HOW TO DEHYDRATE WITH THE AIR-FRY OVEN +

With its fan, wire racks, and a lower temperature setting than found on most
conventional ovens, the Air Fryer Oven + makes a great dehydrator, perfect for
drying herbs, creating healthy veggie and fruit chips, and making foods lighter
for backpacking. When dehydrating, use the wire baking racks to allow air to flow
around the food.
1. Prepare food for dehydrating.
2. Position drip tray in the bottom slot of Air Fryer Oven + so that it sits above
heating element.
3. Plug in Air Fryer Oven +. The control panel will illuminate.
(If Air Fryer Oven + was already plugged in, the control panel may only show
Start; press Start to illuminate control panel.)
4. Put food on wire rack(s). Put into Air Fryer Oven +, then shut door.
5a. If dehydrating pre-set cooking parameters: Press Dehydrate, then choose
the icon that best represents the food you're dehydrating. This will set the
pre-programmed time and temperature; the auto-stir function will not
come on. The chosen settings will illuminate blue.
5b. If dehydrating with custom cooking parameters: Press Dehydrate. Adjust
the time and temperature by pressing Time/Temp. The chosen settings will
illuminate blue.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6. Press Start; it will illuminate red. Dehydrating will begin immediately. (No need
to preheat unit.) The fan will begin blowing, the heating element on top will
alight, and the clock will begin to count down.
7. Attend to foods as necessary. To check on cooking, simply open the door. The
until will turn off. With protective mitts, switch rack positions or flip or turn
foods as desired. When door is shut, dehydrating and timing will continue.
8. Finish cooking and check for doneness. When the timer reaches 0, the unit
will beep, and the word End will appear on the control panel; the heater will
turn off, but the fan will continue to run for about 30 seconds. Open door. With
protective mitts, remove the rack(s) and check food for doneness. Return the
food to the unit for additional cooking if necessary.
9. Serve and enjoy!
CAUTION: The racks, baking dishes or pans, drip tray, and contents will be HOT
after cooking. Place hot racks(s) on a wire rack or trivet to cool.
