CLEANING
1. Clean the racks and interior of the cabinet before using the
dehydrator for the first time and after each use.
2. Allow unit to cool before cleaning. Turn the power switch to the
OFF position and ensure the electrical cord is unplugged from the

mild dish soap. Be careful not to splash water onto the heating
element (located behind the screen inside the cabinet at the
back.) DO NOT immerse the dehydrator in water.
4. The dehydrator shelves are dishwasher safe. Be certain ALL
parts are completely dry before plugging in and powering up the
product.

of the unit have no electrical components and can be washed
thoroughly.

before reconnecting to the power source.
Note:
Even the slightest amount of moisture remaining on parts can
cause electric shock.
