• 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 origi-
nal packaging. The vacuum sealer can be stored standing on the appliance base or,
to save space, on the side (upright or lengthways) (see Fig. 19+20).
The upper cover must remain open with the locking catches disengaged. Moreover,
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.

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

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 cover is firmly shut on the left and right side.
