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 8 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.
  • Page 10 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Remove the racks from the dehydrator. 2. Load the dehydrator racks with the items to be dried. Position the pieces so they do not touch each other or overlap. Allow ample space between the product for proper air circulation. Remove any extra moisture from the food.

  • Page 11: Unit Storage

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION 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 12 RE - HYDRATING Dried foods do not need to be re-hydrated for consumption. Many people prefer them in their dried state. If you want to rehydrate your food, the basic guidelines are to soak food in unsalted water for 3-7 minutes and then prepare as usual.
  • Page 13 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.
