Once drying time has completed, the
unit will automatically turn itself off.
Alternately, you can press the power
button to turn off before removing plug
from socket.
We do not recommend mixing sweet
and savoury foods, as circulating air
may transfer flavours.
Reposition the trays regularly for
consistent dehydrating.
