1. Do not overfill the bag. Always leave enough empty space at the end of the
bag so that it can be placed in the vacuum chamber without problem and with-
out wrinkles or creases.
2. The open bag end should not be wet, since wet bags can not be sealed.
If the foods contain moisture or the bag is wet on the inside, you should choose
the highest Sealing time setting to prolong sealing time and improve the final
result.
3. Clean the open bag end and pull it straight, before you seal it. Make sure
that there is no food residue on the end of the bag and that there are no creases
in the end of the bag. The sealed seam must be completely smooth, otherwise
it will not be airtight.
4. Never leave too much air in the bag. Press on the bag a little to get most of
the air out before vacuuming. Too much air in the bag means more work for
the vacuum pump, which could overload the motor. The consequence could be
that not all of the air is vacuumed out of the bag.
5. Please do not vacuum foods with sharp edges, such as e.g. fish bones and
mussels. The sharp edges can cut through the film so that it is no longer airtight.
To vacuum such foods we recommend using a container instead of a plastic
bag. Alternatively you can cover the sharp edges and ends with folded kitchen
paper so that it cannot damage the bag or poke holes in it.
6. You should wait for a minute after every vacuum programme before you
vacuum the next bag, so that the appliance can cool down.
7. If the necessary vacuum pressure has not been reached after one minute,
the appliance will switch off automatically. If this happens, please check if
the bag/container is not airtight or whether the end of the bag is not clean and
straight in the vacuum chamber or whether there is another possible reason.
8. Always check whether the ring seals on the vacuum chamber are dirty or have
deformations or cracks. If the former is the case, clean and dry the ring seals,
if the latter is the case, replace the seals with new ones.
9. During the vacuum programme, small quantities of liquids, crumbs or food
particles can be accidentally sucked into the vacuum chamber, cloggin up the
vacuum pump and damaging your appliance. To avoid this, we recommend first
freezing juicy or moist foods, before you vacuum them in the bag, or place
folded kitchen paper to form a barrier. For powdery or finely ground foods the
following applies: do not overfill the bag and place a coffee filter in the bag
before vacuuming the bag.
10. In gereneral fruits should be pre-frozen and vegetables blanched before
vacuuming in order to achieve best results.
11. Delicate foods such as pastries or berries should be vacuumed in SOLIS con-
tainers. Alternatively, freeze the food 24 hours before vacuuming in a bag.
