PROBLEM SOLVING
PROBLEM: Moisture in the storage container.
CAUSE: Incomplete Drying.
Food is cut unevenly, causing incomplete or uneven drying.
Drying foods left at room temperature too long after cooling,
allows moisture to re-enter the foods.
PREVENTION:Test several pieces of food for dryness before removing it from
the Dehydrator.
Cut foods evenly.
Cool quickly and package immediately in an air-tight container.
__________________________________________________________________
PROBLEM: Mold is on the dehydrated food.
CAUSE: Incomplete Drying.
The food was not checked for moisture content within a week.
The storage container is not air-tight.
The storage temperature is too warm.
Case hardening may have occurred, meaning the food was dried
at too high of a temperature and the food was only dry on the
outside, not the inside.
PREVENTION:Test several pieces of food for dryness before removing it from
the Dehydrator.
__________________________________________________________________
PROBLEM: Brown spots on vegetables.
CAUSE: Too high of a drying temperature was used. Food is over-dry.
PREVENTION:Dry foods at appropriate temperatures. Use the “Drying
Guide” on the Control Panel as reference. Check foods often
for dryness.
__________________________________________________________________
PROBLEM: Food sticking to Trays.
CAUSE: Food is not being turned over during the dehydration process.
PREVENTION:After one hour of dehydrating, use a spatula and ip the food.
Flip the food often until it is no longer sticky.

grounding type plug to t the proper grounding-type
receptacle. The appliance has a plug that looks like
Figure A. An adaptor, Figure B, should be used for
connecting Figure A plugs to two-prong receptacles.
The grounding tab which extends from the adaptor
must be connected to a permanent ground such as
a properly grounded outlet box as shown in Figure C
using a metal screw.

TIPS
. Use the best quality foods. Fruits and vegetables in peak season have more
nutrients and more avor. Do not use food with bruises or blemishes. Bad fruits and
vegetables may spoil the entire batch.
. Use the best quality meats. Meats, sh and poultry should be lean and fresh.
Remove as much fat as possible before dehydrating.
. Do not overlap foods. Lay foods at on the Trays.
. Check dryness after a few hours, then check every two hours until dehydrated.
Open or cut down the middle if a few samples to check internal dryness. If the food
is still moist, dehydrate longer.
. Use the Drying Guide on the Control Panel as reference for proper temperature
settings. If the heat is set too high, the food may case harden, meaning the food is
dried at too high of a temperature and the food was only dry on the outside, not the
inside. If the temperature is too low, the drying time will increase.
. Remember, foods will shrink approximately 1/4 to 1/2 their original size and
weight during the dehydration process, so pieces should not be kept too small. One
pound of raw meat will yield approximately 1/3 lb. (0.2 kg) of jerky.
. Do not place items to be dried on the Drip Tray, there will be no circulation of air
on this Tray. Clean the Drip Tray periodically during dehydration for easier clean-
up.
refrigerated so they cool rapidly. Make sure to cover foods after they are cool.
NOTE:Special considerations must be made when using venison or other wild game,
since it can become heavily contaminated during eld dressing. Venison is often held
at temperatures that could potentially allow bacteria to grow, such as when it is being
transported. Refer to the USDA Meat and Poultry Department for further questions or
information on meat and food safety.
