on the food in the steaming container.
5. When drying, please keep the hot air in the machine
circulating naturally. Don't leave heavy food on the baking
bucket, and the food should not overlap. Different foods have
different drying times (note: when the machine starts to work,
please make sure the upper cover is in the correct position. If
there is not enough time to dry food on one day, it can be
dried on the next day. In this case, please seal the food that

be sealed with containers or plastic bags and stored immedi-
ately. It is recommended to store it in refrigerator.

baking buckets and place them on the product regardless of
whether there is food in the baking bucket.

the bottom drying bucket in turn. Cover the food after it is put
away, otherwise the drying time and taste of the food after

ing or baking is the best way. Drying time is about 2-8
