FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SPECIAL CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A shot power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical
rating of the extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer
cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children
or tripped over.
NOTICE: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug is intended to t into a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do
not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

INTRODUCTION
The dehydration of fruits and vegetables is one of the
earliest methods of food preservation. Since their discovery
and cultivation, plums and grapes have been sun-dried into
prunes and raisins. These dried fruits and vegetables make
great snacks or desserts, and it’s easy to dehydrate
different meats to make jerky. Dehydration is a healthy way
of preserving food because bacteria growth is inhibited by
the removal of moisture. You can even use your food
dehydrator to dry owers and make potpourri! Before
using your food dehydrator, be sure to take time to read
the “Important Safeguards” and all other instructions in
this manual.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is meant for household use only. First,
place it on a level surface, and then insert the plug into a
120V rated electrical outlet. Do not use any other rated type
outlet. This food dehydrator has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). To reduce risk of electric shock, this
plug is intended to t into a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug and
try again. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. Attempting
to defeat this safety feature may result in damage to the
plug or the outlet.
The food dehydrator is equipped with a short power-supply
cord, reducing the risk of tangling or tripping over a longer
cord. Extension cords can be used with the proper attention
paid to safety concerns. When using a longer, detachable
power-supply cord or extension cord, the marked electrical
rating of the extension cord should be the same or greater
as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord
should not drape over the countertop or table where children
could pull it or it could be tripped over unintentionally.

BEFORE USING
1. Unpack the food dehydrator with care.
2. Wash all of the dehydrator trays and lid in warm,
soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely.
3. Wipe the dehydrator base with a clean and dry soft
cloth or sponge. Never immerse base, plug or cord in
water or any other liquid.
USAGE
1. First, ensure the unit is turned to the OFF position and
unplugged before preparing to use.
2. Wash the trays and lid before each use to prevent
food contamination.
3. Place the base on a at, smooth countertop surface.
4. Prepare food to be dehydrated as instructed, depending on the type of food; never overlap food or overload
trays.
5. Arrange food on trays, stack up the trays, and set
them aside.
6. Trays can accommodate a variety of food sizes with
small adjustments.
7. Plug unit into electrical wall outlet. Set control knob to
desired setting.
8. Place stacked trays on base and cover the top tray with
the lid. Then allow the food to dry for the recommended
length of time (drying time depends on the food type).
9. Top lid vent holes must be kept clear of any objects.
10. Monitor the food while it is dehydrating and check it
for desired doneness. It may be necessary to rotate
the racks during drying as bottom racks will dehydrate
faster than top racks. Once cooled, remove individual
pieces and store in food-safe containers or plastic
bags, preferably airtight. Leave the pieces that are not
yet done in the dehydrator and monitor them until done.
11. Store the pieces that are not going to be eaten in the
next few days in the refrigerator. When storing food in
4
the freezer, use containers or bags designed specically for freezer storage.
12. Switch the unit to OFF and unplug after using.
13. Wash the dehydrator trays and lid after each use. Wipe
the base with a soft, slightly damp cloth or sponge;
never let water or any other liquid get into the base. Be
sure the trays and lid are completely dry before storing
them back on the base.
NOTE: Any other servicing should be performed by an
authorized service representative.
