OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before use, always thoroughly clean your SOLIS
MINI and any accessories coming in contact with
food (containers, caps, jars etc.) as directed in
the “INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING” paragraph.
Vacuum packing using SOLIS MINI pre-cut bags or rolls
1. Position the appliance in a dry place on a level surface,
making sure that the work area in front of the appliance
itself is clear of obstacles and there is enough room to
accommodate the bags with the food to be packed.
Plug the power cord into a power socket corresponding
to the voltage of the appliance (see technical details).
2. SOLIS MINI bags are available in two widths: 20 and
30 cm. Choose the bag size suited for the food you
intend to preserve. Check that the bag you are going to
use is at least 8 cm longer than the food to be pack-
aged, taking into account an additional 2 cm for each
time the bag will be subsequently reused.

the ON button (1.).
4. Vacuum packing by using the bag cut from the roll

the open ends of the bag by carrying out the following
steps:
4a Lift the lid (5.) and turn it in the open position until
you hear a slight click.
4b Position either of the two open ends of the bag
on the sealing bar (10.). with the smooth side up.
