DRYING OF FRUIT
Drying is one of the oldest methods of food preservation. Foods contain more or less water, which we
remove in the process of drying. In the same time, we remove the breeding ground for mold and rot. After
proper drying and storage under good conditions, the dried food may be kept and used for several years.
By removal of water from the food, the aromatic compounds would become concentrated and tastier. The
preservation is done in a natural way without using preservatives. There is no destruction of vitamins and
minerals. Even if you are used to preserve foods or freeze them, drying will extend the storage possibilities
for fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, medicinal plants and teas and enrich your culinary skills. Drying of food
on the sun is more a matter of chance in our geographical conditions. When drying food in an electric or
gas oven, which is not designed for drying, there occurs „sweating" or dripping of juices from the foods and
subsequent sticking to the underlaying dish because of insufficient air circulation. Moreover, it is very difficult
to clean the oven from the burned juices.
Your new food dehydtrator is faster and more efficient on the basis of its system, which strictly adheres to the
rules of physics. The intake air flow is evenly heated and distributed in such a way that it removes moisture
from the foods ready in each chamber.
The moist air is taken out through openings in the cover of the food dehydrator. This system allows drying in
all chambers, but for an even drying of of the whole load of the dehydrator it is necessary during the drying
process to change the order of the individual chambers, because the drying intensity is highest in the bottom
EN
chamber. Just before finishing the drying process it is advisable to check the drying quality visually and by
touch. According to judgement, it is possible to sort out the foods and extend the drying time.

USING THE APPLIANCE

We recommend to wash the individual chambers with gentle cleaners before first use or after a longer break
in use.
