DEHYDRATE

The DEHYDRATE function combines low, steady heat and maximum TURBO fan power.
Preparing your own dried foods ensures healthy, safe, preservative-free results. Dehydrate fresh,
ripe foods to preserve nutrients and enhance flavor. Your Toaster Oven's automated drying makes
home dehydration both simple and rewarding.
NOTE: Turn food halfway through DEHYDRATE time. To speed up browning, brush lean cuts of meat,
chicken and fish with oil or melted butter.
1. ALWAYS use the mesh Air Fryer/Dehydrator Basket when using DEHYDRATE function.
2. Make sure the crumb tray is in place in the bottom of the Toaster Oven.
