USE OF DEHYDRATOR
I. FIRST USE
• Unpack the device and dispose ecologically of all packaging materials. Immediately after unpacking
check the device and accessories for signs of damage.
• Wash the plates before first use thoroughly in lukewarm water with a dishwashing detergent and then
dry them.
• Turn on the device with the power switch. You can see the preset parameters on the display.
10:00 and 45°C. Let the device work for about 30 minutes without any food added. During this first use,
smoke and odor may emit from the device. This is caused by the burning of the thermal winding. This is
a common phenomenon that will disappear after a while. Let the device cool down.
• After first use, wash the tray and the lid again and dry them. Dehydrator is now ready for first use with food.
• Place the prepared and treated food on the re-washed trays. Trays are then placed in the device and
covered with the lid. Drying trays can be placed in two height variants depending on the thickness of
the dried food
• Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet. When the power is connected, you can press the power
switch. Then turn the temperature controller to the desired temperature level and set the time.
• Start the drying process with the start/pause button.
• After half of the time, press the start/pause button to pause the drying process.
• Replace the order of the trays (those placed below, place up and vice versa). Press the start button to
continue the drying process.
• Dry food by type, as recommended in the enclosed tables and tips for setting above.
• At the end of the set drying time,the device automatically switch off and beeps 5 times.
• After drying and cool down, perform maintenance according to the section Cleaning and
maintenance, see below.
II. WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Do not exceed the uninterrupted operating time of more than 24 hours, the functionality and life of
the device may be affected.
2. Each time you finish drying, first reduce the temperature to the minimum, then turn the machine off
and disconnect it from the mains.
3. When the device is powered and on, the LED display is light on and the fan operates.
4. Do not spill water or other liquids into the product. Water may easily condense inside during use.
5. Food should be properly prepared before drying, eg cleaned, sliced, peeled, soaked etc. The
preparation described in the manual helps to preserve the color and taste of the food.
6. Free flow of air must be ensured during the drying process. Do not put too heavy food on plates or
place the food so that it overlaps. Different foods are dried for a different period of time (note: when
the appliance starts to dry, make sure the lid is properly positioned.) If you do not finish drying within
one day, you can put it down for the next day, in which case the semi-dry food is tightly closed in a
container or plastic bag.)
7. To even the drying process, replace the drying order of plates from time to time. (The lower the
temperature is, the higher the temperature and the more effective the drying) Attention, the plates get
warm during the drying process!
8. Always keep the lid closed when drying food, otherwise the drying time, the nutrient content of the
food and the taste will be affected.
