TIPS
• Use the best quality foods. Fruits and vegetables in peak season have more nutrients and more flavor. Do
not use food with bruises or blemishes. Bad fruits and vegetables may spoil the entire batch.
• Use the best quality meats. Meats, fish and poultry should be lean and fresh. Remove as much fat as
possible before dehydrating. Do not overlap foods. Lay foods flat on the Trays.
• Check dryness after a few hours, then check every two hours until dehydrated. Open or cut down the
middle if a few samples to check internal dryness. If the food is still moist, dehydrate longer.
• Use the Drying Guide on the Control Panel as reference for proper temperature settings. If the heat is set
too high, the food may case harden, meaning the food is dried at too high of a temperature and the food
was only dry on the outside, not the inside. If the temperature is too low, the drying time will increase.
Remember, foods will shrink approximately 1/4 to 1/2 their original size and weight during the dehydration
process, so pieces should not be kept too small. One pound of raw meat will yield approximately 0.2 kg of
jerky.
Do not place items to be dried on the Drip Tray, there will be no circulation of air on this Tray. Clean the Drip
Tray periodically during dehydration for easier clean-up.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To clean, first remove the power cord’s plug from the wall outlet. Wait for the dehydrator to cool. Use a damp
cloth or sponge to gently wipe down the inside of the unit. Avoid soaking the inside of the dehydrator or
washing it in running water as this will cause serious damage to the unit.
Problem
Solution
The dehydrator does not work after being switched
on.
Make sure dehydrator is plugged in.
Be sure that the timer is set.
Be sure that the temperature control knob is set.
There is a metallic sound when the dehydrator is in
use.
Do not attempt to dismantle the dehydrator.
Contact your service agent right away to examine the
fan.
Food is often over dried or not dried, even when
operate according to the recipe.
Check that the fan motor is operating normally.
Contact your service agent to examine the
temperature control knob.
