HELPFUL HINTS
Drying times may vary based on many circumstances, including but
not limited to: the relative humidity of the room; the temperature of
the food at the beginning of the drying process; the amount of food
in the dehydrator, the leanness of the meat, etc.
• Wash and clean the dehydrator before using if it has been stored
for a long time.
• Fresh vegetables and fruits are best for dehydrating; canned
goods do not dehydrate well.
• All vegetables and fruits should be cleaned before preparation
and pretreatment.
• Prepare and pretreat fruits and vegetables as outlined in this
manual for best results.
• It is usually not dangerous to leave the dehydrator on for a long
time period when required, but make sure that it is in a safe
location. Read the Important Safeguards in this manual, and
exercise caution when using the dehydrator.
• Keeping your own notes on the type of food, weight before and
after drying, total drying time, and final results will enable you to
achieve the desired outcome, every time!
• Most recipes will work well with dried foods. By experimenting
with the recipes offered in this manual, you will soon discover
your own unique ways of using dried foods.
