BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove all packaging from your dehydrator and its accessories. Make sure all package
contents are included.
2. Clean the trays with a moistened cloth.
3. Place the dehydrator base on a solid, level surface. Plug in. Stack the drying trays in the
dehydrator.
4. Run the dehydrator for 30 minutes on the maximum temperature, without adding any food.
Make sure that the room has sufficient ventilation, in case the dehydrator produces any
smoke or smells. This is normal.
5. Rinse the trays in water. Dry all parts.
NOTE: You only need to do this the first time you use the dehydrator.
DRYING TIPS:
Drying time for pre-treatment fruit will vary according to the following factors:
1. thickness of pieces or slices
2. number of trays with food being dried
3. volume of food being dried
4. moisture or humidity in your environment
5. your preferences of drying for each type of dried food
It is recommended to:
• Check your food every hour.
• Label food with contents dried, date and weight before drying. It will also be helpful to note
the drying time for future reference.
• Pretreated food will give the best effect in drying.
• Correct food storage after drying also will help to keep food in good quality and save the
nutrients.
