Before first Use

Preparing the Food
• Always ensure that the food is in date and of good quality.
• It is best to use tree-ripened fruits as they contain the highest natural sugar content.
• Do not use over-ripe or rotting fruits and vegetables, if the food has bruised or discoloured parts, please
remove the discoloured section before dehydrating.
• Some fruits such as apples, pears and apricots are pre-treated to slow the loss of vitamins and also to pre-
vent discolouring. Always thoroughly wash food to ensure it does not contain dirt, bacteria and other harm-
ful substances.
• It' s optional to peel fruit and vegetables before drying them. The peel can become tough during the drying
process; however it is down to your personal preference.
• It may be necessary to steam/ blanch vegetables before drying them, this is due to the different textures
of the vegetables.
