GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DEHYDRATOR
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove the base unit, 5 food trays and cover.
2. Wash trays and cover in warm soapy water. Rinse well. (Trays can also be washed in the
top rack of the dishwasher.)
3. Wash the outside of the base unit with a moist sponge and mild detergent. Do not spill
water or other liquids in openings. Do not immerse the base unit in water or any other
liquid.
CARE & CLEANING
1. Turn off the unit.
2. Remove plug from wall outlet.
3. Remove trays from base.
4. Wash trays and in warm water with a mild detergent or on top rack of dishwasher.
5. NOTE: Remove from dishwasher before drying cycle.
6. Wipe the dehydrator base with a soft, damp cloth. Do NOT dip or submerge the base
in water or other liquid.
HOW TO OPERATE YOUR FOOD DEHYDRATOR
1. Place the base unit on a counter top or other suitable firm surface. Plug the unit into
a proper wall outlet. Be certain that the outlet voltage corresponds with the voltage
marked on the base unit.
2. Prepare the food, according to its type, as indicated in the drying charts on pages 8
and 9.
3. Preheat the dehydrator by turning it on 5-10 minutes before loading the first tray. For
pre-heating it is recommended to set temperature at 155F to 165F.
4. Arrange food to dry on each of the trays. Remember that it is the hot air circulation
that dries the food, so do not overload the trays and never overlap the food. Stack
trays with prepared food and place on the base pan. Place the cover on the top tray.
5. Dry for the time period suggested on the charts (pages 8 and 9). Check food frequently
(every 1/2 hour) near the end of the drying time and remove individual pieces as they
become dry. When drying the same food, make sure food is evenly sliced to the same
thickness so food dries at approximately the same rate. Food moisture content and
humidity may effect the drying times.
