• 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
I. Fresh food is kept fresh for longer.
Storage
Fresh vegetables,
sliced
(e.g. peppers,
courgettes)
Fresh fruit
(e.g. fruit salad)
Dips
(e.g. guacamole)
Crisps
(e.g. tortilla/potato
chips)
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
(e.g. lasagne)
White/brown bread
Dark bread
Cheese
Cold cuts
III. After 6 days under vacuum conditions,
vitamin C content is maintained 100%.
Without vacuum storage, only up to 65%
is maintained.

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.
