CARE AND CLEANING
Powerhead:
Use a damp soft cloth or towel to remove any dried food residue from the
powerhead unit. Avoid dripping any water or other liquid into electrical parts.
CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE POWERHEAD IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID!
Do NOT remove any parts from the powerhead unit!
CAUTION: Be sure powerhead unit is unplugged before cleaning.
Trays / Base:
Your dehydrator trays are easy to clean. Simply soak in warm water with a mild
detergent for several minutes. A soft-bristle brush will loosen food particles that resist
softening by soaking. Do not clean any parts with scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, or
sharp utensils, as they tend to damage the surface. Trays/Base can be washed on the
top rack of your dishwasher if you remove them before the drying cycle.
