Note:
*For meat/poultry cook to
160-165 °F respectively,
prior to dehydrating.
· For smaller ingredients,
fit the mesh insert onto
a drying tray to prevent
pieces from falling
through the holes.
· For best results, set a
lower temperature for
thinner/smaller pieces
of food or for smaller
loads, and a higher
temperature for thicker/
larger pieces and larger
loads. The temperature
buttons can also be
used to decrease the
temperature as the
food nears the end of
its drying cycle to allow
more control over the
final moisture level.
