centre of the manufacturer for replacement. Do not use the appliance with a damaged power cord or plug. The power cord or plug
cannot be repaired and must be replaced with a new one that is free of defects if these components are damaged. Replacement
of the power cord and plug must be carried out by an authorised service centre of the manufacturer.
Instructions for the use of the appliance
WARNING! The appliance housing can be hot during and shortly after use. Do not touch it, as it may cause burns. Allow the
appliance housing to cool down.
Food should be cut into small pieces before placing it on sieves. The smaller the pieces of food, the faster they can be dried and
the lower the drying temperature required.
Food should always be placed starting from the bottom sieve. Do not arrange the products too tightly to allow air circulation. Only one
layer of food should be placed on one sieve. Products placed on the sieve should not touch the sieve or the housing placed above them.
Make sure that the fl oor near the appliance is not slippery. This will prevent slipping, which can cause serious injuries.
The appliance must be kept under supervision at all times during operation. Before checking the degree of drying of food, stop
appliance operation, unplug the power cord from the socket, wait until the product housing cools down and then open it.
If, after drying, food residues remain on the sieves or housing, they should be removed before new food is placed on the sieves. If
food residues remain on the sieves and/or housing, air circulation may be impaired and the appliance may overheat. Overheating
can lead to damage to the appliance or cause fi re or electric shock. Clean the appliance according to the instructions in section:
"Appliance maintenance"
APPLIANCE OPERATION
Installation, start-up and operation of the appliance
The appliance must be unpacked and all parts of the packaging completely removed. It is recommended to keep the packaging,
as it can be helpful for further transport and storage of the appliance.
Prepare the appliance according to the instructions specifi ed in the "Appliance maintenance" section.
Pl acing the sieves
The lowest sieve should be mounted on the base so that the edge of the sieve lies on the base around the entire circumference (II).
The sieves can be placed in two positions: high and low. When placed in the high position, the distance between the sieves is
larger. When placed in the low position, the distance between the sieves is smaller. This allows to adjust the space between the
sieves to the size of food pieces and the drying effi ciency. Greater space between the sieves improves air circulation and drying
effi ciency. In the set of sieves arranged on the base of the dehydrator, the space can be arranged freely, depending on the needs.
It is recommended to use at least three sieves, regardless of whether they contain food or not. The sieves should always be cov-
ered with a lid. The use of the lid forces proper air circulation inside the appliance.
In order to place the sieves in the high position, the sieve should be turned horizontally by 180 degrees in the direction of the
"Tall" mark placed on the sieve handles. In this position, the guides of the top sieve will rest on the guides of the bottom sieve (III).
In order to place the sieves in the low position, the sieve should be turned horizontally by 180 degrees in the direction of the "Short"
mark placed on the sieve handles. In this position, the guides of the top sieve will be next to the guides of the bottom sieve (IV).
The sieves must be parallel to each other and to the base.
Caution! It is recommended to test the position of the sieves before placing food on them. This will allow to gain experience and
make it easier to place sieves with food on them.
Sieve handles should be in line and always placed on the sides of the base. The shape of the sieves was made so that it is pos-
sible to place them only in the correct position.
Placing food on the sieves
Caution! It is recommended to place food on sieves disassembled from the base. Place the products in one layer. Do not place food
on the base or lid. Do not cover the central opening in the sieves. Mount the sieve with food on the base, place the sieves on the
lower sieves in the high or low position so that the food placed on the lower sieve does not come into contact with the upper sieve.
St arting and stopping the appliance
Make sure that the base switch is not pressed and that the temperature adjustment knob is turned counterclockwise as far as it
will go (V).
Put the power cord plug in the socket. Press the ON/OFF switch, the indicator will light up, which means that the appliance has
been started. The sound of a working fan should also be heard.
Set the drying temperature by turning the temperature adjustment knob. If the knob remains in its initial position, the air fl owing
through the dehydrator will not be heated.
Drying can take up to several hours.
Switch off the unit by pressing and releasing the ON/OFF switch. Turn the temperature adjustment knob counterclockwise as far
as it will go. Remove the power cord plug from the socket. Allow the sieves to cool down and proceed with their disassembly,
