Instruction Manual
More space may be required for drying large products (grapes, dates, etc.). If this the case you can change the trays depths
from about 20 mm to 30 mm. Turn the trays to match the matt arrow markings (in one vertical line) until stepping on the
inner three feet located near the tray outer edge.
ATTENTION:
We recommend to place at least three trays, even if some remain empty.
2.
Plug the appliance into a 220-240 V outlet and press the button . The dehydrator shall then start operation with
power indicator light up and the fan shall start (a slight airflow shall start to come out through the openings in the lid).
3.
With the temperature control set the required temperature.
NOTE:
Set a low drying temperature for thin pieces or small products, or if small quantities are dried.
Set a high temperature for drying thick or large pieces, as well as for large quantities.
You can reduce the temperature when the drying time is coming to an end - this is the easiest way to adjust the level of
moisture that remains in the products.
The fan must always run during the dehydrator operation.
If you have not been able to dehydrate the products, you can restart the process the next day. In such case, the products must
be placed in a plastic container or plastic bag and placed in the freezer.
4.
Once the dehydrator has stopped working, press the button to switch it off, then unplug the cable from the socket.
STORING DRIED PRODUCTS
General storage recommendations
The storage conditions for dried products are of great importance in order to keep the products fresh and ready for use for a
longer time.
Before storage wait for the products to cool completely. Store the products in a dry, cool, and dark place. The heat and light
impact may spoil the products. The ideal storage temperature is 15-16oС.
If possible, vacuum the storage container and close it tightly.
We do not recommend to use breathable or loose-fitting lids containers. The dried products should not be stored in metal
containers.
The first few weeks check the container for moisture. In case of moisture it means that such products drying must be longer.
It is not recommended to store dried fruits and vegetables for more than one year.
It is recommended to dry in the summer, when fruits and vegetables are fresh and are optimally suited for dehydration.
Update your stock of dried products annually.
Dried meat, game, poultry or fish should not be stored for more than three months in a refrigerator or one year in a freezer.
Storage containers
All clean, airtight, moisture-resistant containers are suitable for storing dried products. It is best to use tight-fitting plastic
bags. Fill each package as much as possible, vacuum it and tie / close /. Filled bags may be placed in metal jars with caps, such
as tea or coffee jars, to protect the products from insects. Glass jars with tight-fitting and closing caps can also be used to
place the products in or without packages. Quality plastic containers are also suitable for storing dried products, if their caps
are airtight. Dried products should not be stored in paper or canvas bags, thin plastic bags or containers without tight-fitting
and resealable caps.
