Setting Up The Dehydrator; Filling And Installing The Dehydration Trays - Silvercrest SDA 260 A1 Bedienungsanleitung Und Serviceinformationen


Once food is prepared, it should be dehydrated immediately.

Do not overfill the dehydration trays (2). Otherwise, the air cannot circulate sufficiently and the food is
not sufficiently dried.

Do not interrupt the dehydration process.

Before dehydration, dip the cut surfaces of fruit into lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.

Setting up the dehydrator

The first time you use the appliance, operate the dehydrator with all 5 dehydration trays and
the lid but without food, for approx. 30 minutes at 70 °C. Refer to the section "Using the
dehydrator for the first time" on page 85.
1. Clean the lid (1) and the dehydration trays (2) with warm water and washing-up liquid, and dry
thoroughly.
2. Place the base unit (4) on an even, non-slip and dry surface.

Filling and installing the dehydration trays

Depending on the quantity of food to be dehydrated, you can place between 1 and 5 dehydration trays
(2) on the base unit (4). The dehydration trays (2) can be stacked with a clearance of 2.6cm or 4.7cm,
and are therefore adjustable to the thickness of the food to be dehydrated.
If you stack two dehydration trays (2) inside each other and you notice that the top
dehydration tray (2) is touching the food below, move the upper dehydration tray (2) to a
higher position (see diagram below).
Dehydration trays (2) in higher position
Align the plastic tabs on the inside of the bottom
edge of the dehydration trays (2) with the 4
vertical plastic catches.
Dehydration trays (2)
nested within each other
Rotate the dehydration trays (2) so that the
plastic tabs on the lower edge of the dehydration
trays (2) are positioned next to the 4 vertical
plastic catches.
