CLEANING VACUUM CONTAINERS
1. The containers without the lids can be hand washed in warm, soapy water.
2.
ATTENTION: Do not immerse the lids of the containers into water and
don’t put them into a dishwasher. The inner cap underside of the con-
tainer lid can be removed and washed. Clean the lids themselves only
with a damp cloth. Allow them to dry thoroughly and re-insert the cap
on the underside of the lid.
3. Allow all accessories to dry completely, before storage or use.
4. We recommend, to keep the rubber seals elastic, to rub them from time to time
with a few drops of cooking oil.
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
)
.
– Open the appliance cover and take out the
air extrac-
tion hose
±
. Insert one end of it into the
air extrac-
tion opening
≥
of the appliance and the other end
into the
opening of the twist-knob on the lid
(see
Fig. 17+18
)
.
– Press the
Canister Switch
≤
button
(see
Fig. 18
)
, the
vacuum process begins. To make sure that no air can
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 irmly 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.
