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.).
• 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.

7. Wait for the signal that the operation has finished (the
Ever Fresh icon will switch off).
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.
!
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 RESET
ALARM button must be pressed twice to restore normal
operation.
