MOST IMPORTANT
Trays nearest the bottom are exposed to the hottest, driest air and food on them will dry
more rapidly. So it is important to rotate the location of the trays during dehydration.
Simply move trays as shown in the following diagrams. Also turn each tray a quarter turn
sideways to help insures more even drying. Use from 1-9 trays with standard models and
up to 15 trays with motorized-fan models

Example: Rotate trays about every 6 hours
Occasionally check to see if your food is dehydrated
. Your Food Dehydrator is
designed to rely on natural heat convection to carry away moisture from the food. The
thickness of your cuts, the moisture content of the food and relative humidity are all
factors in drying.
