B. Vacuuming Solis containers without twist-knob on the lid (see Fig. 15)
The multi-functional Solis containers are ideal for storing dry foods, powdered
foods, and fresh, dry or pureed fruit and vegetables. Due to its transparent design,
the contents can be easily seen and the practical date-indicator gives an indication
of the shelf-life of the contents.
–
Wash the container in water and clean the lid with a
damp cloth; dry all completely.
–
Place the food into the container, leaving at least 3 cm
between the food and the top edge of the container.
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 (see Fig. 16).

enter between the container and the lid, press down
on the lid of the container with your hand during
vacuuming. The appliance switches off automatically
once the required vacuum has been reached.
–
Carefully pull out the air extraction hose from the
container lid.
–
To open the lid of the container, press the button
right beside the air extraction opening, so that the
vacu um pressure is released. You will hear a slight
hissing sound as the air passes back into the container.
This hiss guarantees that there was an air vacuum in
the appliance.
IMPORTANT:
–
Make sure that the container lid is firmly pressed
around the container. Press the air extraction hose as
deep as possible into the opening on the lid, so that
no air can enter the container.
–
To check if there is enough vacuum pressure in the
container, try to move the lid a little. If it cannot be
moved then the vacuum pressure is perfect.
