B. Vacuuming Solis containers without twist-knob
on the lid
(
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 con-
tents 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 distance 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
)
.
– Take the air extraction hose included with the appli-
ance resp. the Solis container set. Connect one end of
the hose to the connection port
Æ
on the appliance
and the other end to the
opening on the container
lid
(see
Fig. 17+18
)
.
– Touch the
Canister (F)
button
(see
Fig. 18
)
, the vac-
uuming process starts. 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 container.
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.
