INSTRUCTION | P18
Operation
SELECTING FOOD & LOADING TRAY FOR DRYING
Select high quality produce that is ripe and full of flavour for the best results. Wash all
fruits and vegetables to remove any debris, dust or insects. Cut away any bruised or
damaged sections. Lay food pieces evenly onto the trays. Do not overlap the food
pieces as this may inhibit drying. As each tray is loaded, stack them one by one onto the
Power Base Unit ready for drying.
TIP: To get the best result be sure to slice your food between 5mm and 10mm in
thickness. Any thicker than this and the food may not dry evenly.
DRYING TIME: Drying times will vary, depending on the type and amount of food, the
thickness of the slices, the percentage of water in the food and the weather when using
the Dehydrator. See pages 23 through to 28 for approx. drying times.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL: The Luvele Breeze Dehydrator has a temperature range of
between 25 degrees C & 75 degrees C.
TEMP RANGE 25 TO 30 DEGREES C: This temperature setting range is for making
biltong and drying flower etc.. over a 2-3 day period. The maximum drying time on the
25 and 30 degrees C setting is 72 hours.
TEMP RANGE 35 TO 45 DEGREES C: This temperature setting range is ideal for drying
foods that need to remain raw. This lower temperature will dehydrate foods slower, so it
may be necessary to slice food thinner when using these temperatures.
IMPORTANT: The maximum drying time on the 35 to 45 degrees C settings is 24 hours.
TEMP RANGE 50 TO 75 DEGREES C: This temperature range is for produce with a
high water content like meats, fruits and vegetables etc. It is recommended to dehydrate
all meats on the 75 degrees C temperature setting.
IMPORTANT: The maximum drying time on the 50 to 75 degrees C settings is 24 hours.
INSTRUCTION | P19
Biltong
SELECTING THE MEAT
Many different types of meats can be used to make biltong, from fish to turkey, but by
far the most popular meat to use is beef, as it will suit most tastes. Venison is a good
choice due to its leaner quality. Topside and silverside are also good cuts for biltong.
Whatever you select, the standard factors of cut, aging and fat content apply, and will
all affect your biltong in the same way they do when you cook with these meats. Fatty
cuts of meat are more likely to spoil during the drying process and should be
avoided.
PREPARATION: Start by removing any excess fat. This will help with the drying
process, and ensure greater longevity of the final product. Leave some fat for extra
flavour, as you like it. Don’t cut the slices too thick or they will take too long to dry,
8mm to 10mm is ideal. When hanging biltong with six tray, cut to a length of 10cm
and when using nine trays cut to a maximum length of 19cm. Get rid of any gristle or
sinew as these parts become extremely tough to chew when dried. Longer strips are
more space efficient for drying, and reduce the number of drying hooks you’ll need
to use. However, it is important the biltong strips do not touch the base or sides of
the dehydrator.
BASTING & SEASONING RECIPE  FOR APPROXIMATELY 2KG OF MEAT:
250ml vinegar (for basting)
2 Tbs ground black pepper
1/2 cup ground coriander
2 Tbs sea salt
2 tsps paprika
The easiest way to prepare meat for drying is to baste and season simultaneously.
Start by adding a layer of your basting mix (vinegar) and seasoning spices to the
bottom of a wide, flat dish or tray.
Lay your steaks flat in the dish, then add another equal layer of basting and seasoning
on top. Additional spices like paprika and peri peri can be added according to your
preference for spicy flavouring. Let the steaks marinade for three hours in the
fridge before proceeding to the drying phase.

