BEFORE FIRST USE
WARNING
– Always keep the appliance, its parts, accessories, and
packaging out of reach of children younger than 8 years and animals!
Always unplug the appliance and leave the appliance cool down, before clea-
ning it, and when it is not in use. Do not place or immerse the housing or power
cord in water or other liquids or spill any liquids on or in the housing or power
cord. Do not pour or spill any liquids in the dehydration chamber. Do not use
any abrasive or corrosive cleaners for cleaning to avoid damage to the surfaces.
Do not place the housing or power cord in an automatic dishwasher.
IMPORTANT - The door of the appliance is closed via a magnet. For opening it,
simply pull at the right side.
1. Unpack the appliance and all parts and accessories carefully. For moving the
appliance, it is best to hold it at the handles at both sides. Check that no parts
are damaged or missing (see: 'Knowing Your New Food Dehydrator'). Carefully
remove all packaging, shipping materials, stickers, and promotional materials.
However, DO NOT remove the model label or warning labels.
2. Very first heating: For preparing the heating element of the fan assembly for ope-
ration, let the appliance operate on maximum temperature (75°C) for approx. 10
minutes (see: 'Operation'). Thereafter, cancel operation via the "Start/Stop" button
and wait until the fan stops operation automatically (approx. 10 seconds). Then,
unplug the appliance. Let the appliance cool down completely with the door open.
3. Clean the appliance and its parts, before first use and after a prolonged period
of storage (see: 'Care and Cleaning').

OPERATION
WARNING
– Always ensure that the appliance and all its parts and acces-
sories are out of reach of children younger than 8 years and animals. The appli-
ance is intended for dehydrating (drying) edible food via an electrically powered
heating system. Do not attempt to heat the appliance or its parts by any other source
of heat. Improper use or misuse may cause severe injuries and damage. Do not pour
or spill any liquids onto the housing or into the dehydration chamber of the appli-
ance. However, a few droplets of juices dripping onto the base of the dehydration
chamber during operation, are no reason for concern. Always unplug the appli-
ance, when the appliance is not in use.
During operation: Do not move the appliance. Always ensure that the fan assembly
at the rear of the dehydration chamber and the ventilation slits in the housing will
not be blocked. Additionally, the air must flows unhindered within the dehydrati-
on chamber. For this, food may not hang down from the food trays and at least
1.5cm of free space must be left between the food trays. When loading a food tray
with thick pieces exceeding approx. 2 cm (4/5 inch), leave the shelf above this food
tray empty. The dehydrating performance will be improved by cutting very thick pieces
in smaller slices. Do not place any food onto the base of the dehydration chamber.
WARNING
– You should keep an eye on the appliance, during operati-
on. However, before leaving the appliance operate unattended for some time,
always ensure correct functioning according to the instructions given in this
booklet (see also: 'Important Safeguards'). Ensure that the appliance is always
accessible via a reliable person, who is instructed accordingly.
CAUTION
– After 24 hours of continuous operation, let the appliance rest
for at least 2 hours to avoid damage to the fan assembly.
NOTE
After operation, the fan runs on for 10 seconds. This ensures a long lifetime of
the fan assembly. The appliance is in standby mode, when "00:00" is displayed
1. Prepare your food (see: 'Tips for Best Results'). Dab dry extremely wet food.
2. For moving the appliance it is best to hold it at the handles at both sides. Place
the appliance on a suitable table or counter near an appropriate wall power
outlet. Then, open the door of the appliance and pull the food trays out of the
dehydration chamber. Spread your food on the food trays, leaving some space
between the single pieces to allow unhindered air circulation. Cover the bottom
of the dehydration chamber via the provided plastic tray.
3. Push the loaded food trays into the dehydration chamber. When you do not
need to load all food trays, you should leave the appropriate number of shelves
between the loaded food trays empty. This will improve the air circulation. Close
