CONTROLLED VACUUMING AND MANUAL SEALING:
THE FUNCTIONS PULSE VACUUM (A) AND MANUAL SEAL (E)
The appliance creates a fairly high vacuum pressure in the bag. If you wish to vac-
uum seal pressure sensitive foods like e.g. pastry, we recommend using the
Pulse
Vacuum (A)
function to evacuate the bag and then using the
Manual Seal (E)
function to weld it shut. This makes supervising the vacuuming process even easier,
allowing you to prevent the foods from being damaged.
1. Place one end of the bag in the vacuum bay.
Caution:
The end of the bag has
to be pushed all the way into the bay.
2. Now touch the
Pulse Vacuum
button. The blue button surround of
Pulse Vac-
uum
lights up. The bag end is locked into the vacuum bay and the evacuation
process is started. The pump sucks out air for as long as you touch the
Pulse
Vacuum
button.
3. Let go of the
Pulse Vacuum
button once the vacuum in the bag is strong
enough. Briefly touch the
Manual Seal
button to start the welding process.
The weld is applied according to the settings (
Moist / Dry
or
Single / Double
),
please refer to the chapter “Making adjustments”. You can follow the progress
using the progress 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.

VACUUMING SOLIS CONTAINERS WITH LID:
CANISTER FUNCTION (H)
Caution:
Please use only the containers and the air extraction hose manufactured
by Solis for this appliance. Only these containers are designed to withstand the
negative pressure created by the Solis VertiVac vacuum sealer.
The accessories for your vacuum sealer are available from good specialist retailer or
Solis. A contact address can be found at the end of this manual.
7. The appliance now vacuums and seals the bag automatically. During the vac-
uum process, only the blue button surround of
Vacuum & Seal (C)
lights up.
Once the sealing process starts, the
Manual Seal (E)
button surround lights up
as well. You can follow the process with the progress indicator
(D)
(see
Fig. 8
)
.
Wait for the button surrounds and the progress indicator
(D)
to go out and the
signal to sound, then the process is completed.
8. Now, check the new weld again to make sure it is straight and without creases
(see
Fig. 9
)
. Should this not be the case, repeat the process after having cut off
the weld.
Note:
The appliance creates a fairly high vacuum pressure in the bag. Should
this high pressure crush fragile foods, keep an eye on the vacuum pressure in
the bag during the vacuum process and touch the
Manual Seal (E)
button once
the desired vacuum has been reached. The appliance immediately deactivates
the evacuation pump for vacuuming and starts sealing the bag.
Caution:
Should you notice that the evacuation pump does not suck any air out of
the bag, touch the
Cancel
(
B
) button and place the bag in the vacuum bay once
again. It is important that the bag is pushed in straight and all the way to the end.
This is to make sure that it reaches into the vacuum chamber. Proceed as described
in steps 6. through 8.

GOOD TO KNOW:
– In order for the appliance to perform best, it should be left for at least 1 minute
to cool before you inserting the next bag. Wipe away potentially escaped liquid
on the vacuum opening after each use.
– If you perform too many sealing processes in a row you might trigger the thermo
safety feature of the sealing bar. You have to allow the appliance to cool down
before continuing to use it.
– Only Solis vacuum bags or foils should be used, please do not use any other
bags in order to achieve optimal results and prevent damage to the appliance.
Defects caused by the use of improper accessories and supplies have to be fixed
at the owner’s expense even within the warranty period.
There are Solis vacuum bags in different sizes or vacuum bag film with which you
can set the bag size. Always choose a bag size appropriate for the food. Keep
in mind that the bag should be at least 8 cm larger than the food and you will
need an additional 2 cm for the seal.
For item numbers and descriptions, please refer to the enclosed order form.
You can find accessories for you vacuum sealer in good stores or you get them
from Solis. You can find the contact addresses at the end of this manual.
