HOMCOM 800-230V70 Instruction Manual page 3

● The appliance includes a short power cord, so it does not get entangled or tipped over
during use. To use an extension cord, ensure it is rated 5 amps or more. Do not use an
extension cord that is longer than necessary.
● This appliance has a polarized plug – one blade is wider than the other. As a safety
feature, there is only one way to insert the plug into a polarised outlet. If the plug does
not fit into the outlet properly, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify this safety feature.
● If the power cord is damaged, in order to avoid danger, it must be replaced by
professionals from the manufacturer, its maintenance department or similar
departments.
● This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning used of the appliance in a
safe way and understand the hazards involved.
● Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be
made by children unless they are older than 8 and supervised.
● Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years.
● The appliances are not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or
separate remote-control system.
GENERAL OPERATING TIPS
● Place the appliance on a flat, dry and stable (not carpeted) surface.
● Prepare foods according to the instructions given in this manual and fill the drying
trays. NEVER cover the centre hole in the trays or the vents on the top lid.
● Make sure the drying trays are securely nestled on top of each other and the unit's
base.
● Plug the power cord into any standard 230-volt household outlet.
● Refer to the tables for advice on how to dehydrate and store food.
Tray rotation
Inspect drying trays periodically. Rotate trays if the food you are drying requires it.
Remove all the trays as a unit, then remove the lid. Place the top tray on the base,
followed by the next uppermost tray, until all trays have been rotated.
Care and maintenance
After each use, clean the drying trays and dehydrator lid with warm soapy water. Do not
wash trays, lids or the base in a dishwasher. Remove stubborn stains by soaking
and/or using a plastic scrubber. Do not use abrasive materials or solvents for cleaning
the plastic. To clean the dehydrator's base (the bottom part with the motor and heating
element), unplug and wipe clean with a damp sponge or cloth. Never immerse the base
in water or allow liquid to come into contact with electrical parts.
Storage
After cleaning the dehydrator, dry all parts, stack trays on the base and store in a clean
and dry location.
