3. Press the SET button again to adjust the time and use the + and – buttons to alter
as necessary.
The FAST mode is particularly beneficial for foods with a higher water content
and require a heightened temperature to avoid fermentation. The duration of this
mode can be increased if desired although it may exceed raw food dehydrating
guidelines.
The REGULAR mode allows you the convenience of using half the number of
stainless steel trays, drying space, and electricity to dehydrate your raw food recipes.
When choosing the REGULAR mode, please refer to the recommended Drying
Times.
Automated WARM Drying Mode
The Savana Food Dehydrator is equipped with a Two-Stage Sequential
Temperature-Timer (TST) which is a feature that works in two modes to add
further ease when dehydrating. The Savana TST will operate in either the FAST or
REGULAR drying mode for the chosen settings, then automatically switch to the
WARM drying mode at a low temperature of 35°C, and remain at this temperature
until the unit is turned off.
With this innovative Two-Stage Sequential Temperature-Timer, the advanced
Savana Dehydrator adds even more convenience when preserving the nutrition in
your whole living foods. The unique WARM drying setting accelerates the drying
process by kickstarting dehydration, while also preventing any moisture from
entering the food again after the drying process is complete.
Less time and effort is involved with creating delicious, raw foods and keeping
them at an optimum dehydrated state – even when you are out of the house!
Please Note:
Your food dehydrator will quietly beep when any of the buttons are pressed, when
the door is opened and when the assigned dehydrating time has lapsed.
Opening the door to your food dehydrator will shut off the power to both the
heating coil and the fan. The power will automatically re-start when the door is
securely closed again.

History of Dehydration
Drying is a method of food preservation that works by removing water from the
food, which inhibits the growth of bacteria and has been practiced worldwide since
ancient times. The most astonishing fact about food preservation is that it permeated
every culture at nearly every moment in time. To survive, ancient man had to harness
nature. In frozen climates they froze meat on ice, and in tropical climates they dried
foods in the sun.
Evidence shows that Middle Eastern and Oriental cultures dried foods in the hot sun
as early as 12,000 B.C. The earliest written record we know stated that the Phoenicians
and other fishing people of the Mediterranean used to dry their catches in the open
air. Sun drying tea leaves was very common among the early Chinese and many other
early cultures were also known to have consumed plenty of dried foods.
During the ages of exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries, most sailors on long sea
voyages ate varieties of dried food in order to stay alive. When Columbus discovered
the New World, dehydrated food played an important part in sustaining his crew and
in preventing any outbreak of nutritional diseases like scurvy and beriberi.
Leathery dried meat (or jerky) acted as staples for far roaming “mountain men” who
braved the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the unexplored Pacific Coast of America. By
1795, the French had developed the first dehydrator - a device designed to regulate
the drying conditions and to speed up the drying process.
Dehydrated food became popular during World War I. Due to America sending a
steady stream of supplies to Europe of which dried food made up a good portion.
Interest in drying food dropped off somewhat after the war, though it rekindled
during the Great Depression and World War II. After modern refrigeration and freezing
appliances became popular dehydration again dwindled as people no longer felt the
need to preserve their own food.
Today, because of the uncertainties with which we live, dehydrating is once again
becoming more and more popular as a method of preserving food. Dried food takes
up less space than frozen food, or canned food, no electricity is required to keep the
food, you don’t have to cook or thaw the food and you won’t have any leftovers that
could spoil. Dehydration offers a whole new and wonderful world of variety, healthy
snack options and tasty raw food.

Dehydrating Food
While most food types can be dehydrated at a temperature of approximately 55°C/131ºF,
when dehydrating meats, poultry and fish (making jerky, biltong etc) the temperature
needs to be raised to guard against pathogens such as Salmonella and E. Coli.
WARNING – It is recommended that meat and poultry are dehydrated at a
temperature of at least 68°C/155ºF, or alternatively the meat should be preheated
to 68°C/155ºF to guard against pathogens.
Fish should be steamed or baked to at least 93ºC/200ºF until flaky before dehydrating
at a temperature of least 68ºC/155ºF.
Choosing Food to Dehydrate
• For best results only use highest quality foods.
• Produce in peak season has more flavour and more nutrients.
• Meats, fish and poultry should be lean and fresh.
• Do not use food with bruises and blemishes. Bad produce can spoil the entire batch.
• Remove as much fat as possible from meats prior to dehydrating. You can use a
paper towel under meat when dehydrating to absorb fat.

Tips for Pre-Treatment of Foods
With most types of cooking, preparation is important for the best results. Foods
that are prepared correctly prior to dehydration will taste better and have a better
appearance.
Cut, shred or dice the food uniformly. Slices should be between 6mm and 20mm
thick. Meats should not be thicker than 5mm.
To avoid browning of fruits soak cut fruit in lemon or pineapple juice for 2-3 minutes,
then place in the dehydrator. Alternatively soak in an ascorbic acid solution (made as
per manufacturers instruction) for 2-3 minutes, then place in the dehydrator.
Waxy fruits, (such as peaches, grapes, blueberries, etc.) should be dipped in boiling
water to remove the wax. This allows moisture to escape easily during dehydration.
Blanching can also be used to pre-treat foods for dehydration.
Preparation of Foods
For best results, select the freshest foods available to dehydrate. Note that immature
fruits and vegetables do not have as much colour and flavour as those that are fully
matured. Foods should be dehydrated as soon after purchase as possible. Foods high
in sugar such as apples, pears, peaches and bananas are prone to darkening due to
oxidation of the sugars.
Below are some pre-treatments that will help to reduce this effect:
Lemon and pineapple juice are natural antioxidants. Place the sliced produce in
fresh lemon or pineapple juice for a few minutes, remove, drain and place on the
dehydrator shelf. For extra flavour, try sprinkling on cinnamon or other spices.
Ascorbic acid mix, (a form of vitamin C) is available at most health food stores and is
can be used in tablet or powder form. Use about 2-3 tablespoons of powder or ground
tablets per litre of water; stir to completely dissolve the powder and place fruit into the
solution for 2-3 minutes. Remove, drain and place on the dehydrator shelf.
Blanching is used primarily to prepare fruits and vegetables for dehydrating that
have skins that will toughen during drying. This process helps lock in the colour and
flavour as well as soften the skin of grapes, cherries. prunes and plums. There are two
blanching methods: Water and Steam.
Water Blanching - Fill a large saucepan about half full of water. Bring the water to a
boil and use tongs to place food directly into the water, cover the saucepan and let
it simmer for approximately 3 minutes. Remove, drain and place on the dehydrator
shelf.
Steam Blanching – Using a steamer pot such as one used in Chinese cooking, put
5-8 centimetres of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Place the food into the
steamer basket, place over the saucepan and cover. Steam food for approximately 5
minutes, then remove and place on the dehydrator shell.

