TRAY SETUP AND STORAGE
The trays can stack in 2 different positions—one for use which allows space for drying
and one for storage which is more compact. When you open for the first time, trays
will be in the Storage Position. To ready the trays for use, each tray (except the bottom
one) must be individually rotated 90 degrees in either direction with respect to the tray
beneath it. Each tray will sit higher when they are in position to dehydrate food. For
easy storage, just rotate each tray 90° in either direction again until all trays are sitting
in their lower position.
DEHYDRATING
Prepare the food that you intend to dry by slicing in thin and even shapes & sizes. Then
place the food on the trays. Ensure that there is adequate spacing between each piece
of food for the air to circulate.
Put each of the trays on the base in the position that allows more space for drying.
Put the cover on the dehydrator. During drying, the cover should always be on the
appliance.
Plug and turn on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
Set the temperature by pressing the TEMP button. Temperature is shown on the LCD
screen in degrees. Temperature range is from 90 degrees F to 158 degrees F.
Set the timer by pressing the TIME button. Timer range is from 1 hour to 12 hours and
55 minutes.
Adjust the temperature and time by pr (plus) and – (minus) buttons.
When time is up, the appliance will automatically shut off. At any time during the
dehydrating cycle, you can shut off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
Unplug the appliance.
Let the food cool completely before storing.
TRAYS
Your dehydrator’s cover and trays are easy to clean. Simply soak in warm water with a
mild detergent for several minutes. A soft bristled brush will loosen food particles that
resist softening by soaking. Don’t clean any parts with scouring pads, abrasive cleaners,
or sharp utensils, as they tend to damage the surface. The trays can be washed in the
dishwasher.
CAUTION:
Place trays on top rack of dishwasher, remove before drying cycle or
use a no-heat drying setting on the dishwasher. Failure to follow any of the above
recommendations may cause the trays to warp which will result in an improperly
operating dehydrator.
