TRAYS
Your dehydrator’s cover and trays are easy to clean. Simply soak in warm water
with a mild detergent for several minutes. A soft bristled brush will loosen food
particles that resist softening by soaking. Don’t clean any parts with scouring
pads, abrasive cleaners, or sharp utensils, as they tend to damage the surface.
The trays can be washed in the dishwasher.
CAUTION:
Place trays on top rack of dishwasher, remove before drying cycle
or use a no-heat drying setting on the dishwasher. Failure to follow any of the
above recommendations may cause the trays to warp which will result in an
improperly operating dehydrator.
BASE
Your dehydrator’s base contains all of the moving mechanical parts and electrical
components, so use proper care when cleaning. Make sure that the base is
unplugged from the outlet before cleaning. Clean the base with a damp cloth. Do
not use any type of a cleaning chemical on the base.

Follow these safety precautions when dehydrating food:
• Wash hands thoroughly prior to handling any food.
• Make sure all utensils, containers, and countertops are thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected before using.
• Thoroughly clean and disinfect all cutting boards, and/or work surfaces.
• After drying, store dried foods in refrigerator or freezer.
• After opening sealed containers of dried food, consume food as soon
as possible. If mold is found inside a storage bag of dried food, the
whole container must be thrown away.
• Tightly reseal opened containers of dried food and store in the
refrigerator to maintain freshness and quality.
• Do not dry foods that have been prepared with or marinated in alcohol.
• Do not use the trays in a conventional oven or with any other appliance.
• Always use all 5 trays when drying in your dehydrator, even if one or
more trays are empty.
