ASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE:
Make sure that the dehydrator sits steadily on a
solid, level surface. Stack the drying trays and
connect the plug into a wall socket. The height of
dehydrator can be increased from 306 mm to 395
mm by turning the upper trays into the clips for
lower ones, which makes it possible to dry larger
chunks food. The dehydrator is now ready for use.
USING THE APPLIANCE
1. Put clean food onto the trays. Do not overload
the trays and make sure particular chinks of food
do not overlap. Close the cover.
Note: always start loading the food from the
bottom tray to the top tray.
2. Plug the dehydrator into a wall outlet. There is a
beep sound at the beginning when it starts up.
The LED screen will show default time setting
“10:00” and temp setting “70°C”. When it switches
to standby mode, the signal “:” between the time
figures (hours and minutes) does not flash.
3. When the dehydrator is in the standby mode,
press the “TIMER” button to display the time on
LED screen. Use
“+" or "-" button to change the
drying time accordingly, setting it to a value
between "0:30” and “19:30". Press "+" or "-" button
once; the time increment or decrement is 30
minute/press. If you press and hold the "+" or "-"
button for a long time, the setting will increase or
decrease continuously. 3 seconds after finishing
with the drying time settings, the system will
automatically switch to standby mode in the
current time setup.
4. When the appliance is in the standby mode,
press the “TEMP” button and LED screen will
display the temperature. Use the "+" or "-" button

press and hold the "+" or "-" button, temperature
setting will be increased or decreased
continuously. 3 seconds after the drying
temperature is set, the system automatically

setup. LED screen will display the time in standby
mode.
Note: Set low temperature for thin/small pieces of
food or for a small load of food. Set high
temperature for drying thick/big pieces of food and
large loads. The thermostat can also be used to
decrease the temperature as the food is near the
end of its drying cycle, which makes it easier to
control the final moisture level in the food.

“Start/Reset” button, Motor and fan will start first;
the heating element will start to operate 5 seconds
later. Set time begins to count down;
