a.Roasting times are approximate and may vary depending on shape of the meat.

b.Stuffed turkey requires additional roasting time. The minimum safe temperature for stuffing in poultry is 165°F.

Dehydrate

The dehydrate mode dries with heat from an electric element behind the back wall

 

of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. Use

 

dehydrate 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. The oven will stay on for 48 hours before

 

shutting off automatically.

 

Note: The lower burner operates at the begin-

 

ning of this mode. This is normal.

 

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 drying racks (not included) can be used simultaneously. Contact your

 

dealer to order drying racks.

 

• Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.

 

• Consult a food preservation book, county Cooperative Extension Office or

 

library for additional information.
