Loading trays and screen
• The top tray (with “TOP” moulded into the centre cap) must always be in the top
position for proper operation.
• All five trays should be used during every operation, even if some are empty.
• It is best to dry one kind of food at a time (for example, all fruit or all vegetables).
• Always leave the trays in place until drying is complete. You may remove food from the
trays when it has acceptably dried.
Always place food in a
single layer on each tray for
even drying. Do not overlap
food or crowd trays.
Use the mesh screen for
drying herbs and small
pieces of fruit or vegetables.
If using the mesh screen,
place the screen in the
tray before the food. For
best results, only use the
mesh screen in the top
two trays.
