PREPARING FOR USE 

1.  Remove any packing from the product. 

2.  Place the packing inside the box and either store or dispose of responsibly. 

3.  Before first use, clean the trays, damper door and pans with a lightly moistened cloth. Use detergent as needed. 

4.  Do NOT place the main unit into water or other liquids.

5.  After cleaning, the unit must run for 30 minutes while empty (no food placed inside). Smoke or smells produced   
 

during this procedure are normal. Please ensure sufficient ventilation. After this process, rinse the racks in water 

 

and dry all parts. This action is only necessary before the first use. 

ASSEMBLY:  

1.  Place the dehydrator on a level surface. 

2.  Stock the drying trays and connect the plug to a wall socket.  

Hints: 

This dehydrator includes nine (9) trays with overheating protection. The main unit contains heating elements, motor, 
fan and thermostat. 

• 

The air vents on the tray allow air to circulate. 

• 

Using a controlled heat temperature, air from the back flows into each tray, evaporating moisture. 

• 

Depending on the moisture in the food itself and the humidity in the air, drying operation time may vary. 

 

Use the dryer in  a dust free, well-ventilated, warm and dry room. Good air ventilation is also important. 

• 

Fruit and vegetables dried in your food dehydrator will be different in appearance from those sold in health food 

 

stores and supermarkets. 

• 

Measuring levels of humidity, weight of produce before and after drying times will be helpful to improving your 

 

drying techniques in the future.

GENERAL OPERATION   

Place clean food in the trays. Do not overload the trays or allow food to overlap. Close the damper door. 

1.  Plug the unit into the wall outlet. There will be a “beep” indicating that the unit has started operation. 

2.   Press the power button. The LED screen will display the default time setting “10:00” and temperature setting 
 

“158°F”. The motor and fan will start, followed by the heating element five (5) seconds later. The set time will 

 

begin to count down and the “:” on the LED screen will flash.

3.  Press the TIMER button. The LED screen will display the time value. Press the + or – button to change the drying 
 

time ranging from 0:30 to 19:30. Time can be set in increments of 30 minute/press. Press and hold the + or – 

 

button to automatically increase or decrease the time. Three (3) seconds after the drying time is set, the system 

 

will automatically enter operating mode with the input settings.
