Chapter IV Operations of Products and Notes for Attention
I. Operation
1. Prior to first use of the dehydrator (electric dryer), clean the hopper, and wipe it off with dry cloth.
2. Put the pre-treated food on each layer of the hopper evenly, put the hopper with the food on the bottom
seat of the product, and put on the upper cover.
3.Plug the power cord into the socket, turn on the power and press the power button, and turn the
temperature adjustment knob to desired temperature.
4. Dry the food according to different food and personal taste.
5. After drying of the food is completed, adjust temperature to the minimum, turn off the power switch and
pull off the plug.
6. After the work is done, clean the hopper and juice accumulation plate and so on.
II. Notes for Attention
1. The long time for each use shall not exceed 72 hours to avoid affecting service life of the whole
machine.
2. After each use, adjust the temperature knob to the minimum, turn off the power switch and pull out the
plug.
3. When the product is connected to the power and in normal use, the red indicator of the switch and the
fan shall be in their working state, namely, the red indicator shall be on and there shall be evident air
blowing from the air outlet on the steam cover.
4. No water or any other liquid can be added into this product, and a few water drops on the food inside
the container are allowable.
5. While the food is being dried, keep hot air inside the machine circulating naturally. Do on put any
over-heavy food in the hopper, and food cannot be placed in an overlaying way. The drying time for
different food is different (Note: when the machine starts working, ensure the upper cover is in its correct
position. If the time for drying the food is not enough within a day, the food can be dried on the next day.
In this case, seal up the food that has not been dried in a container or a plastic bag).
6. The temperature on the baking bucket is the highest when the product is running, in order to make food
drying more uniform; steam stent position should be regularly exchanged.
7. After the food is dried, if it is not eaten, it shall be sealed up in a container or a plastic bag promptly for
storage, and it is recommended being stored in a refrigerator.
8. After the product is used, no matter there's any food in the hopper or not, it is suggested that all the
shelves be placed on the product after they are stacked properly.
9. The food shall be placed on the uppermost layer of the hopper to the ones downwards. After the food is
placed properly, put on the cover properly, otherwise, drying time and the flavor of dried food will be
affected.
10. Pre-treat the food before drying, such as clean, cut it into slices or dices and soak it. Pretreatment
of the food helps for the color of the food after drying and maintaining of its taste.

C. Pre-treatment for meat and fish
1. Lean meat (without fat): It is suggested that it be salted to keep its natural flavor and make it
tender. There shall be salt in the meat to help exhaust its moisture and keep it fresh.
Salting standard:
1/2 cup of bean sauce, 1 garlic, and mash it; 2 soup spoons of brown sugar, 2 soup spoons of
tomato sauce, 1/2 cup of Worcestershire sauce, 1 and 1/4 teaspoons of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of onion
powder, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper powder, and mix all the above seasonings. Cut meat into small
cubes and put them into the machine. Drying time is about 2-8 hours till all the moisture
evaporates.
2. Poultry meat:

Page 7of 8
All poultry meat shall be cooked beforehand prior to drying, and steam or baking is the
best way. Drying time is about 2-8 hours till all the moisture evaporates.
3. Fish:
It is recommended to steam or bake before drying (bake in the oven for 20 minutes at
200°C). Drying time is about 2-8 hours till all the moisture evaporates.
D. Vanilla and so on
Rinse with water and spin dry excessive moisture and remove stale leaves. Spread the
vanilla in the hopper in a loose way. Drying time is determined by different size and kind,
and it is about 2-6 hours.
E. Bread and so on
Cut it into small slices without crust. Spread them in the hopper in a loose way. Drying
time is about 30 minutes -2 hours.
F. Nut:
Stone and rinse with warm water. Spread them on the hopper in a loose way. The nuts can
only be stored after they are cooled. There's oil content inside the nuts may produce some
rotting smell, so they shall be kept fresh in the refrigerator. When they are needed, take them
out and put in normal room temperature. Drying time is about 18-26 hours.
Chapter VI Cleaning and Maintenance
1. Prior to cleaning, cut off the power source for the electric dryer.
2. After the food is dried, clean the shelves with warm water with aid of soft cotton cloth, and
