no buttons are pressed on the control panel for 1 minute, the device automatically
switches off again.

to get rid of any smells:

▪ Place the dry drying rack and the lid on the basic device so they fit properly.

the display. 08:00 hours and 70°C.

Use
Preparing the food to be dried
Use only fresh, washed food. Avoid overripe fruit or vegetables.
▪ Remove stems, cores and stones.
▪ You can also sprinkle with lemon juice to preserve the colour.
▪ Vegetables with a firm structure: blanch for 2 minutes in hot water.
▪ Cut the food into even rings, pieces or slices. Thin slices dry quicker. The thicker they are, the longer
the drying time.
▪ Cover the drying rack with food.
▪ Leave a space between the pieces of food on the drying rack so enough air can circulate. Do not
overlap the pieces.
Getting started
▪ Stack the loaded drying racks one on top of the other on the basic device. 5 drying racks are
supplied. Three further drying racks can be purchased as accessories to extend the total drying area.
▪ Then put the lid on the top rack. Make sure that all the layers and the lid are correctly fitted to
ensure the warm air does not escape.
▪ Connect the device to the mains.
▪ Switch the device on by pressing the
On/Off
button.
