CAUTION: Before using the appliance always make sure that the appliance
and the containers are absolutely clean and free of damage so that food
does not get contaminated.
1. APPLIANCE INSTALLATION
Place the appliance on a suitably large, horizontal, clean and dry work surface.
Note that you also need space for the food filled container to be vacuumed.
2. MAINS PLUG
Insert the plug into a suitable power socket. The Normal and Dry indicator lights
illuminate.
3. SELECT SETTINGS
Once the appliance is plugged in you should select the desired settings. Touch
the corresponding function button to do that.
3.1 Setting vacuuming speed with the Vacuum (H) button
To make vacuuming easy, you can adjust the vacuuming speed to the food you
wish to process. The automatic standard setting is Normal for normally robust
foods. If you wish to seal pressure sensitive foods in Solis bags, you should select
the Gentle function by touching the Vacuum (H) button. Vacuuming will then
be done more slowly, allowing you to follow the vacuuming process and seal
the bag early by touching the Manual Seal (E) button.
3.2 Adjusting the sealing process with the Food (I) button
With your SOLIS Vac Prestige vacuum sealer, you can adjust the sealing process
to the moisture content of the food. You can choose between Dry and Moist
to make sure to always get an optimally welded seal.
Dry, which is the standard setting, is ideal for dry foods like f.e. biscuits, rice or
coffee. For slightly moist foods, touch the Food (I) button to switch to Moist
setting, which is suitable for all foods that contain water (like f.e. red meat or
fish). For foods with a high moisture content, please refer to the notes given in
the section „Tips for optimal vacuuming" in this manual.
4. TIPS FOR THE USE OF VACUUM BAGS
There are Solis vacuum bags in different sizes or vacuum bag film with which you
can set the bag size. Always choose a bag size appropriate for the food. Keep
in mind that the bag should be at least 8 cm larger than the food and you will
need an additional 2 cm for the seal.
NOTE: Should you use ready made vacuum bags, you can proceed directly to
point 6 of these instructions.
