If you wish to end the marinating process early, simply touch the
Cancel (B)
button.
If you wish to start the marinating process again, simply press the
Marinate (G)
button once more and the marinating process will start again.
Note:
Always ensure that the seal of the lid and the edge of the containers are
completely clean and dry.
–
To open the lid of the container
, press the button right beside the air extrac-
tion 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 container.

INFLATING THE BAG AND SEALING IT TO MAKE AN
AIR CUSHION: PULSE BLOW FUNCTION (L)
If you want to make air cushions, e.g. to make packaging material for pressure
sensitive or fragile items, you can use the
Pulse Blow
function to do that.
1. Place one bag end in the vacuum bay.
Caution:
The bag end has to be pushed
all the way resp. approx. 4 cm deep into the bay.
2. Touch the
Pulse Blow (L)
button. The blue Pulse Blow button surround lights
up. The bag end is now locked into the vacuum bay and the inflation process
starts. The pump blows air into the bag for as long as you touch the
Pulse Blow
button.
Note:
The standard setting for the
Pulse Blow
function is the
Single
weld. Even
if the
Double
weld is preset, the appliance automatically switches back to
Single
once the
Pulse Blow
button is touched.
3. When the bag is sufficiently filled with air, let go of the
Pulse Blow
button and
briefly touch the
Manual Seal (E)
button to start the welding process. After the
Manual Seal
button is pushed, the pump starts up for approx. 2 more seconds
before the welding process starts. You can follow the progression with the pro-
gress indicator
(D)
. Wait for the button surround and the progress indicator to
go out and the signal to sound. The process has completed.
4. Double check the new weld to make sure it is straight and without creases.
Should this not be the case, repeat the process after cutting off the old weld.
Note:
The
Pulse Blow
function stops after 90 seconds, automatically starting the
welding process, even if you keep the button pressed. Should 90 seconds not be
enough to completely fill the bag with air, simply release the
Pulse Blow
button
before the first 90 seconds have elapsed and then press it a second time. This allows
you to use the blowing function for another max. 90 seconds.
Important:
– Make sure that the container lid is firmly pressed around the container. Then,
slowly push the air extraction hose as far as possible into the openings on the
lid and on the appliance so that no air can get into 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.

MARINATING WITH THE MARINATING FUNCTION
AND THE SQUARE SOLIS CONTAINERS:
FUNCTION MARINATE (G)
Marinating using the marinate function is best suited with meat or fish, to spice and
allow it to tenderise. Thanks to the Solis VertiVac Plus marinate-function, you can
quickly marinate meat or fish effectively, in just a few minutes, since the vacuum
allows the marinade to penetrate deeper into the food. The vacuum function main-
tains a vacuum for several minutes, then releases air, allowing the food to ‘rest’ for
several seconds. This process will be repeated several times – you will see how well
the fish or meat absorbs the marinade. The whole marinating process takes only a
few minutes.
– Prick the meat / poultry / fish a few times with a fork.
Place the meat / fish in the square Solis container (1.0
or 2.8 L). Cover the meat / fish with the marinade and
leave at least 3 cm distance between the food and the
upper edge of the container. Close the container with
the correct lid
(see
Fig. 20
)
.
–
Take the
air extraction hose
, which is included with
the appliance resp. the Solis container set. Plug one
end of the hose into the
air extraction port (3)
of
the appliance and the other end into the
opening on
the container lid
(see
Fig. 21
)
.
– Adjust the extraction speed to the foods in the con-
tainer with the
Vacuum (I)
button:
Normal
for robust
foods,
Gentle
for pressure sensitive foods. The corre-
sponding control light illuminates.
– Touch the
Marinate (G)
button, the marinating process begins and lasts a few
minutes. The appliance will switch off automatically after the last marinating
cycle is completed. You can follow the progress with the progress indicator
(D)
.
Wait for the button surrounds and the progress indicator
(D)
to go out and the
signal to sound, then the process is completed.
– Remove the
air extraction hose (10)
, first from the container, then from the
appliance.
