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 createsvacuum conditionsin rigid
containers. Thisfood preservation system is
therefore perfect for retaining the freshness,
taste and quality of your food for longer.
About vacuum preservation
Oxygen isone of the main reasonswhy food
deteriorates. By causing a chemical change, it
reducesthe nutritional value, level of vitamins,
texture, colour, flavour and overall quality of
the food. In vacuum conditions, the food
deterioration process isslowed down.
The Braun fresh system hasbeen designed
to offer maximum flexibility to the user in the
preparation and preservation of food. The
system istherefore 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 isnot a substitute for
food storage in the refrigerator or freezer.
Therefore, the recommended storage
timesand especially temperaturesfor the
respective food typesneed to be strictly
observed. We further recommend a
storage temperature of between -1 and
+7 °C (based on the recommendationsof
the BfR – Federal Institute for Risk
Assessment, Germany) for perishable
food. Thiscan be achieved by storing the
food in the special cool compartments
of the refrigerator.
• Do not use the vacuumiser to store fresh
fish, seafood productsor minced meat in
the refrigerator. In general, these typesof
food should only be stored in the freezer.
• Alwaysallow 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 isnot 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. Thiskind of food
islikely to expand due to the vacuum, might
enter the vacuum pump and damage it.
• The lidsof the FreshWare containersare
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 foodsasbeef in hours
instead of days. For best results, pour
marinade over the meat, then create a
vacuum and release it right away. Repeat
thisprocedure twice more and let the beef
marinate without vacuum for three hours.
• Food such asrice, lentils, cerealsand flour
which are not preserved in the refrigerator
can eventually become stale or spoiled. In
vacuum conditions, thisrisk issignificantly
diminished with longer and better storage
life asa consequence.
• The vacuum process extractshumidity
from the containers. Dry food such as
crackers, biscuits, cornflakes, dried fruits
and nutswill therefore stay crispy and
fresh for longer in a vacuum condition.
Fatsin these foodswill be protected
thanks to the reduction of oxygen inside
the container.
• Avoid opening vacuum-sealed containers
too often since thiswill reduce the durability
of the food inside. You will obtain the best
benefitsfrom vacuum preservation if you
vacuumise a large quantity of e.g. cold
cutswhich 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 isno
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 hasbeen
created when the vacuum indicator is
completely below the valve lid surface.
Keep the pump working for a few more
secondsfor 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 getslost within a short
period of time, ensure that all partsare
clean.
• Do not fill a container more than 10 mm
below the brim. For storage in the freezer,
please assure that the big containersare
not filled more than 20 mm below the brim.
• Before using the containersin an oven or
microwave, make sure you remove both
the lid (G) aswell asthe tray (N).
• The tray (N) isdesigned to protect food
from exuded liquidsduring storage.
Liquidswill flow under the tray avoiding
contact with the food.

• Raw meat will become darker under
vacuum conditions. After a few minutesin
contact with air again, it will partly recover
itsnatural colour. Asthisisa normal
process, there will be no impact on the
quality of the food.
• During storage, vacuum conditionsare
acceptable aslong asthe vacuum
indicator staysin line with the valve lid
surface.
What to do if vacuum cannot be
generated
•Ensure all partsare 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 partsare clean and the vacuum still
cannot be generated, press firmly on the
lid (G) to make sure that it iscompletely
closed.
• Thanks to a protection system in the pump
cover, the vacuum pump will only workif it is
inserted in the pump coupling.
Benefits of the Braun fresh system
(validated by Fraunhofer Institute, Germany)
Refersto storage in a refrigerator: between
-1 and +7 °C
I. Fresh food iskept fresh for longer.
II. A significant benefit of the fresh system
isthat the taste and freshness of food or
prepared mealscan be sealed inside the
container, maintaining current texture and
especially taste up to the storage times
listed below.
Oven prepared meals15 days*
(e.g. lasagne)
White/brown bread 5 days
Darkbread 7 days
Cheese 10-14 days
Cold cuts7 days
III. After 6 daysunder vacuum conditions,
vitamin C content ismaintained 100%.
Without vacuum storage, only up to 65%
ismaintained.
* To achieve thisstorage 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 partsthoroughly.
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 partscan be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Remove the valve lid (H), lid seal (M) and valve
seal (L) to clean them separately in the dish-
washer 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.
