Oven Modes - Dehydrate (some models)

DEHYDRATE

Convection Roast Chart

Dehydrate dries with heat from a third element behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.

Dehydrating is used to dry and/or preserve foods such as fruits, vegetables and herbs. This mode holds an optimum low temperature (100° F - 160° F) while circulating the heated air to slowly remove moisture. For Best Results:

•Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140° F. Dry herbs at 100° F. (Refer to the Dehydrate Chart for examples).

•Drying times vary depending on the moisture and sugar content of the food, the size of the pieces, the amount being dried and the humidity in the air. Check food at the minimum drying time.

•Multiple racks can be used simultaneously. Contact your Bosch dealer for drying racks.

•Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.

•Consult a food preservation book, county Cooperative Extension Office or library for additional information.

The door must be open during the Dehydrate mode. Prop the door open at least 1" by placing an object (i.e.; wooden spoon) in the upper corner between the door and the side panel. Be careful that the object does not touch the oven gasket.
