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 (based 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 microbiological quality in the home.
• Never preserve air-prepared food (e.g.
desserts, cream, whipped egg white,
nitrogen-based soft cheese 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 your FreshWare containers are
not microwave-proof.
• 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 consume 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 container 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 (MR 5550) or turn (MR 4050).
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.

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.
• Raw meat will become darker under
vacuum conditions. After a few minutes in
contact with air again, it will partly recover
its natural colour. As this is a normal
process, there will be no impact on the
quality of the food.
• During storage, vacuum conditions are
acceptable as long as the vacuum
indicator stays in line with the valve lid
surface.
What to do if vacuum cannot be
generated
• Ensure all parts are clean. The sealing
elements (valve and lid seal) and the lid
especially have to be completely free from
dust, fluff or food particles. Rinse them under
water and let them air-dry.
• If all parts are clean and the vacuum still
cannot be generated, press firmly on the
lid (G) to make sure that it is completely
closed.
• Thanks to a protection system in the pump
cover, the vacuum pump will only work if it is
inserted in the pump coupling.
Benefits of the Braun fresh system
(validated by Fraunhofer Institute, Germany)
Refers to storage in a refrigerator: between
-1 and +7 °C
I. Fresh food is kept fresh for longer.
Storage Standard
(days)
Fresh vegetables,
sliced
(e.g. peppers,
courgettes)
Fresh fruit
(e.g. fruit salad)
Dips
(e.g. guacamole)
Crisps
(e.g. tortilla/potato
chips)
II. A significant benefit of the fresh system
is that the taste and freshness of food or
prepared meals can be sealed inside the
container, maintaining current texture and
especially taste up to the storage times
listed below.

it cool down below 40 °C and vacuumise it
without adding or removing anything.
Cleaning
Before you use the Braun fresh system for the
first time, rinse all parts thoroughly.
Clean the motor part (A) and the vacuum
pump (D) with a damp cloth only. Do not hold
the motor part nor the vacuum pump under
running water, nor immerse them in water. All
other parts can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Remove the valve lid (H), lid seal (M) and valve
seal (L) to clean them separately in the dishwasher or rinse them under water and let them
air-dry. To remove the valve lid (H) completely,
lift and pull out.
Be careful not to use excessive detergent or
descaler in your dishwasher.
About FreshWare
The stackable FreshWare containers are
made from hardened borosilicate glass and
are microwave, oven, freezer and dishwasher
safe. Therefore, they can be used for food
preservation as well as reheating and serving.
Your starter set includes two of the four
FreshWare sizes available:
• 3.1 l rectangular container: Ideal for the
preparation of food for your family and
friends. Can be used as a serving dish and
to store larger quantities of food.
• 0.9 l rectangular container: Ideal for food
preparation in smaller quantities and for
the preservation of leftovers as well as cold
cuts and hard cheese.
We also offer the following round FreshWare
containers:
• 1.2 l: Ideal for the storage of dry food such
as muesli, flour, cornflakes, biscuits, dried
fruit etc.
• 0.6 l: Ideal for the storage of food such as
spices, sauces, dips, biscuits, dried fruit
etc.
The entire FreshWare range is available from
all good stockists of Braun appliances or from
Braun Service Centres (not available in all
countries).
Subject to change without notice.
