BEFORE THE FIRST USE

After unit transportation or storage at low

temperature it is necessary to keep it for at

least three hours at room temperature before

switching on.

–

Remove all stickers and packaging elements that

can prevent unit operation.

–

Make sure that unit operating voltage corre-

sponds to voltage of your mains.

–

Wash the trays for dehydration (5) and the lid (6)

with warm water and neutral detergent, dry them

thoroughly.

–

Wipe the unit body (1) with a damp cloth and

then wipe dry.

Attention! Never immerse the unit body into water

or other liquids. Provide that water does not get

into the ventilation openings of the unit body.

Using the unit

Note: During the first operation some foreign smell

from the heating element is possible, this is normal.

–

Before dehydration wash the products, dry them

and cut into small pieces.

–

Put the products on the trays for dehydration (5)

providing space for hot air circulation between

the pieces. Remember that hot air should

circulate freely in the trays (5).

–

We recommend that the distance between each

piece of food is approximately 0.5 cm.

–

Install the trays (5) on one another. Install all the

5 trays even if some of them are empty.

Note:

–

If you use very thin slices of products, install the

trays (5) on one another;

–

when dehydrating thicker slices rotate the upper

tray (5) to 180° relative to the bottom tray (5);

–

Cover the trays (5) with the lid (6).

–

Insert the power plug into the mains socket.

–

Set the required heating temperature using the

knob (4). Set low temperature if the pieces are

thin and small or if some trays (4) are empty.

Set high temperature for thick and big pieces

(see chapter «Temperature and duration of

dehydration»).

–

Switch the unit on by turning the power switch (2)

button to the position «I», the light indicator (3)

will light up.

Note: This dehydrator works on the principle of

forced air convection, so the ingredients located

on the lower trays are exposed to hotter and drier

air and so they are dried faster. For the best results

of dehydration we recommend placing moister

food on the lower trays and interchange the lower

and upper trays periodically. Before transposing

the trays switch the unit off by turning the power

switch (2) to the position «0».

–

After the dehydration is finished, switch the

unit off by turning the power switch (2) to the

position «0» and unplug the unit.

Notes:

–

Check food readiness every hour. If products are

dried unevenly, you can turn them or interchange

the trays (5) for more even dehydration.

–

Time of drying for every type of product is set

individually and depends on the quality and

size of the used food products, temperature

and relative humidity of the room. For further

information see chapter «Temperature and time

of dehydration».

–

Let the unit and dried products cool down.

–

Pack the ready products into packages or jars, put

away for storage (see chapter «Storage of food»).

RECOMMENDATIONS

To avoid food intoxication and intestinal diseases

strictly follow the recommendations below.

–

Wash your hands carefully before preparing

products for dehydration.

–

Keep operating surfaces clean. Wash the trays

(5) and the lid (6) with warm water and neutral

detergent after every use. Do not touch the

products with bare hands if you have cuts,

ulcers on your hands or if you have any skin

diseases.

–

Checking the food readiness, do not touch the

products with your hands; use a fork, a spatula

or other kitchen tools.

–

Do not allow pets to enter the kitchen during food

dehydration.

Choosing vegetables and fruits for drying

–

Use only fresh fruits or vegetables.

–

Only ripe fruits are suitable for drying, green

fruits may become acquire foreign flavor.

–

Overripe fruits may change their color after drying.

–

Cut off any rotted parts.

–

Not all vegetables are suitable for drying because

unlike the fruits vegetables contain less sugar

and acid. It is recommended to freeze some

vegetables, for instance broccoli or asparagus,

better than to dry.

–

Vegetables are ready if they are hard and dry.

Preparation of products

–

Wash the products carefully.

–

Remove the stones and rotten parts of the fruits.

–

If necessary, peel off the vegetables skin. Always

peel off the skin if the vegetables are covered

with wax.

–

Remove the fruits stalks.

–

Cut the vegetables or fruits in slices or cubes.

–

Berries or grapes should be dried whole.

–

Dry the greens or spice herbs whole with stems.
