User manual BRAUN MR5550 V

[. . . ] Vacuum preservation is not a substitute for food storage in the refrigerator or freezer. Therefore, the recommended storage times and especially temperatures for the respective food types need to be strictly observed. We further recommend a storage temperature of between -1 and +7 °C (based on the recommendations of the BfR ­ Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, Germany) for perishable food. This can be achieved by storing the food in the special cool compartments of the refrigerator. [. . . ] Do not fill a container more than 10 mm below the brim. For storage in the freezer, please assure that the big containers are not filled more than 20 mm below the brim. Before using the containers in an oven or microwave, make sure you remove both the lid (G) as well as the tray (N). The tray (N) is designed to protect food from exuded liquids during storage. Raw meat will become darker under vacuum conditions. After a few minutes in The combination of Braun FreshWare and the vacuum pump will make it possible to marinate such foods as beef in hours instead of days. For best results, pour marinade over the meat, then create a vacuum and release it right away. Repeat this procedure twice more and let the beef marinate without vacuum for three hours. Food such as rice, lentils, cereals and flour which are not preserved in the refrigerator can eventually become stale or spoiled. In vacuum conditions, this risk is significantly diminished with longer and better storage life as a consequence. Contact with air again, it will partly recover its natural colour. As this is a normal process, there will be no impact on the quality of the food. During storage, vacuum conditions are acceptable as long as the vacuum indicator stays in line with the valve lid surface. Before you use the Braun fresh system for the first time, rinse all parts thoroughly. Clean the motor part (A) and the vacuum pump (D) with a damp cloth only. Do not hold the motor part nor the vacuum pump under running water, nor immerse them in water. All other parts can be cleaned in the dishwasher. Remove the valve lid (H), lid seal (M) and valve seal (L) to clean them separately in the dishwasher or rinse them under water and let them air-dry. To remove the valve lid (H) completely, lift and pull out. Be careful not to use excessive detergent or descaler in your dishwasher. What to do if vacuum cannot be generated The sealing elements (valve and lid seal) and the lid especially have to be completely free from dust, fluff or food particles. Rinse them under water and let them air-dry.
