About dehydrate
The dehydrate feature dries with heat from
the convection element. The heat is circulated
throughout the oven by the convection fan. Use
dehydrate to dry and/or preserve foods such as
fruits, vegetables, herbs and very thin slices of
meat. The Convection fan may operate while
dehydrating.
The following temperature settings apply to the
dehydrate feature:
• Auto-suggest (default) setting: 120°F / 48°C
• Min. dehydrate setting: 100°F / 38°C
- Max. dehydrate setting: 225°F / 108°O
¢-X_ For best results
• Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140°F. Dry
herbs at 100°R
Drying times vary depending on the moisture
and sugar content of the food, the size of the
pieces, the amount being dried and the humidity
in the air.
. Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.
Tightly woven cooling racks can be used to allow
the air to circulate around the food; or use drying
racks to allow the air to circulate around the food
(this type of oven rack is not supplied with this
appliance).
Consult a food preservation book or library for
information.
