OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place clean food into the trays. – Do not overload the trays and never overlap the food. Close
the cover.
Note: Always start to load the food from the bottom tray to the top tray.
2. Connect the power supply. Turn on the switch then adjust the temperature.
Note: Set low temperature for thin/small pieces of food or for a small load of food. Set high
temperature for drying thick/big pieces of food and large loads. The thermostat can also be
used to decrease the temperature as the food is near the end of its drying cycle making it
easier to control the final moisture level in the food.
3. Close the cover. Place the cover on the top of the first working tray and press the power
switch to ‘I’ position – the indicator light will light up red.
Note: Ensure that the fan base is always in place when operating the dryer. If you do not
have time to dry all the food in one day, you can dry them the next day. In this case, you
should store the food in a container/polyethylene bag and put it in the freezer.
4. Turn off the appliance (press the power switch to the ‘O’ position) when you have finished
drying the food. Allow the food to cool. Store the food items in polyethylene bags or food
containers and place in the refrigerator (See “STORAGE” section for more information).
5. Unplug the appliance from the power point.
Note: It is recommended to stack at least 3 working trays, whether you have food on them
or not.
TIPS
• This dehydrator includes 5 stackable transparent trays and an overheat protection. The base
contains heating elements, motor, fan and thermostat.
• The air vents on the tray allow air to be circulated.
• Using a controlled heat temperature, air is circulated from the base of the dehydrator to
each of the five trays. The cover helps remove moisture from food.
• Depending on the moisture inside the food itself and the humidity in the air, drying
operation time can vary. Use the dryer in a dust free, well ventilated, warm and dry room.
Proper air ventilation is also important.
• Fruit and vegetables dried in your food dehydrator will be different in appearance from
those sold in health food stores and supermarkets. This is because the appliance uses only
natural additives without preservatives & artificial coloring.
• Records of humidity, weight of produce before and after drying times, will be helpful to
improving your drying techniques for the future.
