INSTRUCTION MANUAL

160 LITER DEHYDRATOR

MODEL NO. 28-0501

80 LITER DEHYDRATOR

MODEL NO. 28-0301

REV 041609

IMP ORT ANT !

This appliance is a Dehydrator, not an oven. Its purpose is to dry, not cook. Dehydrator operation is not the same as that of an oven.

BEFORE dehydrating, heat meat to an internal temperature of 160oF (71oC)

and poultry to 165oF (74oC) in an oven to kill any bacteria that may be present.

Heat the meat or poultry in an OVEN, not the Dehydrator.

Ideally, Set Temperature is only the highest temperature reached during a

heating cycle. Set Temperature is not maintained.

Depending on a variety of factors including ambient conditions, state of food

being dried and power supply, the Set Temperature may not be reached.

For maximum performance: do not use extension cords; operate the Dehydrator in area where the temperature is above 70oF (21oC); remove other appliances from the electrical circuit to which you connect the Dehydrator; make sure the door is fully closed with no gaps in the seal; connect the Dehydrator to an electrical circuit protected by a 20-Amp circuit breaker.

DO NOT use the Dehydrator outdoors.

Read and fully understand all instructions and warning prior to using the Dehydrator.

MARINADING INSTRUCTIONS

In a small glass bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the meat/poultry. Mix thoroughly.

Place a layer of meat/poultry into a glass baking dish, spoon sauce mixture over each layer.

Repeat until meat/poultry is 3-4 layers deep in the pan.

Cover tightly and marinate for 6-12 hours in the refrigerator or overnight. Stir occasionally to

keep the meat/poultry coated in marinade. The longer the meat/poultry stays in the marinade,

the more avor will be absorbed into it.

Remove the meat/poultry from the marinade, removing excess marinade.

Lay the meat/poultry evenly onto the dehydrator trays, leaving 1/4” (0.6 cm) space between

each strip of meat/poultry.

Follow the “Making Jerky “ instructions and the “Food Safety” instructions.
