A. Vacuuming of Solis containers with twist-knob on
the lid (fig. K)
–
Wash the container in water and clean the lid with a
damp cloth; dry all completely.
–
Place the food into the container and leave at least
3 cm room between the food and the top edge of
the container (see fig. L). Clean the upper edge of the
container again, along with the underside of the lid
with the seal and place the lid on the container. Turn
the control dial on the lid to the "SEAL" position (see
fig. K).
–
Take the air extraction hose (11) and insert the end
of it into the air extraction opening (2) of the appli-
ance and the other end into the opening of the
twist-knob on the lid (14) (see fig. M+N).
–
Adjust the extraction speed to the foods in the con-
tainer with the Vacuum (H) button: Normal for
robust foods, Gentle for pressure sensitive foods. The
corresponding control light illuminates.
Touch the Canister (F) button and the vacuuming
–
process will start. To prevent air from getting between
the lid and the container, press the lid of the container
down with your hand during vacuuming. The appli-
ance will automatically switch off when the necessary
vacuum is reached, a signal will sound.
–
Gently pull out the air extraction hose (11) from the
lid.
–
To open the lid of the container, turn the control dial
to the "OPEN" position. You will hear a slight hissing
sound as the air enters the container again. This hiss
guarantees that there was an air vacuum in the con-
tainer.
