surface. Always make sure there is enough
space over and beside the unit in order to
prevent damages (e. g. to cabinets) due to
hot steam escaping from the unit.

dehydrating trays. Stack the dehydrating
trays up.
3. Connect the plug to power mains.


The food dehydrator includes 5 stackable dehydrating trays. The air
circulates in the dehydrator and removes moisture from the food.

Please always operate the unit with the transparent lid.

Evenly spread the food to be dehydrated on the trays. Do not put one
upon the other. Use only to 90 % of the surface on the trays to allow
air to circulate freely.

Depending on the moisture of the food itself and the humidity in the air,
drying operation time can vary. Use the dehydrator in a dust free,
warm and dry room. Well air ventilation is also important.

If you notice uneven drying during operation re-position the dehydrat-
ing trays. Place the bottom tray on top and vice versa.

Fruit and vegetables dried in your food dehydrator will be different in
appearance from those sold in health food stores and supermarkets.
