Food Dehydrator

BEFORE FIRST USE

1.Remove the base unit, 5 food trays, 2 tray liners (for making fruit leather), and 1 mesh tray (for drying finely chopped foods and herbs).

2.Wash trays, liners and cover in warm soapy water. Rinse well. (They can also be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher.)

3.Wash the outside of the base unit with a moist sponge and mild detergent. Do not spill water or other liquids in openings. Do not immerse the base unit in water or any other liquid.

DRYING/SELECTING FOODS TO DRY

Foods to dry should be in prime condition. Because sugar is not added, as it is to canned foods, dried unripe fruits may have a flat, often bitter taste. Tree-ripened fruits have the highest natural sugar and best flavor for drying. Vegetables should be fresh and tender when dried. Avoid overripe fruits and vegetables, and cut away any bruised or spoiled portions. Remember that if it’s perfect for eating, it will be best for drying.

HOW TO OPERATE THE

DENI FOOD DEHYDRATOR

1.Place the base unit on a counter top or other suitable firm surface. Plug the unit into a proper wall outlet. Be certain that the outlet voltage corresponds with the voltage marked on the base unit.

2.Prepare the food, according to its type, as indicated in the drying charts on the following pages.

3.Preheat the dehydrator by turning it on 5-10 minutes before loading the first tray.

4.Arrange food to dry on each of the trays. Remember that it is the hot air circulation that dries the food, so do not overload the trays and never overlap the food. Stack trays with prepared food and place on the base pan. Place the cover in position.

5.Dry for the time period suggested on the charts. Check food frequently (every 1/2 hour) near the end of the drying time and remove individual pieces as they become dry. When foods are all the same size and thickness, they will dry evenly and at the same rate.
