FEATURE OF THE DEHYDRATOR
This unit uses a built-in fan and heating element
to produce a warm airflow. This generates a
drying process for any kind of food you put inside
the unit. Dried foods are great for snacking as
they retain almost all of their nutritional value and
flavor.
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Before using the appliance for the first time,
clean the trays with a damp cloth and a little
detergent. Rinse and dry them afterwards.
2. After initial cleaning, let the unit run for about
30 minutes without placing any food in it.
Smoke or odors generated during this process
are normal. Please ensure sufficient ventilation.
OPERATION
1. Place the appliance on a flat, level surface.
2. Put the desired food in appropriately sized
pieces in the trays. Do not overload the trays
and never overlap the food.
3. Insert the filled trays into the unit.
4. Close the door.
5. Connect the appliance to the power outlet. A
'beep' sounds and the display shows "OFF".
6. Press the [ON/OFF] button.
7. Set the desired dehydrating time by pressing
the [TIMER] button and adjust it with the [+]/[-]
buttons.
(Default: 10:00 | Full range: 00:30-24:00,
adjustable in 30 min steps)
8. Set the desired temperature for dehydrating by
pressing the [TEMP] button and adjust it with
the [+]/[-] buttons.
(Default: 70°C | Full range: 35-70°C, adjustable
in 5°C steps)
9. After setting the time and temperature press
the [ON/OFF] button to start the dehydrating
process.
10. The time on the display will start to count
down. When the time is up, the unit
automatically stops, beeps 5 times and displays
"End".
11. Press the [ON/OFF] button again to switch the
unit to "OFF" mode.
Note: If no input is made within 5 seconds when
setting the time and temperature, the unit will
return to standby mode and displays "OFF".
DRYING TIPS:
The drying time varies according to the following
factors:
1. Thickness of pieces or slices – (The thinner the
slices are cut, the faster the demanded drying
level can be reached)
2. Number of trays filled with food
3. Volume of food being dried
4. Set temperature level
5. Humidity in your environment
6. Your personal preference for the degree of
drying
Recommendations:
• Check your food every hour.
• Rotate and/or re-stack the trays if you notice
uneven drying.
