Functions of the device
Drying of foods is carried out using hot air which circulates between the trays. Hot air is generated
by a fan which is driven by an electric motor.
Dried foods contain large amounts of vitamins, as well as fresh foods. The advantage of dried food,
however, is that you can enjoy it throughout the year. It is very important to properly store dried
foods, we recommend use of jars with sealable lid.
Dried foods will visually look different than those you can buy in the store. The structure and color
of the food is different, because it does not contain any preservatives, sweeteners or coloring, only
warm air is used.
In addition to fruits and vegetables, the dehydrator can also be used for spices, flowers or herbs
which can then be used for preparation of healthy tea or can serve as decoration.
Use of the appliance
1. Place the food on individual trays of the dehydrator so that air can easily circulate between the
pieces. For best results do not layer the food pieces on top of each other in the same tray, but
spread them across individual plates next to each other.
2. Place Individual trays on the base of the unit and cover it with the top lid. The lid should not be
removed during the drying process.
3. Plug the dryer into the socket and turn it on using the „ON" button (it will be indicated by a red
LED light) and set the appropriate temperature.
Temperatures:
Herbs: 50°C
Vegetables: 50°C
Pastry: 50°C
Fruits: 50-60°C
Meat, fish: 70°C
4. When the drying process is completed, turn the device off by switching the button to „OFF"
position, and let the products cool down. Afterwards place them into sealable glass jars or other
containers for storage. Dried products can also be frozen in the freezer.
5. Disconnect the appliance from the power outlet.
Note: It is recommended to use all trays during the dehydration, regardless of whether they are
empty or filled with products for drying.
