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
•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
I. Fresh food is kept fresh for longer.
Storage | Standard | Vacuum |
| (days) | (days) |

(e.g. peppers, |
|
|
courgettes) |

Fresh fruit | 3 | 10 |
(e.g. fruit salad) |
|
|

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 | |
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.
Vitamin C content |
after 6 days |
100% |
65% |
= 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.
