Drying
Drying is a traditional method of
preserving fruit, certain vegetables and
herbs.
It is important that fruit and vegetables
are ripe and not bruised before they are
dried.
Prepare the food for drying by cutting
it up, and peeling and coring it if
necessary.
Distribute the food for drying evenly
in a single layer according to size
over the rack or the universal tray.
Useful tip: You can also use the
perforated gourmet baking tray, if you
have one.
Dry on a maximum of 2 levels at the
same time.
Place the food for drying on shelf
levels1+3.
If using the rack and universal tray,
place the universal tray below the
rack.
Select Fan Plus.
Change the default temperature and
set the drying time.
Turn the food for drying on the
universal tray at regular intervals.
The drying times are longer for whole
or halved food.

Removing the dried food
Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces.
The steam combination oven gets
hot during operation. You could burn
yourself on the heating elements, the
oven compartment, or accessories.
Use oven gloves when removing
dried food from the oven.

cool down after drying.
Dried fruit needs to be completely dry,
but also soft and elastic. Juice should
not escape when cut.
