! 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.

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) .
• 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.
• 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.
