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 an even, dry and dark place, outside of the reach of children,
best in the original packaging. The vacuum sealer can be stored standing on the
appliance bottom or space-savingly lying on the long side (see Fig. 10).
Always store the appliance with the lid open after vacuuming. Never leave the lid
locked, as this will deform the seals and impair the appliance functionality. Further-
more, nothing must be placed on top of the appliance to avoid pressure building
up on the seals. Seals are consumable supplies 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. Firmly push down on the centre front of the lid with one hand while sealing resp.

1. Make sure that the end of the bag is correctly positioned on the sealing bar,
as described in section I. (page 88) resp. section II. (pages 89 / 90).
2. Firmly push down on the centre front of the lid with one hand while sealing resp.
vacuum sealing so that a vacuum can develop in the vacuum chamber.

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 to place the bag end absolutely evenly in the vacuum chamber.
6. Check if the lid was firmly closed – if it can be opened without you having to
press the release button, the lid was not closed air-tightly. For this reason, you
should always push down on the center front of the lid with one hand while
vacuuming.
