Dehydrator Assembly and Operation

Assembly

the feet rest on the surface of the tray below, leaving a 1 1/4-inch space be

-

tween each tray. Position Cover over Trays with the rim of the Cover

securely set down on the Base.

Operation

: The Base contains a high speed fan that circulates the heated

air through the Chimney where it is diffused, promoting more even,

efficient dehydrating. The Vented Cover exhausts moisture and produces

a natural air flow.