INSTRUCTION | P20
Biltong
!
!NOTE:
When operating the dehydrator for more than 24 hours on the 25 or 30 degree
C temperature setting, it should be checked every 12 hours, after the first 24
hour period.
WARNING:
Do not operate the dehydrator above 30 degrees C for more that 24 hours.
DRYING: You are now ready to hang your biltong strips for drying. If any excess
liquid remains on the meat from basting, remove with paper towel. When hanging
your strips of meat, be sure to separate your strips evenly throughout the dehydrator,
using the 24 stainless steel hooks supplied. It is important that the strips of meat are
not touching each other, or the sides or bottom of the dehydrator. Once you have
completed hanging your meat, simply place the lid on to the dehydrator and set your
desired time and temperature.
TEMPERATURE & TIME SETTINGS: For the best results, dry biltong on the 25 or
30 degree C temperature setting.
Depending on the type of meat used, biltong may take between 48 and
72 hours to dry. Personal taste comes into play, as some like their biltong moist
while others prefer the rock hard variety. Some experimentation with drying times
will be required when you first start making your biltong.
STORING BILTONG: Even though biltong is cured and air-dried, it’s still meat.
Homemade biltong is preservative free, so we recommend storing it in the fridge in
a paper bag over short periods of 4-5 days. Should you wish to store it for longer
than 5 days, or you want the biltong to stay soft (moist), we recommend you store it
in an air-tight container in the freezer. Biltong can be stored in the freezer for up to 6
months. The Luvele range of vacuum sealers and vacuum canisters are ideal for storing
biltong in the freezer and can be purchased at luvele.eu.
INSTRUCTION | P21
Storage
PACKAGING
Dried foods should be packaged straight after drying to prevent stickiness and
re-hydration caused by humidity. Store dried foods in airtight, moisture proof
containers. If foods are insufficiently dried, or are exposed to moisture from faulty
packaging, they can lose their quality and nutrition, and can even form mould during
storage. The Luvele vacuum sealers and vacuum canister range are ideal for packaging
dried foods. They can extend the shelf life of dried foods 4-5 times.
The Luvele vacuum sealer products can be purchased from our
website luvele.eu
Plastic freezer bags can be used. Plastic storage bags that are not labeled for use
in the freezer generally are not airtight, nor moisture-proof and should not be used
to store dried foods. Since most packaging materials are transparent, store
packaged dried foods in a plastic or metal container which will not allow the light
to penetrate. Store all foods separately so flavours do not mix.
STORAGE
The storage area should be cool, dry, and dark. The darker and cooler the storage
area, the longer the dried foods will last. The ideal storage temperature for dehydrat-
ed food is between 15°C to below freezing. The ideal storage place is a freezer or
refrigerator, particularly for storing low acid foods such as meats, fish and veg.

INSTRUCTION | P22
Re-hydrating
REHYDRATING DRIED FOOD
Enjoy dehydrated foods when dry or rehydrate foods to use in recipes.
Re-hydrating can be done by placing dried foods in enough water to cover
the food and then soaking for approximately one hour. Boiling water will
re-hydrates foods much faster than cold water. Fruits or vegetables may also
be re-hydrated in liquids other than water, including fruit juices, cider,
vegetable juices, milk etc. Adding salt or sugar during re-hydration will slow
the re-hydration process down.
COOKING DRIED FOOD
After re-hydrating food, cook it as you would normally. Most fruits and
vegetables will rehydrate to about 70-90% of their fresh state. Keep in mind
they will be more chewy than fresh or frozen fruit and vegetable. Dried food
used in cooking will absorb additional liquid, so adjust the recipe accordingly
by adding more water.
INSTRUCTION | P23
Fruit
PREPARATION
Wash fruit and dry with paper towels. Remove any blemishes, pips and stones,
then slice evenly to a thickness of between 5mm and 10mm. Pre-treat where
recommended. Read following table for further information.
PRETREATMENT
The pre-treatment of fruit is recommended to help slow down browning while the
fruit is drying. We recommended you use a natural pre-treatment solution of
pineapple or lemon juice. Soak prepared, sliced fruit for 1-2 minutes in the juice
before placing on drying racks.
BLANCHING
Some fruits with natural protective wax coatings e.g. figs, grapes and prunes, need
to be blanched to speed the drying process. To blanch place whole fruits in boiling
water for 1 - 2 minutes. Then plunge into ice cold water, slice and commence
drying.

