9.Take it out of the refrigerator and turn the knob clockwise to the CLOSE position to avoid accidental opening (see figure A). The absence of air inside the container is indicated by the valve at the bottom (see figure D).

10.To open the container, turn the knob anticlockwise to the OPEN position (see figure A): this will allow air to enter the container and make it easy to open. The valve will move upwards as air enters the container (see figure E).

damage on any part of the container.

• The container valve has a built-in security system. If,

after you have created a vacuum, the valve moves

upward within three days, check the lid has been put on

the container properly and/or that the container is intact.

Check the storage status of the food before repeating

the vacuum storage operation. See Activating and

deactivating Ever Fresh.

• The containers were designed to come into direct

contact with food.

• Do not use the containers for any type of cooking (in

the microwave or oven, on an electric plate, over a

flame, etc.).

• Do not put the containers in the freezer.

Vacuum storage

!The lid of the container is provided with a circular valve. When the valve is low (figure D) there is no air inside the container. When the valve is high (figure E) air is present inside the container.

!If, after you have created a vacuum (instructions

1-9), the valve moves upward (see figure E) within three days, check the lid has been put on the container properly and/or that the container is intact. Check the storage status of the food before repeating the vacuum storage operation.

!If the system does not work as it should or if the pump remains in operation for greater amount of time than is normal, the Ever Fresh function is deactivated and the Ever Fresh LED begins to flash. Malfunction is also signalled by an alarm buzzer.

To exit the alarm status and restore normal operation of the EVER FRESH function, after checking the status of the system and the position of the containers, press the corresponding button on the display to switch off the Ever Fresh LED. It will now be possible to reactivate the function. The Ever Fresh function is deactivated when the refrigerator compartment is OFF.

Using Ever Fresh to its full potential

The following information is a guide on how to get the best from the Ever Fresh system and the food it stores.

Ever Fresh containers

•Do not clean the lids in a dishwasher.

•The maximum fill level marked on the container must

•Pre-packed foods stored using the vacuum system must still be consumed before the use-by date.

•Repeatedly storing these vacuum-packed foods does not change their natural tendency to spoil.

•Do not store defrosted foods using the vacuum system unless they have been cooked already.

•Stored food should be prepared while fresh (chopped, sliced, peeled, cooked) and should be in perfect condition.

•Perishable foods stored using the vacuum system must still be stored inside the refrigerator.

•Cooked foods must be left to cool before being stored using the vacuum system.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

•Adjust the temperature using the display.

•Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower the temperature quickly. For example, when you place a large number of new food items inside a fridge the internal temperature will rise slightly. The function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.

•Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and tips).

•Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.

•Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.
