trays and top lid of the appliance, according to the "CLEANING" issue
and read how to correctly put the trays on the appliance, according
to the "TRAYS ASSEMBLY" issue.
1. Load your food on the trays.
Remember that hot air, which dries the food, must freely circulate in
the appliance. So do not overload the trays and never overlap the
food.

Note: always start to load the food from the top tray to down one.
2. Assembly all the trays (see "TRAYS ASSEMBLY" issue) and put
the top lid above.
Make sure that the top lid is always on the trays when operating the
appliance.
3. Plug in the appliance - LED-display will twinkle.
When using the buttons, hold them for some seconds.
4. Set the desired temperature on the thermostat (from 40°C to 80°C).
Turn the thermostat clockwise to increase the temperature, and counter
clockwise - to decrease it.
Note: set low temperature and short time for thin/small pieces of food
or for small load of food (such as when only a few trays are loaded).
Set high temperature and long time of drying for thick/big pieces of
food and large loads. The thermostat can also be used to decrease
the temperature as the food is near the end of its drying cycle making
it easier to control the final moisture level in the food.
5. Set the desired amount of time on countdown timer by pressing
the «ТАЙМЕР» button (timer button). The number displayed on the
LED-display represents the amount of hours the appliance will operate
before automatically turning off. Pressing the "ТАЙМЕР" button (timer
button) set the drying time in limit from 1 to 72 hours. To set desired
time faster hold the "ТАЙМЕР" button (timer button).
Dry for the period of time suggested in the corresponding issue.
Note: if you wish to increase/decrease amount of time during the
operation, first press the «ВКЛ/ВЫКЛ» button (power ON/OFF switch)
to turn off the appliance, reset the timer to the desired amount of time
by pressing the "ТАЙМЕР" button (timer button) and then restart by
pressing the «ВКЛ /ВЫКЛ» button (power ON/OFF switch).
6. Press the «ÂÊË/ÂÛÊË» button (power ON /OFF switch) to turn
on the appliance. The LED-display will begin to twinkle indicating the
appliance is running. You will also hear the fan operating. The display
shows the remaining time (hours and minutes) of operation.
Example: if the LED-display shows «2» and then «46» it means that
there are two hours and forty six minutes remaining before the appliance turns off.
Note: If you don't have time for drying all the food one day, you can
dry them next day. In this case, you have to store halfdried food in
food container/PE bag in freezer to avoid food spoiling.
7. After time has ended, the appliance turns off automatically. Or you
can manually stop the appliance operating by pressing «ÂÊË/ÂÛÊË»
button (power ON/OFF switch).

Allow the food to cool. Store the food in PE bag or food container
and place in the refrigerator. (for more information see "STORAGE"
issue).

2) Place the other tray on the first one.
3) Use the same way to place remained trays on the appliance.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF THE TRAYS
The trays might be adjusted in 2 heights - normal and high. Normal
height is necessary for products with thickness up to 2 cm, and high
height - up to 3 cm.
To set normal height, rotate tray clockwise/counterclockwise as to
make the trays be tightly pressed to each other (picture 1).
To set high height, turn the tray horizontally on 180° clockwise /counterclockwise and put it on the previous tray (picture 2).

It is recommended to assembly all 6 trays, whether you have food
on them or not.
Examples:
1) one tray of food is put in the top position with 5 empty trays put
below. Make sure that the top lid is in the place.
2) two trays of food are put in the top and «second from top» position
with 4 empty trays below. Make sure that the top lid is in place.
PRETREATMENT OF FRUIT
Pretreatment of fruit helps to save natural color, taste and flavour.
Here are few useful tips how to properly prepare fruit for drying:
Take 1/4 cup juice (natural will be prefered). Keep in mind, that juice
must match to preparing fruit. E.g. apple juice must be added when
you dry the apples.
Add 2 cups of water to juice and dip pretreated fruit (see "Fruit pretreatment table") for approximately 2 minutes in prepared liquid.

PRETREATMENT OF VEGETABLES
1. Blanching is a hot steam, boiling water or oil treatment for conservation (drying). It is recommended for green beans, cauliflower, broccoli,
asparagus and potatoes. Since these vegetables are often used in first
and second courses, blanching will keep their natural color.
How to blanch: place prepared vegetables in a pot of boiling water
for 3 - 5 minutes only. Strain and pat dry and place vegetables in
the magic dryer.
2. Placing vegetables in lemon juice for approximately 2 minutes
will add a hint of lemon flavor to such vegetables as green beans,
asparagus, etc.
Note: above tips are recommended but not imperative.

PRETREATMENT OF MEAT, FISH, POULTRY AND GAME
Pretreatment of meat, fish, poultry and game is imperative to use and
necessary for customer's health saving. For effective drying use only
very lean meats (without fat).
It is recommended to marinate meat before drying to keep natural
flavor to the meat and also to tenderize it. The marinade should
contain salt, which helps extract water from the meat and also helps
preserve it.
Standard marinade:
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 clove garlic, mashed
2 table spoons of brown sugar
2 table spoons of ketchup
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1-1/4 tea spoon of salt
1/2 tea spoon of onion powder
1/2 tea spoon of pepper
Mix all ingredients well
POULTRY
All poultry must be cooked before drying. Steaming or roasting are
the best methods.
Dry approximately 2-8 hours or until all moisture has been
removed.
FISH
It is recommended to steam the fish before dehydrating or to bake it
(pre-heat your conventional oven to 200°C and bake for 20 minutes
or until fish is flaky).
Dry approximately 2-8 hours or until all moisture has been
removed.
MEAT/GAME
Cook (roast or steam), cut into small cubes and place in the appliance.
Dry approximately 2-8 hours or until all moisture has been
removed.
