This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits
and vegetables. Warm air is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of
the oven and over a period of time, the water is removed from the
food by evaporation. Removal of water inhibits growth of
microorganisms and retards the activity of enzymes. It is important to
remember that dehydration does not improve the quality, so only
fresh, top-quality foods should be used.

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. VGR models—Set the temperature control to 200°F (93.3°C) and

turn on the convection fan switch.
VDR models - Set the temperature control to 200°F (93.3°C) and
turn the selector to “TRU CONV”.

Air is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven. The fan
accelerates natural defrosting of the food without heat. To avoid
sickness and food waste, 

DO NOT

allow defrosted food to remain in

the oven for more than two hours.

You must carefully check the food during the dehydration process to
ensure that it does not catch fire.
