  • Page 5 INTRODUCTION Drying food for preservation dates back to the Ancient Egyptians. The Spaniards were the first explorers known to use dehydration to prep food for their expeditions. This method was used extensively in the days of the Lewis and Clark expeditions as they charted to the expanse of the Louisiana Land Purchase.
  • Page 6 PRE-TREATMENTS For best results, select the freshest foods available to dehydrate. Note that immature fruits and vegetables do not have as much color and flavor as those that are fully mature. Foods should be dehydrated as soon after purchase as possible. Foods high in sugar such as apples, pears, peaches, and bananas are prone to darken as a result of oxidative stress from sugar.

    CLEANING 1. Clean the racks and interior of the cabinet before using the dehydrator for the first time and after each use. 2. Allow unit to cool before cleaning. Turn the power switch to the OFF position and ensure the electrical cord is unplugged from the outlet. 3.

  • Page 8: Operating Instructions

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Note: Food dehydrators work at high temperatures for extended periods of time. They require air to flow through the unit in order to dry the food evenly. The unit will go through heat stages and cool cycles which will result in the temperature within the unit to fluctuate up to 10 degrees while it is running, this is expected and normal behavior.

  • Page 9: Unit Storage

    UNIT STORAGE Allow unit to cool before storing. Always ensure the unit is OFF and unplugged when not in use. FOOD STORAGE Dried foods should be allowed to condition before being placed into a storage container. Generally, let the dehydrated food stand about 1 week in a dry, well ventilated and protected area.
  • Page 10 FOOD DRYING TIPS • Drying times will vary depending on the room temperature, relative humidity and moisture levels in the food you are drying. If the moisture level is high, the drying time will be longer. • Keep in mind that drying times will be affected by the amount of food placed on the trays.
  • Page 11 JERKY DRYING TIPS • Choose lean meat. Using lean meat will help the meat dry faster and aid in clean up by decreasing fat drippings. Fat is also known to spoil quicker. • Ground meat can be used to make jerky. It should be 80-90% lean. Ground turkey, venison, buffalo and elk are other excellent choices for jerky.
