setting 1 for produce with a low water content such as herbs, mushrooms, spinach, onions etc.,

Arrange the food on the Drying Racks, ensuring the pieces of food are not quite touching, to allow
air to circulate freely. Place Drying Racks onto the Base. To use unit efficiently, use only the num -
ber of racks needed.
