USING YOUR FOOD DEHYDRATOR FOR THE FIRST TIME

Unpack the Food Dehydrator, remove all the packaging materials.
Before first use, wipe the base with a clean damp cloth.
Wash the trays and lid in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Make sure that all parts are clean and dry before assembling the product.
Warning: Do not insert the plug into an electrical outlet, or turn on the appliance before
you have fully assembled it.
Place the base unit on a flat heatproof surface near a socket. It should only be used in a well
ventilated area, at least 30cm away from walls and other surfaces to allow sufficient airflow.

The Food Dehydrator is packed in the box
with the trays stacked down to 20mm
high, you can use them like this when
dehydrating thinner slices of food.
As you stack the trays back onto the base
unit, slot the grooves around the edge of the
tray into the notches on the tray below.
The trays can be stacked in any combination. Always add your food to the top trays and
stack empty trays at the bottom.
Place the lid on the top tray.
PLEASE NOTE: All the trays and the lid must be used with the Food Dehydrator for it to
work correctly, even if the trays are empty.
The Food Dehydrator is now ready to use.

Prepare your food (see A Guide To Temperatures And Timings
on page 11-13), then arrange the food evenly on the trays in
a single layer. Leave the central hole uncovered. There should
be space around the food to allow air to circulate, do not
overload the trays or overlap the food.

The trays can be stacked up to 36mm
high, for drying thicker pieces of food.
As you stack the trays back onto the base
unit, twist the tray around so they sit on top
of each other and the grooves do not slot
into the notches on the tray below.
