HOW TO LOAD TRAYS AND SCREENS
Dehydrator Preparation
• The top tray must always be in the top
position for proper drying.
• All (5) or (6) trays should be used during each
drying, even if some are empty.
• It is best to dry one type of similar food at a
time; for example, all fruits or all vegetables.
• Always leave trays in place until drying is
complete. You may remove food from trays
when desired dryness is achieved.
1. Always place food in a single layer on each
tray for even drying. Do not overlap fruits,
vegetables, or meats. Do not crowd product on
trays. FIGURE 1
2. Use the mesh screen for drying herbs and
small pieces of fruits or vegetables. FIGURE 2
3. If using a mesh screen, place screen in tray
before adding food. For best results, only use
mesh screens in the top two trays. FIGURE 3
4. Use the fruit roll sheet for drying purees from
fruits. FIGURE 4
5. If using the fruit roll sheet, place sheet in the
top tray. For best results, do not use more than
two fruit roll sheets and place in the top two
trays. Always stack the top tray last, before the
lid, for proper drying. FIGURE 5