following chart for further information
PRETREATMENT
Blanching may be required to speed up the drying process for certain vegetables.
STEAM BLANCH
Bring a saucepan of water to the boil then place vegetables in a colander, place
colander into saucepan and cover. You can also steam vegetables in the
microwave. Steam for as long as suggested in the drying chart below, then cool
in ice water, drain and pat vegetables dry. Commence drying. Blanching preserves
colour, stops the ripening process and generally makes the produce dry faster.

Most herbs may be dried in your dehydrator right on the plant stalk
or stem. Seeds and leaves are easily stripped from the plant when dry. Do not dry
herbs with fruits and vegetables. Store finished product in a cool, dark place to
reduce flavour loss. Do not powder leaves until you are ready to use.
PREPARATION
Leaves and stems should be washed under cold running water to remove any
dust or insects. Remove any dead or discoloured parts. If flowers are to be used
in teas, dry them whole. When seed pods have dried, their outer covering may be
removed by rubbing the seeds between the palms of your hands while blowing on
them to remove the husks. Place seeds on a non-stick Mesh Sheet. Dehydrate
until there is no moisture evident.
DRYING TEMPERATURE
Most herbs should be dehydrated at a temperature of between 60 & 75 degrees C.

DRYING FLOWERS
You can dry your own flowers, blossoms and petals using your Luvele
Breeze Food Dehydrator. You have the option of drying them lying flat on the
Stainless Steel Trays, or by hanging them using the Hanging Rack system.
PREPARATION
Cut flowers when they are dry and cool. Choose flowers that are firm but only
half open. Full bloom flowers tend to lose their petals. Position your flowers and
petals sparsely on the drying trays or Hanging Rack and dry for 8-10 hours, at
75 degrees C, until flowers are brittle.
To make potpourri use a handful of flowers, blossoms and petals and combine
with 3-4 drops of perfumed oil e.g. tea rose or lavender. Arrange flowers, blossoms
and petals sparsely on the drying trays using a Mesh Sheet, then dry for 6-8 hours
at 75 degrees C. When drying is completed, place flowers into a large air tight
glass container and apply another 3-4 drops of perfumed oil.

Einleitung
BEGRÜSSEN SIE IHREN LUVELE BREEZE DÖRRAUTOMATEN!
Wir hoffen, dass Sie Ihren Luvele Breeze Dörrautomaten genauso sehr lieben, wie wir
Freude daran hatten, ihn zu entwerfen. Das Luvele-Team entwirft schon seit über 10 Jahren
Dörrautomaten und der Luvele Breeze ist bereits unser fünfter, noch besserer Entwurf.
Wir glauben, dass wir bei unserem neuen Gerät wirklich an alles gedacht haben, damit Sie in
Ihrer eigenen Küche zum Dörrmeister werden können!
Lesen Sie bitte die komplette Bedienungsanleitung, damit Sie das Beste aus Ihrem neuen
Küchenkameraden herausholen können.

AUFFANGSCHALEN
Das Trocknen von Lebensmitteln in einem Dörrautomaten kann hin und wieder etwas schmutzig
werden. Die zwei Auffangschalen sorgen für die Lösung dieses Problems. Sie wurden so
konzipiert, dass alle Tropfen, die möglicherweise durch die darüber trocknenden Lebensmittel
entstehen, in den Schalen aufgefangen werden. Die Schalen können nach jeder Anwendung
ganz leicht entfernt und mit warmem Wasser und Spülmittel gereinigt werden.
WICHTIG: einigen Sie die Auffangschalen nicht in der Spülmaschine.

!HINWEIS:
ENTFERNEN SIE NACH JEDER NUTZUNG BEIDE AUFFANGSCHALEN UND REINIGEN
