RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommended settings for food preparation, drying
temperature and time, and yogurt making
Food dehydration time indicated in the tables may be used
for reference only, because time of drying for every ingredi-
ent is set individually and depends on the quality and size of
the used food products, temperature and relative humidity
of the room.
As you master the unit, you will be able to choose the desired
drying time by yourself.
Ready fruit should be soft, without moisture. Overdried fruits
are stored worse and contain fewer nutrients.
Dried vegetables should be hard and brittle.
