FOOD PREPARATION
Before dehydrating, follow the below steps:
1. Wash the food.
• Note: do not place wet food into the appliance; dry them with paper towel beforehand.
• Do not place wet food trays into the appliance.
2. Remove redundant food parts (e.g. hull, cut out cores, etc.).
3. Slice food and place on the trays so they do not block the air flow.
• Dehydrating time depends on thickness of the food pieces.
• To shorten the preparation time, shuffle the trays positions. Move top trays to the
bottom while bottom trays to the top. Some fruits consist of natural coating, which
will prolong the dehydrating process. In order to avoid that, put the food into boiling
water for about 1-2 minutes before processing them in food dehydrator, then place
them into cold water and dry (e.g. with paper towel).
