STORAGE

Packaging

DRIED FOODS MUST BE PROPERLY PACKAGED IN ORDER TO KEEP WELL. Package your dried foods in freezer plastic bags, squeezing out as much air as possible. We recom- mend using one of the several models of Deni Freshlock® vacuum sealers or vacuum canisters. Store the plastic bags inside of airtight metal, plastic or glass containers. Storing foods in rigid containers without first putting them into freezer bags exposes the dried foods to air. Call

1-800-DENI-VAC for more information about vacuum packaging. Vacuum sealing will greatly extend shelf life 2-3 times longer than conventional methods.

Storage Containers

Store properly packaged dried foods in a cool, dark place. The cooler the food is kept, the longer the optimal quality will be maintained. For every 18°F drop in temperature, the shelf life increases 2-3 times. If you have room in a refrigerator or freezer, keep your dried foods there. Otherwise, find the coolest place in your home to store dried foods. Light also causes the quality and nutritive value to deteriorate. Keep dried foods in the dark or in opaque

6containers.

SHELF LIFE

Fruits have a naturally high sugar and acid content, which will allow them to dry well and store for longer periods of time than vegetables. When properly packaged and stored at room temperature or below (70°F or less), most fruits will maintain a high quality and nutritional value for up to a year. Most vegetables are best when consumed within six months.

Note: Fruits and vegetables kept beyond the recommended time may not be as nutritious or taste as good, but will not spoil unless the packaging is no longer intact.

HOW TO CLEAN THE DEHYDRATOR

2.To clean the trays and cover, wash them in warm water and soap. Do not use scouring pad or any abrasive cleaners. The trays and cover, but not the tray liners, can be safely washed in the top rack of the dishwasher.
