ADITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
 Wash food products before putting them in the appliance. Do not put wet food
products into appliance, rub them dry.

Do not use the appliance sections if they are wet or have water in them, they need
to be dry

Cut off the spoiled parts of food products. Slice the products in such a way to situate
them freely between the sections. The duration of drying products depends on the
thickness of pieces into which they are.

You can change the position of the sections if the food products on some of the
sections have not dried our as well as others. You can put the upper sections down
closer to power base, and lower sections you can put in place of the upper sections.
 To obtain a quality dried product, you must first ensure that the produce to be dried
is of the highest quality available, both fresh, and fully ripe.

Inferior or spoiled produce will produce a poor dried product. Unripe fruit will lack
the necessary sugar content, and can have a bitter taste when dried, where as over
ripened fruits and vegetables will dry to become either tough and fibrous, or soft
and mushy.

As a rule, you can think “If it’s good enough to eat, it’s good enough to dry”.

The duration of drying can depend on the temperature and humidity of the room,
the level of humidity of products, thickness of the pieces etc.
DRYING FRUIT
* Tree ripened fruit will contain the most natural sugars and will produce the best dried
product.
* Some of the fruit may be covered by its natural protective layer and that is why the
duration of drying may increase. To avoid this, it is better to boil products for about 1-2
minutes and then put them in some cold water and dry them before adding to the appliance.
* Wash the fruit.
* Artificially waxed fruit should always be peeled. Peel other fruit if desired.
* Take out the pit/seed/core and cut off the spoiled parts.
* Slice into pieces which you can place freely between the sections.
* Some fruit can be pretreated for best results to prevent discoloration, see the pretreating
section.
DRYING VEGETABLES
* Vegetables should be fresh and tender.
* Wash the vegetables.
* Peel vegetables if required.
* Take out the pit/seed/core and cut off the spoiled parts.
* Slice into pieces which you can place freely between the sections.
* It is better to boil vegetables for about 1-5 minutes and then put them in some cold
water and dry them before adding to the appliance. This is to destroy enzymes which
produce bad flavours during the dehydration process.
