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.

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

*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 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.
