• Make sure the bag cut from the roll is properly
positioned as described in item 4 of the paragraph:
“Vacuum packing using SOLIS MINI pre-cut bags
and rolls”.
The SOLIS MINI does not create a complete vacuum in
the bags
• To seal the bag properly, you must make sure that
the open end remains completely inside the Vacuum
Chamber
(9.).

overheats and melts the bag,
you may have to raise the Lid

tainers
• By means of the Connection Tube
(12.)
connect the Cap

• Leave enough room (at least 3 cm) between the
contents and the top of the jar or container.

cap is positioned on “VACUUM” before securing the
attachment on top of it.
• Use the right-sized Cap Attachment (see page 17)
• Make sure the Cap Attachment is not broken or
damaged.

process, remember that they must first be chilled in
a refrigerator, not left at room temperature.

being sealed
• Leaks along the seam may be caused by creases,

caused air to leak in. Use paper napkins to protect any
sharp edges on the contents of the bag.

universal cap is set properly in place and is not dam-
aged.
