Dehydrating
Dehydrating or drying is a traditional
method of preserving fruit and certain
vegetables.
It is important that fruit and vegetables
are ripe and not bruised before they are
dehydrated.
Prepare the food for drying by cutting
it up, and peeling and coring it if
necessary.
Distribute the food to be dried evenly
according to size over the universal
tray.
Select Convection Bake
(Conv
Bake).
Select the desired temperature.
Place the universal tray on shelf level 3.
When using Convection Bake
(Conv Bake) you can dehydrate on
levels 2+4 at the same time.
Turn the food to be dried halfway
through the dehydrating time.
The drying times are longer for whole
or halved food.
