2. Cut the food into slices, and arrange the slices on drying screens in an even manner. Do not overlap the
slices; there should be a tiny space between them. To allow sufficient airflow, leave at least 10% of the
drying screen surface free.
3. You can improve the airflow and shorten the process by removing empty screens. However, always leave
at least 3 screens in the appliance. Always use the lid.
4. For setting the drying time, press the Time controller (8). A pre-set time 10:00 will appear. To set the preferred
drying time in the interval of 0.5–99 hours, please use the arrows „ ^" or "v".
Press and hold the "^" or "v" buttons to change the settings more quickly.
5. For setting the drying temperature, press the Temperature controller (6). A pre-set temperature of 70 °C will
be displayed. Use the arrows "^" or "v" to set the desired temperature in the range 35 °C – 70 °C. If you set
the lowest possible temperature in this regime, "FAN" will appear on the display. At that time, only the fan
works and the appliance does not dry.
Press and hold the "^" or "v" buttons to change the settings more quickly.
6. After setting the drying time and temperature, press the ON/OFF button (9). The dehydrator will start
working and the display will show the time remaining for drying. Press the ON/OFF button (9) again to stop
the drying at any time you desire.
Note: Once the drying process has finished, the heater is switched off, the fan still operates for about
10 seconds. After that the appliance switches to standby mode.
The height between the drying screens can be set from 1.5 cm to 2.8 cm. To set the height of the drying
screen, turn in by 180° (Fig. 1)
CAUTION! The food must be sufficiently dry to prevent spoiling.

PACKAGING AND STORAGE OF DRIED FOOD
The dried food must be cool prior to storage (otherwise it may steam up and spoil). Wait for about one week
before packing for long-term storage.
We recommend packing the dried pieces in smaller quantities, so that you can use up the whole pack after
opening.
Ideally, store the dried food in sealable glasses, or cloth or paper bags.
CONSUMPTION OF DRIED FOOD
1. The food can be consumed or processed dry.
2. The food can be soaked before consumption or processing as follows:
Pour cold water into a pot, submerge the dried pieces and let them swell in a fridge for 1-8 hours
de-pending on the food type. The volume of food will increase up to double.
To retain the nutritional value of the dried food, you can use the water for cooking and preparation
