considerably hinder rehydration. Some foods take longer to reconstitute than others.

Carrots and beans require more time than green peas or potatoes. A rule of thumb:

those that take the longest to dehydrate will take the longest to reconstitute. Try not to

use more liquid than necessary for reconstitution because nutrients will be drained

away with the excess water. Place dehydrated food in a container and use just enough

water to cover the food. Add more water later as needed to replace what the food

absorbs.

Care and Maintenance

After each use, clean the drying trays and dehydrator lid with warm soapy water.

Do not wash trays, lid or base in dishwasher.

Stubborn particles may be removed by soaking and / or using a plastic scrubber. Do

not use abrasive materials or solvents to clean the plastic! To clean the dehydrator’s

base (the bottom part with the motor and heating element), unplug the dehydrator and

wipe it clean with a damp sponge or cloth. NEVER immerse the base in water or

allow liquid to flow into the area that contains the electrical parts.

Storage

After the dehydrator is cleaned, dry all the parts and store in a clean and dry place.
