The appliance can’t be
switched on.
Check the outlet by plugging another properly functioning device
into it. Check the dehydrator by plugging it into another outlet
that has a current.
The machine doesn’t
have a turn switch
The switch presumably fell out during shipment. Look for it in the
packaging. You can put the switch back on by placing the flat side
of the turn switch onto the flat side of the position for the switch.
Press the switch on firmly.
The fan makes a grin-
ding sound.
During shipment, the trays may have been pressed against the
protective grill. First, unplug the power plug. Then take out all of
the trays and blow on the fan’s blade to see where it rubs against
the protective grille. Using thin pliers, you can pull the grille away
from the fan blade.
The appliance doesn’t
heat, but the fan starts
up.
Remove all of the trays and see if a wire is loose. The small elec-
trical connections in the thermostat may have been damaged by
dust particles. Let the fan run and turn the switch back and forth
between the highest and lowest temperature. Leave the switch at
each selected position for a moment. Use one hand to tap firmly
on the back of the appliance behind the switch while turning the
switch with the other hand. Repeat this procedure for at least 30
seconds, with 10-15 turns of the switch.
The screens are missing
The screens (not to be confused with the Teflex Drying Sheets)
are all on the bottom or top tray. The Teflex Drying Sheets, on
the other hand, are not included in delivery, but are available as
additional accessories.
