TO DEHYDRATE FOODS
NOTE
•
For best results, set a lower temperature for thinner/smaller pieces of food or for
smaller loads, and a higher temperature for thicker/larger pieces and larger loads.
The temperature knob can also be used to decrease the temperature as the food
nears the end of its drying cycle to allow more control over the final moisture level.
NOTE
1. Place pre-treated ingredients onto the drying trays. Do not overload the trays and/or have
ingredients overlap.
2. Slide the loaded trays into the food dehydrator. Ensure that the Drip Tray is loaded at the
bottom of the unit.
3. Slide on the Front Cover.
4. Ensure at least an inch of clearance on all sides of the food dehydrator for ventilation.
5. Plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
6. Press the Power button. The digital display will show “10:00”. This starts the dehydrator.
7. Press the Temp button and then adjust with “+” or “-“ to get the desired temperature.
•
For smaller ingredients, fit the mesh insert onto a drying tray to prevent pieces
from falling through the holes.
8. Press the Timer button and then adjust with “+” or “-“ to get the desired cooking time.
9. Your dehydrator is now in operation. Check the status of the food periodically.
10. When the timer has reached “End”, the dehydrator will beep several times and shut off.
Unplug the power cord.
11. Allow finished food items to cool, and then enjoy!
