Enjoy the advantages of simple, efficient food
dehydrating with respect for your food.
Optimal control of the temperature
Thanks to the electronic thermostat the Dejelin
NutriDry food dehydrator provides precise
and constant temperature. The temperatures
correspond to the requirements of raw cooking,
which allows you to prepare dishes that are rich in
all necessary nutrients. With the Dejelin NutriDry
the quality of your raw food is guaranteed!
Full autonomy
With the NutriDry you have total control of the
timer up to 48 hours.
Lateral Airflow System
As opposed to other food dehydrators with a
round shape, the heat distribution is not central
but lateral. The hot air is distributed through the
double wall of the trays.
The temperature is identical from the first to the
last tray. It is not necessary to relocate your trays
half way through the dehydrating process. You
will have a uniform dehydrating as from the first
attempt.
Thanks to this system you can dehydrate up to 8
trays. You can increase the dehydrating surface of
your appliance by adding extra trays.
Ingenious design
The NutriDry is equipped with adjustable trays.
You can increase the volume of the appliance in
just a few steps. You only have to remove the
centre of the tray. This allows you to make bread
rise or prepare homemade yogurt.

First use
It is beautiful, brand new and you cannot wait to

complete. Carefully remove your NutriDry from
its packaging and check if all parts are in the box.
A first cleaning is required
Before the first use, the trays and the lid must be
carefully cleaned with hot soapy water. These
parts are also dishwasher proof. Afterwards, dry
carefully.

empty. For example: the ingredients are on the top
tray, the 4 other trays remain empty.
The ingredients are on the first 2 trays, the other 3
remain empty.
WARNING : hygiene measures
Raw cooking and its ingredients involve a few
hygiene measures, since the preparations are
not pasteurised. To avoid pathogenic bacteria
to develop, it is important to follow hygiene
measures.
- Wash your hands
- Thoroughly wash and clean the ingredients
you want to dehydrate by removing damaged
or rotten pieces.
- Use a clean worksurface and clean
kitchenware.

and then clean it with a moist cloth. Never rinse
the NutriDry with water and never immerse it

appliance again. Store your appliance and its

MAINTENANCE FAQ
My apples and pears become brown
during the dehydrating process.
Are they still fitted for consumption?
Yes. Fruit that turned brown is still fitted for
consumption. A lot a fruit oxide during the
dehydrating process. Oxidation appears as soon as
the flesh of the fruit comes into contact with air.
A pre-treatment could slow this oxidation down.
My fruit leathers are too thin and
crumble. How do I get the same result
as in the store?
Fresh fruit with a lot of juice can weaken the
leathers. To obtain the same result as in the store,
add banana to your fruit purée.
When I dehydrate different ingredients
at the same time, some dehydrate faster
than others. Should I always remove the
dehydrated elements?
Yes, as soon as the ingredients are dehydrated you
can remove them from the trays and store them
in a dry place so that they can cool. This optimises
the dehydrating of the remaining ingredients.
However, if you made equal shapes, they should
dehydrate simultaneously.

Environment Norm 2002/96/ce
In order to protect our environment and your
health, disposal at the end of the lifetime of
electric appliances must be treated under certain
rules and this requires involvement of everyone,
supplier or user. Therefore, your appliance
cannot in any way be disposed in a public waste
bin or with normal domestic waste, as indicated
by the symbol on the rating plate. When disposing
of the appliance it is your responsibility to bring
the appliance to an official collection centre for
recycling of electric and electronic appliances.
For more information on the collection centres
for recycling of appliances at the end of their
lifetime, please contact the local authorities in
your area, the household waste disposal service
provider or the store where you bought your
appliance.

use. If it is damaged, do not use the appliance. The
electrical cord can only be replaced by Dalcq S.A.,
her after sales service or a capable and authorized
person in order to avoid any danger for the user.
The electrical cord used is a HO5VV-F 3 G 0,75

2004/108/CE, DEEE 2002/96/CE, rohs 2002/95/

WARRANTY
Dalcq S.A. provides a special warranty on all parts
of the appliance subject to conditions below.
The legal regulations about warranty as well as
the rights resulting from the legislation about
responsibility of the defective products remain
unaffected. Possible right to reimbursement of
the buyer in case of defaults remain valid, if the
conditions below are met.
1. Period of the warranty
The warranty applies to all parts of the appliance
and starts from the date of purchase
(date of invoice) of the appliance and has a
duration of 2 years when used privately
2. Object of the warranty
Dalcq S.A. covers the material, construction and
manufacturing defaults, provided the default was
present at delivery and that the appliance was
correctly operated by the buyer. The warranty
covers free repair, or exchange of one or more
defective components, or the exchange of the
appliance for another appliance of the same value.
It is up to Dalcq S.A. to decide which measure to
undertake.
3. Warranty case
When breakdown/default, you must immediately
advise:
· The store where you bought the appliance.
· The after sales service (written or via email)
that the appliance will be returned, to provide
an extended description of the problem with
pictures
4. Packaging
It is recommended to use the original packaging
to return the appliance. If you use a different
packaging, make sure it provides enough protection
for typical transport risks and that it offers
sufficient protection. A simple cardboard box filled
with paper is not sufficient. Dalcq S.A. cannot
be held responsible for damage resulting from
insufficient packaging. The warranty then expires.
The after sales service will inform you of the return
procedure as well as of the costs this implies.
5. Cleaning
If you don’t clean the parts or the appliance before
returning it, Dalcq S.A. will invoice a cleaning
set rate. It is the responsibility of the buyer to
prove the real costs of cleaning are inferior to the
invoiced set rate.
6. Withdrawal of the right to warranty
The right to warranty is withdrawn by:
• Incorrect use, treatment and storage. (For
example, defaults caused by humidity, high
temperatures)
• Repairs, repair attempts, modifications of any
kind and use of non-original parts, etc. which
were not executed by Dalcq S.A. or by an
authorized company.
• Insufficient packaging and bad transport.
• Inappropriate mechanical influences on the
appliance or on the parts of the appliance.
• Defaults that are not caused by the finishing
or production of the appliance, such as fall,
collision, damage, fire, earthquake, damage by
flood, lightning, etc.
• Use other than household use, especially in a
commercial environment.
• The costs incurred by Dalcq S.A. because of the
returning of the appliance by the buyer, without
warranty or right to restitution will be for the
buyer.
