DEHYDRATOR PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
Unpack the appliance.
Wash the lid and sections of the appliance with warm water. Wipe all wet parts so that no drops of water remain.
Wipe the appliance base with a slightly damp cloth.
Before connecting the dehydrator to the mains, make sure that your mains specs correspond to its operating voltage.
Place the dehydrator on a flat, stable, hard, and heat-resistant surface. Make sure that the free space around the appliance is
at least 5 cm.
When switched on for the first time the device may emit an odor but this is not due to a fault. To prevent this odor from
passing on to the products, place the dehydrating sections on the base, close the lid and let it run without products for 30
minutes or until the odor disappears. This procedure is necessary only the first time you turn the dehydrator on, then the
smell will disappear.
