3. Stand the trays vertically. Close the lid (1).
Note: Depending on the size of the produce, the trays can be
vertically adjusted by rotating the tray half a turn.
4. Connect the appliance into a socket with a power supply.
5. The 3-setting control switch (3) is used to set the right tempera-
ture for the produce to be dehydrated. Select setting 1 for pro-
duce with a low water content such as herbs, mushrooms, spin-
ach, onions etc., and setting 2, for produce with a moderate
water content e.g. apples, apricots, peaches, plums, etc., and
setting 3, for produce with a high water content e.g. pears,
citrus, etc.
Note: Do not afraid to experiment a bit. You will soon have
a clear idea of which setting is best for your particular
produce.
MAINTENANCE
AND CLEANING
1. Before cleaning or storing, disconnect the ap-
pliance from the power supply and wait un-
til the appliance is completely cooled.
2. Clean the top cover (1) and the air inlet and
outlet with a damp cloth (which should not
be dripping wet).
3. The trays (4) and the bottom tray (5) can
be washed with water and a standard detergent.
Warning: Do not clean trays and the bottom tray in the
dishwasher.
USEFUL TIPS
General rules
! Dehydrating time will vary depending on what
is to be dehydrated, how big and how thick the
pieces are, their water content, how much you
place in the individual trays, on the tempera-
ture and the humidity of the air in the room
where appliance is used.
! To find out whether fruits are properly dry, allow a few pieces to
cool off. They should bend easily, without breaking. Or cut a
piece: no water droplets should form on the cut surfaces. Ad-
equately dehydrated vegetables and herbs feel “hard”, they
should break when bent.
! Do not pulverize herbs before dehydrating.
! It is better to cut vegetables into pieces.
Note: Firm vegetable types should be blanched until semi-
soft before dehydrating. This procedure shortens
dehydrating times and prevents excessive vitamin loss.
