RECOMMENDATIONS
ATTENTION!
• To avoid food intoxication and intestinal diseases
strictly follow the below recommendations:
- keep the grids (1) clean. Wash the grids (1) with
warm water and neutral detergent, rinse, and dry
them after each use of the food dehydrator.
- wipe the removable door (4) with a damp cloth, then
wipe it dry;
- wash your hands before pretreating the foods. If
there are cuts or sores on your hands, or if you
have a skin condition – do not touch the foods, use
medical gloves instead.
- when checking the foods, use a fork or other kitchen
tools, do not touch the foods with your hands.
- keep the pets away, while the food dehydration is in
operation.
Fruits and vegetables selection
• Only use the ripe fruit and fresh vegetables, unripe fruit
may acquire a foreign taste in course of dehydration,
overly ripe fruit may change the color.
• Vegetables contain less sugars and acids, therefore,
not all of them are suitable for drying. The broccoli and
asparagus, for example, are better frozen than dried.

EN
• Dried fruit and vegetables must be slightly soft and with
no moisture, overly dried fruit and vegetables are easy
to crumble and have less nutritional value.
Pretreating fruit and vegetables
• Before dehydration thoroughly wash the fruit and
vegetables and dry them.
• Cut, remove stems, stones, pits, cores and seeds.
• Peel the skin from the vegetables if it is thick.
• Slice or dice the fruit and vegetables. Leave berries,
such as grapes, whole.
Preprocessing of fruit
• Certain fruit has a waxy coating, which can be removed
by peeling them or placing them into boiling water for
1 minute.
• Use lemon, orange, or lime juice to preserve the natural
color of the fruit. Place the cut fruit pieces into juice for
2-4 minutes, remove them, dry them, and put them onto
the grids (1).
• To enhance the avor of the fruit, use natural juice
from the fruit to be dehydrated, e. g., apple juice for the
apples. Dilute 50-60 ml of the juice in 400 ml of boiled
water, place the cut fruit pieces into the diluted juice for
about 1-2 hours, remove the fruit, dry it, and lay it out
on the grids (1).
Preprocessing of vegetables
• Pretreat the vegetables to avoid avor change in
course of dehydration.
• You can either steam or microwave the vegetables,
these pretreatments are more preferable than
scolding.
• When using the food steamer, place the vegetables
on the upper tray of the steamer, heat them for 2-3
minutes, and put the vegetables onto the grids (1).
• Put the vegetables into a microwave-ready container,
add some water. Cover the container with the lid and
put it into a microwave oven. Set the operation time
to the «quarter» of the boiling time for vegetables
specied in your microwave oven manual. Place the
pretreated vegetables onto the grids (1).
• You can place the cut vegetables into boiling water
for 2-4 minutes, remove them and put back onto the
grids (1).
Fish and meats drying suggestions
• Use only fresh sh and fat-free lean meat, such as
beef and poultry.
• Preprocessing is mandatory before drying sh and
meat – it will protect your health. Make sure to
marinate or boil the foods before dehydration.
• Dried sh and meats can be used for making soups
and main courses.
• Soak the dried sh or meat in water or broth for about
one hour before cooking.
Meat marinade recipe:
- 100 ml soy sauce
- 1 tea spoon shredded garlic

- 2 table spoons tomato paste
- salt and spices to taste
Drying meats
• Cut the beef and poultry meat along the tendons into
small slices. Let the meat marinate for 2-3 hours,
then remove it, let it dry, and place onto the grids (1).
• Meat dehydration time – from 8 to 15 hours under
dehydrator temperature of 60-70ºС.
• Keep the dried meat in an airtight container.
Do not store it for longer than 2 weeks under
room temperature, or longer than 3 months in a
refrigerator.
Drying sh
• Only use fresh sh for drying, do not use frozen sh.
• Remove the bones from the sh then cut it into
pieces.
• Put the pieces of sh into salted water (100 g of salt
to 1 liter of water), put the sh in the container into
a refrigerator for 30 minutes, remove the pieces of
sh, let them dry, and lay them out onto the mesh
trays (1).
• Dry the sh until it stops secreting moisture.
• Keep the dried sh in an airtight container inside a
refrigerator. Do not store it for longer than 3 months.
Drying pre-cooked sh and meat
• Boil sh or meat.
• Remove the bones from the sh, cut the excess fat
o󰀨 the meat, cut the foods into pieces, and lay them
out onto the grids (1).
• Dry the foods until ready.
• Keep sh and meat in an airtight container.
Do not store it for longer than 2 weeks under
room temperature, or longer than 3 months in a
refrigerator.
Drying greens, avoring herbs, or owers
• Fresh greens, any avoring herbs, or owers are
suitable for drying.
• Dry the greens and avoring herbs together with
their stems, after drying separate the leaves from the
stems, and put them into an airtight container.
• Before taking the herbs away for storage, make sure
that they are well-dried, otherwise the herbs can
spoil.
• The dried owers can be used to make a herbarium
or in fragrance sachets.
Storing dried foods
• Dehydrated products must contain less than 20%
moisture, overdried fruit and vegetables lose their
taste and nutrition value. Recommendations on the
condition of dried products are given in the tables.
• Storing the dried foods in the correct containers
increases their shelf-life.
• Before taking the foods away for storage, let them
completely cool down and put them into an airtight
container afterwards. For best results, use vacuum
containers or vacuum bags.

• Make sure to label the container or the bag with the
name of the food and the packaging date.
• Store the foods in a dark cool place under temperature
below 15°С. Foods can be stored in a refrigerator or a
freezer.
DRYING TIMES & TEMPERATURE GUIDE
• The dehydration time for each food is individual and
dependent on its quality and size, on the temperature,
and the relative room humidity.
• In the table below are suggested drying times and
temperature.
• As you learn to operate the food dehydrator, you
will become able to determine the drying time and
temperature yourself.
Note: if the foods have not dried in one session, you can
continue the process at another convenient time. Switch
the dehydrator o󰀨, wait for the foods on the grids (1) to
cool down to room temperature, put the foods into food
containers or bags, and place them into a refrigerator or
a freezer.
Using dried fruit and vegetables
The necessary moisture in dried products can be restored
again, several methods are o󰀨ered:
- Soak fruit and vegetables in cold water for 2-6 hours,
make sure that they don’t heat up during soaking.
- You can soak fruit or vegetables in boiling water for
5-10 minutes and wait for the necessary result.
- You can also restore the moisture by cooking the
products. During cooking do not add sugar or spices.
The general rule is to pour two cups of water over
the fruit and let it boil for a while.
