1. Place pre-treated ingredients onto the drying trays. Do not overload the trays and/or have ingredients overlap.

on top of each other.

NOTE:
• Do not operate the dehydrator for more than 72 hours in one single use. After 72 hours, power off and unplug the unit,
and let it cool down for at least 2 hours before operating again.
HELPFUL HINTS:
• For best results, set a lower temperature for thinner/smaller pieces of food or for smaller loads, and a higher
temperature for thicker/larger pieces and larger loads. The Temperature Control Knob can also be used to
decrease the temperature as the food nears the end of its drying cycle to allow more control over the final
moisture level.
