Getting Started
Before using your dehydrator for the first
time, wash the trays, top cover, mesh inserts
and fruit leather sheets in warm, soapy water.
Quick Guide
1
Place dehydrator base on a flat, (not carpeted),
dry and stable surface.
2
Be sure the filter is clean and in place.
3
Prepare foods and fill drying trays. Do not cover
center hole in trays!
4
Stack trays on base and place top cover on
dehydrator.
5
Make sure drying trays are securely aligned on
top of each other.
6
Make sure there is at least one inch of clearance
around dehydrator to ensure proper airflow.
7
Consult various tables to determine what tem-
perature/time is neccessary.
8
Plug power cord into any standard household
outlet.

You are now ready to dehydrate.
Care and Maintenance
After Each Use
Clean the trays, top cover, mesh inserts and
fruit leather sheets, (if used), with warm, soapy
water. Soaking and /or using a plastic scrubber
may remove stubborn particles.
Warning
Do not put trays, mesh inserts, fruit leath-
er sheets or top cover in the dishwasher. Heat
from most dishwashers, (on drying cycle), can
cause them to warp.
Do not use abrasive scrubbers, cleaners or
solvents to clean plastic. These will scratch the
surfaces of the appliance.
Do not submerge the power unit / base in wa-
ter. Wipe with a clean cloth.
