CLEAN ING A ND CA RE
s
To clean your vacuum-appliance, please proceed as follows:
1. Always first pull the plug out of the socket.
2. Never submerge the appliance in water or hold it under running water.
3. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, solvents or abrasive materials for clean-
ing with appliance, these could damage the surfaces.
4. Wipe the appliance with mild cleaning agents and with a soft, damp cloth.
5. Leave the appliance to completely air dry, before storing or using the appliance.
6. The appliance must not be oiled.
• Note: The seals around the vacuum chamber should also be completely dry.
If you take them out for a thorough clean then put them back in place, then
they must be put back in exactly the same position so that no air can enter the
vacuum chamber.
P OWER- CAB L E S TO RAG E
If the appliance is not in use, the power cable should be rolled up and placed in
the cable compartment on the underside of the appliance. Never wrap the cord
around the appliance!

• Caution: Before storing, always check that the lid of the appliance is not
locked shut! Otherwise the seals will become no longer airtight.
Store the appliance in a flat dark place, out of reach of children, at best in it's
original packaging. The vacuum sealer must rest on it's base and not lie on it's
side since this could cause damage to the appliance which would not be covered
by warranty.
The upper cover must remain open with the locking catches disengaged. Moreo-
ver, nothing should be placed on top of the appliance so that there is no pressure
on the seals. Seals are consumables and are not covered by warranty.

1. Check that the plug is plugged into the correct socket.
2. Check whether the power cable is damaged. If this is the case, bring the appli-
ance to Solis or a Solis approved service centre to get the cable replaced.
3. Check whether the socket is working by connecting another electrical device.
4. Check that the end of the bag is correctly in the vacuum chamber.
5. The vacuum sealer switches off automatically if it overheats. Let it cool down
first before starting to use it again.

1. So that the bag gets completely sealed, the open end of the bag must lie com-
pletely in the vacuum chamber without any wrinkles.
2. Check that the sealing bar and the seals around the vacuum chamber are free
from dirt and in the correct position. Also, the seals must not be broken or
porous. Clean the seals and the sealing bar.
3. Check whether the bag has a hole in it. To do this, seal the bag with some air
in it and submerge it in water. If bubbles rise from it, it is leaking, use another
bag.
4. Use bags and films from Solis exclusively!
5. Perhaps the bag is not completely sealed, because of crumbs, fat or liquid in the
seal or the bag was not flat and has wrinkles or creases. Open the bag, clean
the inside of the bag end, the sealing bar and the rubber contact strip and make
sure that the end of the bag is lying completely flat in the vacuum chamber.
