DRYING OF FRUIT

Drying  is  one  of  the  oldest  methods  of  food  preservation.  Foods  contain  more  or  less  water,  which  we  

remove in the process of drying. In the same time, we remove the breeding ground for mold and rot. After 

proper drying and storage under good conditions, the dried food may be kept and used for several years.

By removal of water from the food, the aromatic compounds would become concentrated and tastier. The 

preservation is done in a natural way without using preservatives. There is no destruction of vitamins and 

minerals. Even if you are used to preserve foods or freeze them, drying will extend the storage possibilities 

for fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, medicinal plants and teas and enrich your culinary skills. Drying of food 

on the sun is more a matter of chance in our geographical conditions. When drying food in an electric or 

gas oven, which is not designed for drying, there occurs „sweating“ or dripping of juices from the foods and 

subsequent sticking to the underlaying dish because of insufficient air circulation. Moreover, it is very difficult 

to clean the oven from the burned juices.

Your new food dehydtrator is faster and more efficient on the basis of its system, which strictly adheres to the 

rules of physics. The intake air flow is evenly heated and distributed in such a way that it removes moisture 

from the foods ready in each chamber.

The moist air is taken out through openings in the cover of the food dehydrator. This system allows drying in 

all chambers, but for an even drying of of the whole load of the dehydrator it is necessary during the drying 

process to change the order of the individual chambers, because the drying intensity is highest in the bottom 

chamber. Just before finishing the drying process it is advisable to check the drying quality visually and by 

touch. According to judgement, it is possible to sort out the foods and extend the drying time.

USING THE APPLIANCE

We recommend to wash the individual chambers with gentle cleaners before first use or after a longer break 

in use.
