, desserts, cream

etc.) in vacuum conditions. This kind of food

is likely to expand due to the vacuum, might

enter the vacuum pump and damage it.

• The lids of the FreshWare containers are

not microwave-proof and not oven-proof.

Tips and tricks

• The combination of Braun FreshWare and

the vacuum pump will make it possible

to marinate such foods as beef in hours

instead of days. For best results, pour

marinade over the meat, then create a

vacuum and release it right away. Repeat

this procedure twice more and let the beef

marinate without vacuum for three hours.

• Food such as rice, lentils, cereals and flour

which are not preserved in the refrigerator

can eventually become stale or spoiled. In

vacuum conditions, this risk is significantly

diminished with longer and better storage

life as a consequence.

• The vacuum process extracts humidity

from the containers. Dry food such as

crackers, biscuits, cornflakes, dried fruits

and nuts will therefore stay crispy and

fresh for longer in a vacuum condition.

Fats in these foods will be protected

thanks to the reduction of oxygen inside

the container.

• Avoid opening vacuum-sealed containers

too often since this will reduce the durability

of the food inside. You will obtain the best

benefits from vacuum preservation if you

vacuumise a large quantity of e.g. cold

cuts which you are not intending to con-

sume within the next few days.

How to use your vacuum system

1. Attach the pump cover (E) to the vacuum

pump (D) and insert the motor part (A) into

the vacuum pump until it locks.

2. Place the lid (G) on the FreshWare con-

tainer and close the valve lid (H).

3. Place the vacuum pump into the pump

coupling (I). The vacuum indicator (K) is

fully expanded, signalling that there is no

vacuum inside the container.

4. Plug in the appliance, press firmly on the lid

and operate the on/off switch (B) in order

to create vacuum conditions. The longer

you press the switch, the more the vacuum

indicator retracts. A full vacuum has been

created when the vacuum indicator is

completely below the valve lid surface.

Keep the pump working for a few more

seconds for optimum vacuum conditions.

5. In order to release the vacuum, simply

open the valve lid. Upon opening, the

freshness sound will be heard and the

vacuum indicator will move up.

6. To remove the vacuum pump from the

motor part, press the release buttons (C)

and pull off.

Please note:

• In the unlikely case that a vacuum is

created, but then gets lost within a short

period of time, ensure that all parts are

clean.

• Do not fill a container more than 10 mm

below the brim. For storage in the freezer,

please assure that the big containers are

not filled more than 20 mm below the brim.

• Before using the containers in an oven or

microwave, make sure you remove both

the lid (G) as well as the tray (N).

• The tray (N) is designed to protect food

from exuded liquids during storage.

Liquids will flow under the tray avoiding

contact with the food.
