CLEANING & MAINTENANCE 

1.

 

Make sure the unit is unplugged before cleaning. 

2.

 

Your dehydrator trays and lid are easy to clean. Simply soak them in warm water with a mild detergent for several 

minutes. Wash trays and lid with a non-abrasive moist sponge or cloth. A soft-bristle brush will loosen food particles that 
resist softening by soaking. Dry thoroughly with a non-abrasive towel. 

3.

 

Do not clean any parts with scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, or sharp utensils, as they tend to damage the surface. 

4.

 

Wipe the Base with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry thoroughly. DO NOT immerse the Base or cord in water or 

any other liquid. 

5.

 

To prolong the life for your appliance, hand-washing of parts is advised. Dishwasher use is not recommended. Never 

place the base in a dishwasher. If using a dishwasher only use top dishwasher tray and do not sit anything on the top of the 
dehydrating trays. Remove the trays from dishwasher before the drying cycle. 

6.

 

Reassemble the unit and insert the cord into the storage area under the base.
