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.

Recommendations and Tips

Always wash the products before inserting them into the dehydrator but do not start the unit while
the products are wet, let them always drain thoroughly or wipe them dry.

Fruits and vegetables can be cut into pieces to in order to achieve a faster dehydration.
Individual trays with products can be swapped, but always stop the drying process before you re-

move the lid and swap the trays. Swapping the trays (e.g. swapping top and bottom tray) isimpor­tant especially if you are using different products on individual trays. Each product has a different
drying time and products closer to the fan will be dried faster.

Fruit drying time is only approximate, the ideal time always depends on the shape, thickness
andmoisture content of each fruit piece.

Drying of fruits

• Wash the fruit

• Remove the seeds and cut off the rotten parts. You can also remove the peel

• Cut and place the pieces onto individual trays

• You can add for example a slice of lemon or orange, this will freshen up the fruit. You can also

add coconut or cinnamon

Drying of vegetables

• Wash the vegetables

• Remove the seeds and cut off the rotten parts. You can also remove the peel

• Cut and place the pieces onto individual trays

• You can boil the vegetables for 1-5 minutes before drying, rinse it with cold water and let it

drain thoroughly

Drying of herbs and plants

• Pick the plants before or while blooming and make sure it is fresh. Do not use dried-up, ordis­colored (yellowish) plants.

• After drying keep the plants in a dark, cool place such as in jars or paper bags.

Storage

• Storage containers must be well sealed, clean and dry.

• It is recommended to place the containers in dark cold room in a dry place.

• Approximately one week after drying it is recommended to check whether there is any moisture

in the containers. If so, the products are not well dried and the dehydration process has to be
repeated, as there is a danger of mold growth.

Important! Always let the dried products cool down thoroughly, do not put them into containers
while they are hot.

Drying of fruits

Tip: Before drying fruits it is recommended to squeeze some fruits and put the pieces which you

want to dry into the juice for about two hours.
If you do not have a powerful blender, juicer or grinder, you can use a substitute such as fruit juice

from the store (in case of drying apples use apple juice, in case of drying pears, use pear juice, etc.)
