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.

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.
• Do not store defrosted foods using the vacuum system
