Convection Dehydrate/Defrost
Convection Dehydrate
This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits
and vegetables.
1. Prepare the food as recommended.
2. Arrange the food on drying racks (not included with the oven;
contact a local store handling speciality cooking utensils).
3. Set the appropriate low temperature and turn the selector to
“TRU CONV”.
Convection Defrost
1. Place the frozen food on a baking sheet.
2. Set the temperature control to “OFF”.
3. Turn the selector to “TRU CONV”.
WARNING
To avoid sickness and food waste,
DO NOT
allow defrosted food to
remain in the oven for more than two hours.
NOTICE
DO NOT
turn the temperature control on during defrosting. Turning the
convection fan on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the food
without the heat.
