1. Make sure that the power plug is properly connected to the power socket and
that the ON/OFF switch is set to position "I".

3. Check whether the socket is working by connecting another electrical device.

1. To ensure that the bag is firmly sealed, the open end of the bag must wrap
around the two metal surfaces and be completely and evenly placed on the
sealing bar. Additionally, it has to be held in place by the bag fixation clamp.
2. Check whether the bag has a hole in it. To do this, seal the bag with some air in
it and submerge it in water. If bubbles rise from it, it is leaking, use another bag.
3. Use bags and films from Solis exclusively!
4. Perhaps the bag is not completely sealed, because of crumbs, fat or liquid in the
seal or the bag was not flat and has wrinkles or creases. Open the bag, clean
and dry the inside of the bag end and make sure that the bag end is absolutely
straight when it is placed on the sealing bar and under the bag fixation clamp.
Then, start the vacuuming process again.
5. Make sure that the vacuum time is sufficiently high. If necessary, increase the
vacuum time.
6. Do the foods you wish to vacuum have sharp edges? If they do, the bag might
have a hole. Change the bag, cushion the food with kitchen paper and try vac-
uuming the bag again.

1. There is a vacuum pressure sensor inside the appliance. If this pressure is not
high enough, the sealing process is not automatically started and the appliance
switches off after approx. two minutes. Check if the lid does not shut tightly and
if the seals are dirty or impaired due to an age-related issue.
2. Perhaps the bag is not completely sealed, because of crumbs, fat or liquid in the
seal or the bag was not flat and has wrinkles or creases. Open the bag, clean
and dry the inside of the bag end and make sure that the bag end is absolutely
straight when it is placed on the sealing bar and under the bag fixation clamp.
Then, start the vacuuming process again.
3. Make sure that the sealing time is sufficiently high. If necessary, increase the
sealing time.
4. Is the sealing bar damaged and properly positioned? If necessary, replace the
sealing bar and make sure that it is correctly positioned.
5. Is the rubber contact strip damaged and properly positioned? If necessary,
replace the rubber contact strip and make sure that it is correctly positioned.
6. Check if the bag end is wet. If yes, dry the bag end and reseal the bag.

1. Perhaps the bag is not completely sealed, because of crumbs, fat or liquid in the
seal or the bag was not flat and has wrinkles or creases. Open the bag, clean
and dry the inside of the bag end and make sure that the bag end is absolutely
straight when it is placed on the sealing bar and under the bag fixation clamp.
Then, start the vacuuming process again.
2. Some foods produce natural gasses or ferment, such as e.g. fresh fruit and
vegetables. If you suspect this to be the case, open the bag and check the food.
If it is fermenting, throw the bag away. Temperature fluctuations in refrigerators
can also spoil vacuum packed foods. If in doubt, always throw the food away.
3. Check if the bag has a hole which has let air in. Sharp edges of foods should
be covered or "padded" with folded kitchen paper, so that the edges cannot
cause holes.
4. Did you vacuum fresh vegetables resp. fresh fruit and did not place it in the
refrigerator immediately? Vegetables and fruit have to be stored cold imme-
diately, as photosynthesis occurs at room temperatures, causing them to emit
gases.
