Stacking Trays
Once the trays are all right-side up, you can
stack them in two ways. Depending on their
orientation to each other they can be set for
thick or thin foods. To change the stacking height
simply rotate a tray 180 degrees to change
whether it is tall or short stacked. Refer to the
two photos to the right to identify the difference
between these two stacking options.
Any combination of stacking can be used
to accommodate the foods being dried. An
example would be some trays stacked low for
banana chips and some trays stacked tall for
large strawberry halves.
Before loading the trays with food
it is a good idea to make sure that
they are all aligned right-side up by
stacking them up in one place near the
preparation area. The narrow side of
the tray always is the top. Improperly
stacked trays will negatively affect the
drying process.
