IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ & UNDERSTAND all of the instructions and
safeguards prior to using the Dehydrator.
1. Operate the Dehydrator on a clean, dry and level surface.
2. Plug the Dehydrator into a standard 120 Volt, 60 Hz wall outlet.
3. Position the Dehydrator at least 6” (15 cm) from any wall during operation to
allow for proper air circulation. WARNING! DO NOT block the air vents at the rear
of the Dehydrator.
4. Adjust thermostat to setting desired.
5. Turn the Dehydrator “On” (-). When “On”, the light should illuminate the Power
Switch.
6. Preheat the Dehydrator for 5-10 minutes before loading food onto the
Dehydrator Trays.
7. Remove any excess water from the food. (This can be done by patting the
food with a paper towel or napkin.) Excess moisture may cause the Dehydrator
temperature to drop.
8. Load the Dehydrator Trays with the items to be dried. Position the pieces so
that they do not touch each other. Do not overlap or allow the product to touch.
Allow ample space between the product for proper air circulation.
NOTE: Water droplets may form on the surface of some products while dehydrating.
These can be removed by blotting the product with a clean towel or paper towel.
NOTE: Drying times may vary depending on several factors including relative
humidity, air temperature and product thickness, temperature and fat content.
NOTE: Tray rotation may be necessary.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CHOOSING FOODS
• Use the best quality foods. Fruits and vegetables in peak season have more
nutrients and more avor. Meat, sh and poultry should be lean and fresh.
• Do not use food with bruises or blemishes. Bad fruits and vegetables may spoil
the entire batch.
• Always use lean meat. Remove as much fat as possible before dehydrating.
NOTE: Use a paper towel under meat when dehydrating to absorb fat.
CAUTION! It is important to follow the “Food Safety” guidelines outlined in this
manual. For the most up to date instruction visit the USDA website.

As with most types of cooking, proper preparation is essential for successful results.
Adhering to a few basic guidelines will greatly increase the quality of your dried foods
and decrease the amount of time necessary to dry them.
Pre-treated foods often taste better and have a better appearance than non-treated
foods. There are several methods to pre-treat food to prevent oxidation, which will
darken apples, pears, peaches and bananas while drying:
• Remove any pits, skin or cores.
• Shred, slice or dice the food uniformly. Slices should be between 1/4” (0.6 cm)
and 3/4” (1.9 cm) thick. Meats should be cut no more than 3/16” (0.5 cm) thick.
• Steam or roast meat to 160˚F (71oC) and poultry to 165˚F (74oC) as measured
with a food thermometer before dehydrating.
• The temperature of the Dehydrator must be maintained at 130-140˚F (55-60oC)
throughout the drying process.
• Drying sh into jerky requires a lot of attention. It must be cleaned and de-boned
properly and rinsed thoroughly to ensure that all the blood is washed away. Steam or
bake the sh at 200˚F (93oC) until aky before dehydrating.
• Soak cut fruit in either lemon or pineapple juice for a few minutes before placing
out on the Dehydrating Trays.
• Use an ascorbic acid mix which can be purchased in most health food stores or
pharmacies. It may come in either powder or tablet form. Dissolve approximately 2-3
tablespoons into 1 quart (1 liter) of water. Soak the fruit slices into the solution for 2-3
minutes, then place on the Dehydrating Trays.
• Fruits with a wax coating (gs, peaches, grapes, blueberries, prunes, etc.) should
be dipped in boiling water to remove the wax. This allows moisture to escape easily
when dehydrating.
• Blanching can pre-treat food for dehydrating. Blanching does not destroy helpful
enzymes and helps retain nutrients. There are two ways to blanch food:
1. WATER BLANCHING: (Water Blanching will leave a cooked avor)
Use a large pan; ll it half way with water. Bring water to a boil. Place food
directly into boiling water and cover. Remove after three minutes. Arrange
food on the Dehydrating Trays.
2. STEAM BLANCHING: Using steamer pot bring 2-3” (5-7 cm) of water
to a boil in bottom section. Place food in steamer basket and steam for 3-5
minutes. Remove steamed food and arrange on Dehydrating Trays.
PRE-TREATMENT OF FOODS
CAUTION! It is important to follow the “Food Safety” guidelines outlined in this
manual. For the most up to date instruction visit the USDA website.

