Proceed as follows:

Cover the rack with baking
parchment. Prepare the fruit,
mushrooms or herbs and space them
out on the parchment. Do not
overload the rack and only use one
shelf level at a time to ensure
sufficient drying.

Place the grill pan underneath to
catch any drips of juice or moisture.

Select Fan heat

Reduce the recommended
temperature to 40-80 °C (see chart).

Dry with the oven door closed.

If the food still feels slightly moist after
the oven drying period has finished,
leave it to finish drying at room
temperature.
