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.
PRECAUTIONS
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.
GENERAL DRYING GUIDELINES
CAUTION:
When handling raw meat of any kind, clean and disinfect all cooking and
preparation surfaces, tools, and cutting boards before and after use.
Experiment with different drying temperatures and thickness of meats or produce.
You will determine what works best for your particular needs and preferences. Use the
following guidelines:
1. To produce a quality dried product, it is necessary to work quickly when preparing
foods for drying.
2. Make sure to spread all foods evenly on the trays and in single layers. If care is not
taken to prevent overlapping of food, the areas that are overlapped will take twice
as long to dry.
3. Foods placed in your dehydrator need to dry continuously at the recommended
temperatures. Do not turn off your dehydrator until all food is dried. Do not leave
partially dried food on the trays which will result in spoilage.
4. Do not add additional food to a batch of already partially dried food. It will slow the
rate of drying for both products.
