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).
! 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.
! The Ever Fresh function is equipped with a safety device
that switches off the pump in case of malfunction (if the
container is missing or incorrectly positioned, for example).
If the safety device is activated, the Ever Fresh button must
be pressed to restore normal operation.
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
• The maximum fill level marked on the container must be
respected when storing liquids of any kind. Vacuuming
actual liquid from the container may damage the Ever
Fresh pump.
• Repeated opening of the vacuumed containers may
disturb the storage conditions of the food inside.
• Before using the system, make sure there is no visible
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.).
E
• Do not put the containers in the freezer.
• Do not clean the lids in a dishwasher.
Vacuum storage
• 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.
• Activate the SUPER COOL function to lower the
temperature quickly, for example, when you place a
large number of new food items inside a fridge and the
internal temperature rises slightly. This 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,
never 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 the level of humidity in the refrigerator and
cause condensation to form.
