About dehydrate

The dehydrate feature dries with heat from the 
elements. 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°C

Dehydrate may be set with the following options: 
•  Cook time
•  Cook time with end time

See the example below to set dehydrate at the 
default temperature of 120°F.

To add or change any cook settings after this 
feature has started:

•  Select the 

UPPER

 oven. Make temperature 

changes using the + or - keys. Each press of + 
or - will adjust the temperature by 5°F (or 2°C).

•  If changing cooking times, select the 

cook time 

or end time keys needed to make the changes.

About defrost

Setting defrost

Use the defrost feature to thaw small portions of 

delicate items such as cream cakes, frozen cream 

pies and cheesecake at room temperature. While 
in the defrost mode, the convection fan will operate 
to circulate room temperature air around the food 
slowly, accelerating the natural defrosting of the 
food without using heat.

Defrost may be set with the following options:
•  Cook time
•  Cook time with end time

See the example below to set defrost.
