RECOMMENDATIONS
ATTENTION!
• To avoid food intoxication and intestinal diseases
strictly follow the below recommendations:
- - keep the grids (5) clean, wash the grids (5) and the
pastila tray (6) after each dehydrator use with warm
water and a neutral detergent.
- wash your hands before pretreating the foods. If
there are cuts or sores on your hands, or if you
have a skin condition – do not touch the foods, use
medical gloves instead.
- when checking the foods, use a fork or other kitchen
tools, do not touch the foods with your hands.
- keep the pets away, while the food dehydration is in
operation.
Fruits and vegetables selection
• Only use the ripe fruit and fresh vegetables, unripe fruit
may acquire a foreign taste in course of dehydration,
overly ripe fruit may change the color.
• Vegetables contain less sugars and acids, therefore,
not all of them are suitable for drying. The broccoli
and asparagus, for example, are better frozen than
dried.
• Dried fruit and vegetables must be slightly soft and
with no moisture, overly dried fruit and vegetables
are easy to crumble and have less nutritional value.
Pretreating fruit and vegetables
• Before dehydration thoroughly wash the fruit and
vegetables and dry them.
• Cut, remove stems, stones, pits, cores and seeds.
Remove the waxy coating if the fruit is waxy.
• Peel the skin from the vegetables if it is thick.
• Slice or dice the fruit and vegetables. Leave berries,
such as grapes, whole.
Preprocessing of fruit
• Certain fruit has a waxy coating, which can be
removed by peeling them or placing them into boiling
water for 1 minute.
• Use lemon, orange, or lime juice to preserve the
natural color of the fruit. Place the cut fruit pieces into
juice for 2-4 minutes, remove them, dry them, and
put them onto the grids (5).
• To enhance the flavor of the fruit, use natural juice
from the fruit to be dehydrated, e. g., apple juice for
the apples. Dilute 50-60 ml of the juice in 400 ml of
boiled water, place the cut fruit pieces into the diluted
juice for about 1-2 hours, remove the fruit, dry it, and
lay it out on the grids (5).
