1. Place the base on a counter top or other suitable firm surface. Plug the unit into a
proper wall outlet. Be certain that the outlet voltage corresponds with the voltage
marked on the base.
2. Prepare the food, according to its type, as indicated in the drying charts on the
following pages.
3. Preheat the dehydrator by turning it on 5-10 minutes before loading the first tray.
Temperature will rise to approximately 155-165°F.
4. Arrange food to dry on each of the trays. Remember that it is the hot air circulation
that dries the food; do not overload the trays and never overlap the food. Stack trays
with prepared food and place on the base platform. Place the cover in position on
the top tray.
5. Dry for the time period suggested on the charts. Check food frequently (every 1/2
hour) near the end of the drying time and remove individual pieces as they become
dry. When foods are all the same size and thickness, they will dry evenly and at the
same rate.
1. Prior to cleaning, always unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
2. To clean the trays and cover, wash them in warm water and soap. Do not use a
scouring pad or any abrasive cleaners. The trays and cover, can be safely washed
in the top rack of the dishwasher.
3. Wipe the base clean with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in water.
