detergent as needed. Do not wash the BASE in a dishwasher
or immerse it in water or any other liquid!!!
After cleaning the unit must be run in for 30 minutes without
placing any food for drying during this period. Any smoke
or smells produced during this procedure are normal. Please
ensure suffi cient ventilation. After the running in period,
rinse the racks in water and dry all parts. This act is only
necessary for the first time. (DO NOT WASH THE BASE!!!)
Unplug the dehydrator from the power supply and let it
cool down before cleaning. Use a soft brush to remove food
sticking. Dry all parts before storing the dehydrator.
Do not clean the appliance with aggressive chemicals
or abrasives in order not to damage the surface.
Assembling the appliance:
Make sure that the dehydrator sits steadily on a solid, level
surface. Stock the drying racks and connect the plug with
a wall socket. The dehydrator is now ready for use.
Usage Method
1. Put the clean food in the trays. Load your food on the trays
– Do not overload the trays and never overlap the food.
Close the cover.
Note: always start to load the food from the bottom tray
to the top tray.
2. Connect the power supply. Turn on the switch then adjust
the temperature.
Note: Set low temperature for thin/small pieces of food
or for a small load of food. Set high temperature for drying
thick/big pieces of food and large loads. The thermostat
can also be used to decrease the temperature as the
food is near the end of its drying cycle making it easier to
control the final moisture level in the food.
3. Close the cover. Put the cover on the top of the first
working tray and press the power switch to 'I' position –
the indicator light will light up red.
Note: Make sure that the fan base is always in place
when operating the dryer. If you do not have time to dry
all the food in one day, you can dry them the next day.
In this case, you should store the food in a container/
polyethylene bag and put it in the freezer.
4. Turn off the appliance (press the power switch to the '0'
position) when you have finished drying the food. Allow
the food to cool. Store the food items in polyethylene
bags or food containers and place in the refrigerator.
(See "STORAGE" section for more information).
5. Unplug the unit from the power point.
Note: It is recommended to stack at least 3 working trays,
whether you have food on them or not.
