3. Close the handles on either
side of the container and turn
the knob on the lid of the
container all the way to the
CLOSE position. Then turn the
knob anticlockwise to the
VACUUM position
(see figure A).
4. Press the button on the shelf
and place the container in the
central position
(see figure B).
5. Lock the container into
position by pulling the button on
the shelf
(see figure C).
6. Activate the Ever Fresh
function by pressing the relevant
button on the control panel (the
Ever Fresh indicator light will
illuminate). It takes approximately
1 minute for the system to suck
the air out of the containers. This
stage is accompanied by a noise
that is caused by the normal
operation of the Ever Fresh function.
7. Once the air suction phase has been completed, the
Ever Fresh LED switches off automatically.
8. Unlock the container from its position by pressing the
button on the shelf.
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).
!
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
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.).
• Do not put the containers in the freezer.
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.
