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.

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 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).

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.

6

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

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.

Oven prepared meals

15 days*

(e.g. lasagne)

 

White/brown bread

5 days

Dark bread

7 days

Cheese

10-14 days

Cold cuts

7 days

III.After 6 days under vacuum conditions, vitamin C content is maintained 100%. Without vacuum storage, only up to 65% is maintained.

= vacuum storage

= standard storage

*To achieve this storage time, proceed as follows: Heat your meal well in the oven, let

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