-8-
• Do not overlap foods. Lay foods at on the Dehydrating Trays.
• Check dryness after 6 hours, then check every 2 hours until crisp, pliable or
leathery depending on the product.
• Check foods to make sure they are completely dry before removing. Open or cut
down the middle of a few samples to check internal dryness. If the food is still moist,
dehydrate longer.
• Label each container with the food name, date of drying and the original weight.
Keep a journal to help improve drying techniques.
• Proper storage is essential to maintain quality food. Package the food when
cool. Foods can be kept longer if stored in a cool, dark, dry place. The ideal storage
temperature is 60oF (16oC) or lower.
• Place dried foods in plastic freezer bags before storing in metal or glass containers.
Remove as much air as possible before sealing.
• Vacuum sealing is ideal for keeping dried foods.
• Remember, foods will shrink approximately 1/4 to 1/2 their original size and weight
during the dehydration process, so pieces should not be cut too small. One pound of
raw meat will yield approximately 1/3 lb. (0.2 kg) to 1/2 lb. (0.2 kg) of jerky.
• Use the Drying Guide on the Control Panel as a reference for proper temperature
settings. If the heat is set too high, food may harden and dry on the outside...yet be
moist on the inside. If the temperature is too low, the drying time will increase.
TIPS
While it is not necessary to reconstitute your dried foods, you can do so with ease.
Vegetables can be used as a side dish or in recipes very effectively after being
reconstituted in the following way.
• Dehydrated food can be re-hydrated by soaking in cold water for 3-5 minutes.
Use 1 cup of water for 1 cup of dehydrated food. Once re-hydrated, the food can be
cooked normally. Soaking foods in warm water will speed up the process, however,
it may result in loss of avor.
• Dehydrated fruits and vegetables can be soaked in cold water for 2-6 hours in the
refrigerator. WARNING! Soaking at room temperature allows harmful bacteria
to grow.
• Do not add seasoning. Adding salt or sugar during re-hydration may change the
avor of the food.
• To make stewed fruits or vegetables, add 2 cups of water and simmer until tender.
• Consume dehydrated foods as soon as possible once the storage container is
opened. Keep any unused portions in the refrigerator to avoid contamination.
RE-HYDRATING

MAKING JERKY
Your meat should be as lean as possible. Using lean meat will help the meat dry
faster and aid in cleanup by decreasing fat drippings. Ground meat should be 80%
to 90% lean. Ground turkey, venison, buffalo and elk are other excellent choices for
jerky.
Jerky seasonings are available for all tastes, or you can get creative and make your
own. Whenever you make jerky, you should cure the mixture with cure (sodium
nitrite). The cure is used to help prevent botulism during drying at low temperatures.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions on the cure packet.
Keep raw meats and their juices away from other foods. Marinate meats in the
refrigerator. Do not leave meats un-refrigerated. Prevent cross-contamination by
storing dried jerky away from raw meat. ALWAYS wash hands thoroughly with soap
and water before and after working with meat products. Use clean equipment and
utensils.
Keep meat and poultry refrigerated at 40°F (5oC) or slightly below; use or freeze
ground beef and poultry within 2 days; whole red meats, within 3 to 5 days. Defrost
frozen meat in the refrigerator, not on the kitchen counter.
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.
When using a Dehydrator, check the temperature of the Dehydrator with a dial
thermometer before drying jerky. The minimum recommended temperature or drying
meats is 145°F (63oC). Temperatures below 145°F (63oC) are not recommended.
IMPORTANT: Before you place the meat in a dehydrator, it is highly recommended
to heat the meat to 160°F (71oC) BEFORE the dehydrating process. This step
assures that any bacteria present will be destroyed by wet heat. After heating to
160°F (71oC), maintaining a constant dehydrator temperature of 130-140°F (55-
60oC) during the drying process is important because:
1.) the process must be fast enough to dry food before it spoils; and
2.) it must remove enough water so that microorganisms are unable to grow.
If you are using a marinade, shake off excess liquid before placing the meat in evenly
spaced single layers approximately 1/4” (0.64 cm) apart on the Dehydrator racks.
Dry meat at 145-150°F (63-66oC) for 4-7 hours. You may need to blot fat droplets
from the surface of the meat occasionally, using a paper towel. Drying times may
vary based on many circumstances including but not limited to: the relative humidity
of the room, the temperature of the meat at beginning of drying process, the amount
of meat in the dehydrator, leanness of meat, etc. Always allow jerky to cool before
taste testing.
CAUTION! It is important to follow the “Food Safety” guidelines outlined in this
manual. For the most up to date instruction visit the USDA website.

