ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONS
IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ & UNDERSTAND all of the instructions and
safeguards prior to using the Dehydrator.
1. Operate the Dehydrator on a clean, dry and level surface.
2. Plug the Dehydrator into a standard 120 Volt, 60 Hz wall outlet.
3. Position the Dehydrator at least 6” (15 cm) from any wall during operation to
allow for proper air circulation. WARNING! DO NOT block the air vents at the
rear of the Dehydrator.
4. Adjust thermostat to setting desired.
5. Turn the Dehydrator “On” (-). When “On”, the light should illuminate the
Power Switch.
6. Preheat the Dehydrator for 5-10 minutes before loading food onto the
Dehydrator Trays.
7. Remove any excess water from the food. (This can be done by patting
the food with a paper towel or napkin.) Excess moisture may cause the
Dehydrator temperature to drop.
8. Load the Dehydrator Trays with the items to be dried. Position the pieces
so that they do not touch each other. Do not overlap or allow the product to
touch. Allow ample space between the product for proper air circulation.
NOTE: Water droplets may form on the surface of some products while
dehydrating. These can be removed by blotting the product with a clean towel
or paper towel.
NOTE: Drying times may vary depending on several factors including relative
humidity, air temperature and product thickness, temperature and fat content.
NOTE: Tray rotation may be necessary.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CHOOSING FOODS
• Use the best quality foods. Fruits and vegetables in peak season have more
nutrients and more flavor. Meat, fish and poultry should be lean and fresh.
• Do not use food with bruises or blemishes. Bad fruits and vegetables may
spoil the entire batch.
• Always use lean meat. Remove as much fat as possible before dehydrating.
NOTE: Use a paper towel under meat when dehydrating to absorb fat.
