HOW TO USE THE FRUIT 
ROLL-UP SHEET

Your unit comes with 
one fruit roll-up sheet. 

To prepare fruit 
roll-up sheet, lightly 
spray a paper towel 
with cooking spray 
and rub over the fruit 
roll-up sheet. Follow 
preheating preparation 
instructions which can 
be found in the recipe 
section of the instruction book for Yoghurt 
Roll-Ups, Spiced Apple Trail Mix Leather and 
Strawberry Banana Leather. Once your fruit 
roll-up sheet is ready, place on top rack of unit 
as shown in Fig. 1.

CLEANING AND  
MAINTENANCE

Dehydrator racks, top cover and fruit roll-up 
sheet are all dishwasher safe.

To clean unit base, unplug from outlet and wipe 
clean using a damp cloth. Wipe dry with a clean 
cloth.

NOTE: Any other servicing should be performed 
by an authorized service representative.

FOOD SELECTION

Select foods for dehydration that are in good 
condition. Fruits should have just become ripe 
since they contain the highest amount of natural  
sugar and provide the best results. Vegetables 
should be fresh and crisp. Avoid fruits that are 
not ripe; they yield unpredictable results and 
often have a flat, bitter taste. Overripe fruits and 
vegetables with spoiled portions should also be 
avoided. Cut off any bruised or marred portions 
of the fruits and vegetables before dehydration. 
Meat, poultry and fish should be fresh and lean. 
Preparation, dehydration time and foodstorage 
method will also influence their quality and 
taste. Follow preparation, dehydration and 
storage instructions in this manual to ensure 
the best-tasting, highest quality dried foods.

IMPORTANT

If you suspect food contamination, do not 
attempt to use the dehydrator. Discard the food.

VEGETABLE  
PREPARATION AND 
TREATMENT

Vegetables are low in acid and have less sugar 
than fruits, so they require a little more effort. 
Some vegetables are better frozen than dried, 
so remember to be selective in the vegetables 
you choose.

PREPARATION

Only the highest quality vegetables should be 
selected for drying. Wash them carefully just 
before dehydrating to remove dirt and bacteria. 
Most vegetables should be peeled, trimmed, 
cut or shredded prior to drying.

PRETREATMENT

Blanching vegetables prior to drying is 
recommended. This destroys the enzymes 
that can produce “off” flavours when stored 
and lead to poor texture and poor rehydration. 
Steam blanching is a better method than 
water blanching because more flavour and 
vitamins are retained. Vegetables can also be 
microwaved.

STEAM BLANCHING

Layer prepared vegetables in the top portion of 
a steamer or a steamer insert and steam until 
the vegetables are heated through, but are not 
cooked enough to eat (usually 2 to 3 minutes). 
Stir to ensure all vegetables are evenly 
blanched. Quickly transfer steamed vegetables 
directly to drying trays.

MICROWAVE BLANCHING

Microwave ovens can easily be used to blanch 
fresh vegetables. Prepare vegetables the same 
way as for steam blanching. Place vegetables 
in a covered casserole dish with a small amount 
of water (refer to your microwave oven cooking 
chart). Cook for ¼ to 

1

3

 the time listed in the 

chart, stirring after half of the blanching time. 
Vegetables blanched in a microwave will be 
more brightly coloured than those that are 
steam blanched. Quickly transfer blanched 
vegetables directly to drying tray.
