3. 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.
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
the end of the bag inside and out, the sealing bar and the seal and make sure
that the end of the bag is lying completely flat in the vacuum chamber.
AIR GOES BACK INTO THE B A G
AFTER IT HAS BEEN SEALED
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
the end of the bag inside and out, the sealing bar and the seal and make sure
that the end of the bag is lying completely flat in the vacuum chamber.
2. Some foods produce natural gasses or ferment, such as e.g. fresh fruit and veg-
etables. 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.
THE BAG HAS MELTED
Should the sealing bar or the contact pressure rubber overheat, the bag can melt.
In this case, unplug the appliance, open the lid and allow these parts to cool for a
few minutes.
THE CONTAI NER WI L L NOT VAC U U M
1. Check whether the air extraction hose is firmly connected both over the air
extraction opening and in the container lid.
2. Press on the lid or the hose connections at the start of the vacuuming programme
so that the edge of the container is sealed airtight.
3. If the container is visibly damaged, change containers.
4. Check whether the appliance is operational.
5. Check whether the edge of the container and the edge of the lid is completely
clean. If none of the above are relevant, please contact SOLIS or a SOLIS
approved service station.
