Drying Instructions #1

P/7

Selecting Food & Loading Tray

Select high quality produce that is ripe and full of flavour for the best results. 

Wash all fruits and vegetables to remove any debris, dust or insects. Cut away 

any bruised or damaged sections.  Lay food pieces evenly onto the trays. Do not 

overlap the food pieces as this may inhibit drying. As each tray is loaded, stack it 

on the dehydrator to begin the drying process.

Drying Time

Drying times will vary, depending on the type and amount of food, the thickness 

of the slices, the percentage of water in the food and the weather when using the 

Dehydrator.

Fan Speed control 

(heat setting) 

There are three fan speed settings that can be used when dehydrating produce. 

This gives you control over the intensity of the heat the dehydrator will produce.

Setting 1 

(Low)

This is for produce with a low water content like mushrooms, spinach, onions etc.

It is also for delicate items like herbs and flowers. 

Setting 2

 (Medium)

This is for produce with a moderate water content, it is suitbale for most types of 

Fruits and Vegetables.

Setting 3

 (High)

This is for produce with a high water content like meat jerky, tomatoes, citrus, etc. 

IMPORTANT: Before each use remove the White Mesh Filter Cover 

by turning it clock-wise. Once this has been remove lift the Stainless Steel 

Mesh Filter out and check that the mesh filter is clear of any dust build-up. 

Wash under warm water if required and dry thoroughly before placing back 

into position. Then reattach the White Mesh Filter Cover.
