Introduction

The process of dehydrating fruits and vegetables is one of the earliest
methods of food preservation known. Prunes and grapes have been
sun-dried since the early days of their cultivation. Dried fruits and
vegetables make great snacks or desserts, and they can also be added
to, or mixed with, other foods. Meat can also be dehydrated to make
beef jerkies. Dehydrating foods is a healthy way of preserving them,
because the removal of liquid inhibits the growth of bacteria.

Food Dehydrators are an innovation in food preservation, and they have
made the process of drying foods easy and fun. Use your food dehydrator
to dry all types of fruits, vegetables, nuts and herbs and to make beef
jerkies.  You can even use it to dry flowers and make potpourri. 

Before using your food dehydrator, take time to read all safeguards
and instructions in this Use and Care Guide.
