ENGLISH

Note: This dehydrator works on the principle of

natural air convection, so the food products located

on the lower trays are exposed to the hottest and

driest air and so they are prepared faster. For the

best results we recommend placing moister food

on the lower trays and interchange the lower and

upper trays periodically. Before interchanging trays

switch the unit off by setting the switch to the posi-

tion «0».

– After elapsing of drying time, nesessary for

selected products, switch the unit off setting the

switch (2) to the position «0».

Note: Drying time for every type of food is set exper-

imentally and depends on the quality and size of

products, temperature and humidity of the room. For

further information see chapter «Cooking duration».

– Let the unit and foodstuffs cool down. Pack the

ready food into packages or jars, put away for

storage (see chapter «Storage of food»).

RECOMMENDATIONS

Food processing

To avoid food intoxication and intestinal diseases

when working with fresh and dried food:

– wash your hands carefully before cooking and

every time you touch anything apart from the

products;

– keep operating surfaces clean;

– wash the trays and the lid with warm water and

neutral detergent after every use;

– try not to touch the products with your hands,

take them with a fork or use spatulas and other

kitchen tools. Do not touch the products with

bare hands if you have any skin diseases or cuts.

– Do not allow pets to enter the kitchen.

Choosing products for drying

Fruit and vegetables must be fresh. Use only ripe

fruit, green fruit become bitter after drying. Overripe

fruit may become black as the result of drying. Cut

off any rotted parts.

Household drying of vegetables requires certain

efforts, because unlike the fruit vegetables contain

less sugar and acid. It is better to freeze some veg-

etables, for instance broccoli and asparagus, than

to dry. Select the vegetables carefully, dry them till

they become soft.

Preparation of products

– Wash the products carefully and cut off all rot-

ted parts.

– Peel off the skin if needed. It is necessary to peel

off most vegetables. Always peel off the skin if

the products are covered with artificial wax.

– Remove the fruit stalks.

– Cut big products into smaller pieces.

– Berries and grapes can be dried whole.

– Dry the herbs whole (with stems).

– If you want to improve the taste and prolong

the storage life of the products, preprocess

them. This is not obligatory. Try drying pre-

processed products and not processed prod-

ucts and decide which way of cooking suits

you better.

Preprocessing of fruit

– You can use pine apple, lemon, orange or lime

juice not to let the fruit fade. Dip the fruit pieces

into the juice for 2 minutes, then let them dry and

put them on the trays for dehydration. You can

use natural juice made of the same type of fruit

that are intended for drying (for instance, apple

juice for apples etc.) to enhance the natural taste

of fruit. Dilute 1/4 glass of natural juice with two

glasses of water; soak the fruit in the solution

for 2 hours.

– Some fruits are covered with protective layer of

natural wax (dates, grapes, cranberry, plums

etc.). To remove the natural wax layer and speed

up the drying of products put them into boiling

water for 1-2 minutes.

Preprocessing of vegetables

Preprocessing of vegetables destroys ferments, that

cause change of taste of products during the stor-

age. Steam treatment or microwave oven treatment

is more preferable than boiling water.

– Put the vegetables on the upper tray of a food

steamer and warm them up for 2-3 minutes. Put

the vegetables on the trays for dehydration as

quickly as possible.

– Put the vegetables into the container, add some

water. Cover the container with a lid and put it

into a microwave oven. Set the time that makes

1/4 of cooking time, specified in the instruction

manual for your microwave oven. After that put

vegetables on the trays for dehydration.

– Put the pieces of vegetables into boiling water

for 3-4 minutes, dry them and put on the trays

for dehydration.

Duration of dehydration

Food dehydration time indicated in the tables may

be used for reference only, because it may vary

according to quality, quantity of food products and

size of pieces. Room temperature and humidity also

affect the duration of dehydration. As you become

more familiar with the food dehydrator you can select

the desired cooking time by yourself.

Ready fruit should be soft, without moisture.

Overdried fruits are hard and rough; they are stored

worse and contain fewer nutrients. Vegetables

should become crisp and hard.
