• 

Arrange the foods inside the TIERED TRAYS, 
making sure that you place the foods in such a 
way that they do not overlap, and the air is able 
to circulate freely.

CAUTION: Never cover the centre hole in the 
TRAYS or the vents on the VENTILATED LID.

• 

Place the TRAYS into the BASE UNIT and 
put the VENTILATED LID on the top. The 
VENTILATED LID should always be in place 
during operation.

NOTE: Improperly stacked TRAYS will negatively 
affect the drying process.

NOTE: It is recommended that you put all 
sections into the appliance regardless of how 
many are empty.

• 

Plug the appliance into the mains socket.

• 

Turn the TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL 
clockwise from the ‘OFF’ position to turn on the 
Dehydrator.

• 

Use the TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to set 
the desired temperature of the Food Dehydrator 
(ranging from LOW 35°C to a max of 70°C).

IMPORTANT: It is important to rotate the TRAYS 
during dehydration. TRAYS nearest to the bottom 
are exposed to the hottest, driest air, meaning food 
on them will dry more rapidly. You can also turn each 
TRAY 90° to ensure more even drying.

Here is a rotation example:

NOTE: Food of similar size and thickness will dry at 
the same rate.

HOW TO USE

Prepare the foodstuffs which are to be dehydrated accordingly:

Recommended Dehydrating temperatures - 

FRUITS: Wash the fruit. Peel if preferred (artificially waxed fruits should always be peeled) and remove seeds. 
Sort and discard any bruised/molded fruit as this can spoil a whole batch. Slice to desired thickness (the thinner 
the slice the more dried it will be). For best results, some fruits can be preheated to prevent discolouration.

VEGETABLES: Wash the vegetables to remove dirt and bacteria. Most vegetables will require peeling, and for 
the spoiled portions to be removed. Slice the vegetables or shred if preferred. 
Pre-treat by blanching to destroy enzymes which produce bad flavours during dehydration.

MEAT & FISH: Take extra precautions when preparing meat for drying as it is much more susceptible to 
bacteria than fresh produce. Wash hands, surfaces, utensils, chopping boards and crockery before and after 
handling. Slice meat evenly into ¼ thick slices across the grain to increase tenderness.
