Before first use
Read the manual in full and retain for future reference.
Preparing for use
Place the dehydrator on a flat, dry, stable and heat-protected surface. Ensure there is at least 3cm of clearance in all
directions to allow proper ventilation.
For best results, run the dehydrator for 45 minutes at 32°C for remove moisture from appliance before cooking.
Prepare food according to the instructions given in this manual and fill the drying trays. NEVER cover the centre hole in
the trays or the vents on the top lid.
Before you begin preparing your food, wash and dry the trays, the lid and the tray liners, if they are to be used. Place
dehydrator base where you intend to use it for the dehydration process and insure electrical cord reaches an outlet in a
safe manner. This way, as you prepare the food, you can place it right on the trays. As a tray is filled, it can be placed on
the dehydrator for easy setup.
Before loading the trays with food, it is a good idea to make sure that they are all aligned fight-side up by stacking them
up in one place near the preparation area. The narrow side of the tray always is the top. Trays have alignment arrows
cast into the handle. The arrow (as seen below) should all be visible on the top of the tray handles. Improperly stacked
trays will negatively affect the drying process.
Once the trays are all right-side up you can stack them in two different ways. Depending on their orientation to each
other, they can be set for thick or thin foods. To change the stacking height simply rotate a tray 180 degrees to change
whether it is tall or short stacked. Refer to the two photos below to identify the difference between these two heights.
Any combination of stacking can be used to accommodate the foods being dried. An example would be some short tray
stacking for banana chips and some tall stacking for large strawberry halves. When properly stacked, trays will be locked
into each other whether tall stacked or short stacked and in any combination there of.
