+ or – buttons, the time will change rapidly. To reset the time to 00:00, hold down
the START/STOP button.
3. Once you have the desired time and temperature set, press the START/STOP but-
ton to turn the dehydrator on. At any time, you can adjust the time or temperature
by using the TIME/TEMP, +, and – buttons. You can stop the dehydrator at any
time by pressing the START/STOP button.
4. The dehydrator will automatically shut off after the set time has expired, and the
green indicator light will flash. When this occurs, check the food for dryness. If
dehydration is complete, remove food from dehydrator. If additional drying time
is needed, follow the preceding steps 1 through 3 to continue dehydrating.
To Use Count-Up Timer (up to 48 hours)
1. If START/STOP is pressed with 00:00 showing on the timer display, the dehydra-
tor will turn on and the unit will begin counting up in seconds for the first minute.
After 59 seconds, the time is displayed in hours and minutes (HH:MM).

How to Use the Nonstick Mesh Screens
The flexible mesh screens fit into the dehydrator trays to keep foods that get very
small when dried, such as herbs, berries, and carrots, from falling through the tray
grates. The screens may also be used when drying foods that stick to the grates, such
as bananas and tomatoes.
Position the mesh screen on the dehydrator tray. Then place the food you want to
dry on the mesh screen. Once the food is dehydrated, lift the mesh screen out of the
tray, using the cutouts on the side of the screen. Remove food. Bending the screen is
helpful for removing foods that have a tendency to stick.
How to Use the Fruit Roll Sheets
A fruit roll sheet should be used when making fruit rolls and strips from fresh,
frozen, or canned fruit. Refer to pages 8 and 9 for instructions on making fruit rolls.
General Dehydrating Information
CAUTION! To prevent damage to your dehydrator, do not pour liquids, including
marinades and sauces, over the center hub opening or onto any portion of the
drying trays. If you wish to dry liquids, such as spaghetti sauce or fruit purées, a
fruit roll sheet must be used.
Wash hands thoroughly prior to preparing food for dehydrating. Likewise,
thoroughly clean all utensils, cutting boards, and counters that will be used for
preparing food. Wash foods before preparing them for dehydrating.
