ENGLISH
–
Remove all stickers and packaging elements
that can prevent unit operation.
–
Make sure that unit operating voltage
corresponds to voltage of your mains.
–
Wash the trays for dehydration (4) and the base
(5) with warm water and a neutral detergent, dry
them thoroughly.
–
Clean the lid with the motor unit (1) with a slightly
damp cloth and then wipe dry.
Attention! Never immerse the lid with the motor
unit (1) into water or other liquids. Provide that
water does not get into the ventilation openings (3).
USAGE
–
Place the base (5) on a flat steady heat-resis-
tant surface.
–
Install the tray for dehydration with handles on
the base (5), then install the tray without handles
and proceed in the same order. The last installed
tray for dehydration should be without handles.
–
Install the lid with the motor unit (1) on the trays
for dehydration (4).
–
Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
–
Switch the dehydrator on for approximately 30
minutes without food products, to do this set the
operation mode switch (2) to the position «2».
Note: - when the unit is switched on for the first
time some foreign smell from the heating element
is possible, this is normal.
–
Switch the dehydrator off by setting the opera-
tion mode switch (2) to the position «0».
–
Before dehydration wash the foodstuffs, dry
them and cut into small pieces.
–
Put the foodstuffs on the trays for dehydra-
tion (4) in such way to provide hot air circulation
between the pieces of food. Remember that hot
air should circulate freely in the trays for dehy-
dration (4).
–
Switch the dehydrator on by setting the opera-
tion mode switch (2) to the position «1 or 2».
–
If the food pieces are thin and small, use the
dehydration mode «1». For big and thick food
pieces use the dehydration mode «2».
Notes:
–
the dehydrator works on the principle of natu-
ral air convection, so the ingredients located on
the lower trays are exposed to hotter and drier
air and so they are dried faster.
–
for the best results of dehydration we recom-
mend placing moister food on the lower trays
and interchange the lower and upper trays peri-
odically.
–
before interchanging the trays switch the unit off
by setting the operation mode switch (2) to the
«0» position and unplug the unit from the mains,
remove the lid with the motor unit (1) and then
interchange the trays (4).
–
After the dehydration is finished, switch the unit
off by setting the operation mode switch (2) to
the position «0» and unplug the unit.
Notes:
–
check the food readiness every hour.
–
if products are dried unevenly, we recommend
turning them and interchanging the trays (4) for
more even dehydration.
–
time of drying for every type of product is set
individually and depends on the quality and size
of the used food products, temperature and rel-
ative humidity of the room.
–
Let the unit and dried foodstuffs cool down.
–
Pack the ready products into packages or jars,
put away for storage (see the chapter «Storage
of food»).
RECOMMENDATIONS
To avoid food intoxication and intestinal diseases
strictly follow the recommendations below.
–
Wash your hands carefully before preparing
products for dehydration.
–
Keep operating surfaces clean. Wash the
trays (4) with warm water and neutral detergent
after every use. – Do not touch the products
with bare hands if you have cuts, ulcers on your
hands or if you have any skin diseases.
–
Checking the food readiness, do not touch the
products with your hands; use a fork, a spatula
or other kitchen tools.
–
Do not allow pets to enter the kitchen during
food dehydration.
Choosing vegetables and fruits for drying
–
Use only fresh fruits or vegetables.
–
Only ripe fruits are suitable for drying, green
fruits may become acquire foreign flavor.
–
Overripe fruits may change their color after
drying.
–
Cut off any rotted parts.
–
Not all vegetables are suitable for drying
because unlike the fruits vegetables contain
less sugar and acid. It is recommended to
freeze some vegetables, for instance broccoli
or asparagus, better than to dry.
–
Vegetables are ready if they are hard and dry.
Preparation of products
–
Wash the products carefully.
–
Remove the stones and rotten parts of the fruits.
–
If necessary, peel off the vegetables skin.
Always peel off the skin if the vegetables are
covered with wax.
