1. SETTING THE APPLIANCE
GB Place the appliance on a sufficiently large, horizontal, clean, moisture resistant
and dry work surface. Keep in mind that you will need some space for the food-
filled bags you wish to vacuum seal.
2. CONNECTING THE POWER PLUG
Plug the power plug into a suitable power outlet. Briefly, all buttons and control
lights light up. After a moment, only the Gentle, Dry and Single control lights
light up.
3. MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
Once the appliance is connected to the power mains, you should make the
desired adjustments. To do that, touch the corresponding function buttons.
3.1 Adjusting the evacuation speed with the Vacuum (I) button
To make vacuuming easier for you, the evacuation speed can be adjusted to the
food you wish to process. The standard setting is Gentle for pressure-sensitive
foods. If you want to seal normal robust foods, you should choose the Normal
function by touching the Vacuum (I) button. Evacuation is now performed
quicker. You can follow the vacuum process at all times and, if necessary, start
sealing whenever you want by touching the Manual Seal (E) button.

3.2 Adjusting the sealing process with the Food (J) button
With the Solis VertiVac vacuum sealer, you can adjust the sealing process to the
moisture content of the food. You can choose between Dry and Moist to always
get a perfectly sealed weld.
Dry, the standard setting, is ideal for dry foods like e.g. biscuits, rice or coffee.
For slightly wet foods, touch the Food (J) button to switch to the Moist setting,
which is especially well suited to all foods that contain moisture (like e.g. red
meat or fish). Please refer to the notes given in the chapter "Tips for optimal
vacuuming" in this manual when processing foods with a high moisture content.
3.3 Adjusting the weld with the Weld (K) button
With the Solis VertiVac vacuum sealer, you can choose between a Single and a
Double weld.
The Single weld is the standard setting and ideally suited to normal, dry foods.
If you require a double weld, e.g. when vacuuming moist foods, touch the Weld
(K) button to switch to the Double setting.
4. TIPS FOR USING THE VACUUM BAGS
There are differently sized Solis bags or vacuum films, allowing you to determine
the bag size yourself. Always choose a bag size that fits the food. Keep in mind
that the bag should be at least 8 cm larger than the food you wish to seal and
add another 2 cm for the weld.
