Dehydrate - Option 5

(on convection models, closed door)

Dehydration is a method used to preserve food. Various factors, such as the quality of the fresh food, pretreatment techniques, the size and thickness of the food, and the climate may affect the finished product.

During dehydration, heat is used to force out moisture and air circulation is used to carry the moisture away.

Refer to a reliable book or source for complete information about dehydrating and preserving foods.

To Dehydrate:

Position the racks according to the following chart. See “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for diagram.

NUMBER OF RACKS	RACK POSITION(S)
1	3
2	2 and 4
3	1, 3 and 5

1.Close the oven door.

2.Press OPTIONS then 5.

Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than 140°F (60°C). The dehydrating range can be set between 100°F and 200°F (38°C and 93°C).

3.Press START.

4.Press OFF when finished dehydrating.

NOTE: The oven will automatically turn off after 12 hours. However, some foods may take more than 12 hours to dehydrate. If this is the case, the oven will need to be restarted.

Oven Temperature Calibration -

Option 6

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door during cycling may give incorrect readings.

The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. The absence of a minus sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide.
