Hints
This food dehydrator includes 5 stackable racks. The air vents on the lid allow
air to be circulated. Using a controlled heat temperature, air is circulated from
the base of the dehydrator to each of the five racks and removes moisture
from food.
Always use the food dehydrator will all drying racks, even if not all racks are
filled with food. Always operate the food dehydrator with the lid attached.
Evenly spread the food to be dehydrated on the racks. Do not put one upon
the other. Use only to 90% of the rack's space to allow air to circulate freely.
Depending on the moisture of the food itself and the humidity in the air, drying
operation time can vary. Use the dehydrator in a dust free, warm and dry
room. Well air ventilation is also important.
If you notice uneven drying during operation, switch off the dehydrator and
reposition the drying racks. Place the bottom rack on top and vice versa.
Fruit and vegetables dried in your food dehydrator will be different in appear-
ance from those sold in health food stores and supermarkets. This is due to
your food dehydrator uses no preservatives, no artificial colouring and only
natural additives.
Records of humidity, weight of product before and after drying times, will be
helpful to improving your drying techniques for the future.
Storing dehydrated food
Cool down the food before storing as condensation in the container will cause
mildew.
Always make a dryness test. Switch off the dehydrator before taking test
pieces.
The consistency of dried fruits should be soft and pliable when properly dried.
The consistency of dried vegetables should be firm without soft spots.
Dried meat is leather-like.
Dried fish is dry and pliable.
The next day, after storing, check if there is still moisture in the food. If so, dry
the food again.
Preferably use dry containers to store the food. Containers or glass jars with
metal screw lids are ideal for storing dried food. Store fruits in a cool and dry
area and as dark as possible. The ideal temperature for storing dehydrated
food is 5 – 20 °C.