Nuts and Seeds – Nuts and Seeds contain phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors. Phytic
acid is biologically necessary, as it helps safeguard the nut or seed until proper
growing conditions are present and germination can occur.
Prepare your nuts and seeds by soaking them in warm water (filtered is best) and 1
tablespoon of salt to every 2 cups of raw nuts or seeds. This will neutralize many of
the enzyme inhibitors and increase the bioavailability of many nutrients, especially B
vitamins.
Within 7-24 hours (depending on the seed or nut), many of the enzyme inhibitors are
broken down.
NOTE: Linseed, Flaxseed and Chia seeds are not suitable for soaking. Cashews can
only be soaked for 3-6 hours as they have already been heated to rid them of the
naturally occuring toxic oil, cardol.
Grains (45-55ºC/113-131ºF) – For best results with dehydrating grains you will need to
sprout them beforehand, this is especially necessary when making sprouted flour. The
sprouting process occurs over a period of 2-3 days, depending on the humidity of the
surrounding air, and will involve soaking, draining and rinsing your wheat berries in
filtered water every 6-8 hours. You will need to ensure the wheat berries are covered
with a mesh or cheesecloth and set at an angle to allow an even circulation of air for
fermentation to take place. Once the root tips have grown to 1.5cm the seeds can
be spread on the dehydrator trays, using the mesh sheets to prevent them falling
through. After the sprouted grain has been dehydrated, you can use a power blender
to make fresh sprouted flour.
PLEASE NOTE:There are no exact rules that apply to food dehydration, as results can
be affected by room temperature, relative humidity and moisture levels in the food
that you are drying. To become proficient it will be necessary to experiment with your
drying techniques. If you use too much heat, food may harden on the outside while
being moist inside; however, with too little heat your drying times will be very long.
With a little practice you will be creating tasty, ready to eat snacks in no time.
Dehydrating Tips
• Do not overlap foods. Make sure foods are flat when placing on dehydrating trays.
Overlapped foods can greatly increase drying time.
• Make sure foods are completely dry before removing. If you are not sure, cut a
sample down the middle to check for internal dryness.
• Make sure to label containers when you store your dehydrated food.
• Proper storage helps maintain quality food. Package the food when cool. Foods can
be kept longer if stored in a cool, dark and dry place. The ideal storage temperature
is 16°C/61ºF or lower.
• Vacuum sealing is a great way to keep dehydrated foods.
• Food will shrink approximately ¼ to ½ their original size and weight during
dehydration. Make sure not to cut pieces of food to be dehydrated too small.

Food Storage
Dried foods should be allowed to condition before being placed into a storage
container. Generally, let stand for approximately one week in a dry, well ventilated and
protected area. The conditioning time allows for further drying and removes most of
the remaining moisture.
Dried foods can be placed into clean, dry, insect resistant containers, preferably glass
jars. Heavy gauge plastic freezer bags can also be used. Remember to eliminate as
much air as possible before sealing the bag. When used properly, vacuum sealers
provide the ideal storage method. The less air present, the less potential for the
formation of mould.
Reconstitution
Dried foods do not need to be reconstituted for consumption. Many people prefer
to eat them in their dried state. If you want to reconstitute your food, here are some
basic guidelines:
• Soak food in unsalted water for 3-7 minutes and then prepare as usual. If you are
boiling them, use the same water they soaked in to preserve nutrients. If you plan
to soak foods for more than one hour, they should be placed in the refrigerator to
prevent bacterial growth.
• One cup of dried vegetables will reconstitute approximately two cups.
• One cup of dried fruit will reconstitute to about one and a half cups.
• Reconstitution times will vary depending on the thickness of the food and the water
temperature used.
• Warm water will speed up reconstitution but may result in some flavour loss.
Drying times
The following charts are guidelines for the preparation of various fruits, vegetables
and meats. Drying times will vary depending on the room temperature, relative
humidity and moisture levels in the food that you are drying. If the moisture level is
low, the drying time will be on the low end of the range. However, if the moisture
level is high, the drying time will be on the high end of the range.
Keep in mind that drying times are also affected by the amount of food placed on
the shelves. Overloading the shelves will slow the drying time and may produce
poorer results.
When dehydrating foods, it is important to
check on the dryness of the product. If the
product is not thoroughly dried, mould may
form during storage (see Food Storage). To
test for dryness, remove a piece of food
from the dehydrator and allow it to cool
to room temperature. Bend and tear the
piece to check for internal moisture.
