Dehydrating food is a popular and 

natural way to preserve current season 

fruits/vegetables, as well as some 

meats. Constant circulation of precisely 

heated air around the 5 layered trays 

allows food to dry. This method of 

dehydrating intensifies flavours. Food 

can be dehydrated without additives, 

leaving a concentration of natural fibre 

(in fruit and vegetables), antioxidants 

and vitamins. 
Dehydration allows you to enjoy fruit, 

vegetables and meats all year round. We 

recommend dehydrating foods that are 

in season and at their nutritional peak. 

Dehydrated foods also tend to have 

a long storage life, kept in an airtight 

container some dehydrated foods can 

be kept for 3-5 months in a cool, dry 

place. As shelf life varies between types 

of food, please research how long a 

particular dehydrated food can be 

safely stored.

Operating Your Food Dehydrator

Before First Use

Ensure that the trays are washed in 

warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly 

and dry.

Dehydrating

Place pre-treated food on each tray, 

ensuring that no food is overlapping. 

If dehydrating several types of food at 

once, place each type of food on its 

own tray. 
For wet mixtures use the solid tray and 

place on top of the drying tray
Apply lid. Connect power cord to 

socket, the LED screen will appear on.  
Press the power button to start setup. 

Press set button to adjust the time and 

temperature. Time adjusts in 30 minute 

increments and temperature in 5°C 

increments using the     and     buttons. 
Dry selected foods based on taste or a 

recipe. Once drying time is complete for 

a particular food you can easily remove 

that selected tray, so you won’t disturb 

other foods’ drying time.
