The first time you turn on your food dehydrator you may no-
tice an aroma. This is normal. To avoid this smell from being
transferred to the food, place one tray and the lid on the base,
and following the specific instructions for your model, allow the
unit to run without food in place until the aroma is gone. This
is only necessary the very first time you use the dehydrator,
and takes less then one hour.