There are basic rules to follow when handling food.
They are COOK, SEPARATE, CLEAN, and CHILL.
COOK
It’s crucial to cook food to a safe internal temperature to destroy bacteria that is present.
The safety of hamburgers and other foods made with ground meat has been receiving a lot
of attention lately, and with good reason. When meat is ground, the bacteria present on the
surface is mixed throughout the ground mixture. If this ground meat is not cooked to at least
160oF to 165oF (71oC to 74oC), bacteria will not be destroyed and there’s a good chance you
will get sick.
Solid pieces of meat like steaks and chops don’t have dangerous bacteria like E. coli on the
inside, so they can be served more rare. Still, any beef cut should be cooked to an internal
temperature of at least 145oF (63oC) (medium rare). The safe temperature for poultry is 180oF
(82oC) and solid cuts of pork should be cooked to 160oF (71oC). Eggs should be thoroughly
cooked too. If you are making a meringue or other recipe that uses uncooked eggs, buy
specially pasteurized eggs or use prepared meringue powder.
SEPARATE
Foods that will be eaten uncooked and foods that will be cooked before eating MUST ALWAYS
be separated. Cross-contamination occurs when raw meats or eggs come in contact with
foods that will be eaten uncooked. This is a major source of food poisoning. Always double-
wrap raw meats and place them on the lowest shelf in the refrigerator so there is no way juices
can drip onto fresh produce. Then use the raw meats within 1-2 days of purchase, or freeze for
longer storage. Defrost frozen meats in the refrigerator, not on the counter.
When grilling or cooking raw meats or sh, make sure to place the cooked meat on a clean
platter. Don’t use the same platter you used to carry the food out to the grill. Wash the utensils
used in grilling after the food is turned for the last time on the grill, as well as spatulas and
spoons used for stir-frying or turning meat as it cooks.
Make sure to wash your hands after handling raw meats or raw eggs. Washing hands with
soap and water, or using a pre-moistened antibacterial towelette is absolutely necessary after
you have touched raw meat or raw eggs. Not washing hands and surfaces while cooking is a
major cause of cross-contamination.
CLEAN
Wash your hands and work surfaces frequently when you are cooking. Washing with soap
and warm water for at least 15 seconds, then dry with a paper towel.
CHILL
Chilling food is very important. The danger zone where bacteria multiply is between 40oF and
140oF (4oC and 6oC). Your refrigerator should be set to 40oF (4oC) or below; your freezer should
be 0oF (-17oC) or below. Simple rule: serve hot foods hot, cold foods cold. Use chang dishes
or hot plates to keep food hot while serving. Use ice water baths to keep cold foods cold. Never
let any food sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours - 1 hour if the ambient temperature
is 90oF (32oC) or above. When packing or a picnic, make sure the foods are already chilled
when they go into the insulated hamper. The hamper won’t chill food - it just keeps food cold
when properly packed with ice. Hot cooked foods should be placed in shallow containers and
immediately 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.

INSTRUCCIONES EN ESPAÑOL
ES IMPORTANTE LEER Y COMPRENDER todas las instrucciones y
precauciones antes de usar el deshidratador.
1. Opere el deshidratador en una supercie limpia y seca.
2. Conecte el deshidratador en un tomacorriente estándar de 120 volts y 60 Hz.
3. Coloque el deshidratador a por lo menos 15 cm (6”) de la pared durante su
funcionamiento para permitir la circulación del aire adecuada. ¡ADVERTENCIA!
NO bloquee las ventilas de la parte trasera del deshidratador.
5. Encienda el deshidratador “ON” (-). Cuando está en “ON”, el interruptor de
corriente debe iluminarse.
6. Caliente el deshidratador de 5 a 10 minutos antes de cargar los alimentos en
las charolas de deshidratación.
7. Elimine el exceso de agua de los alimentos. (Esto puede hacerse dándole
golpecitos con una toalla de papel o servilleta.) El exceso de humedad puede hacer
que baje la temperatura del deshidratador.
8. Cargue las charolas del deshidratador con los artículos que vaya a secar.
Coloque las piezas para que no se toquen entre sí. No las traslape ni permita que
se toquen. Deje un amplio espacio entre las piezas para permitir la circulación
adecuada del aire.
NOTA: Al deshidratarse, pueden formarse gotitas de agua en la supercie de
algunos productos. Éstas pueden eliminarse secando el producto con una toalla
limpia o una toalla de papel.
NOTA: El tiempo de secado depende de varios factores, como la humedad relativa,
la temperatura del aire y el grosor, la temperatura y el contenido de grasa del
producto.
INSTRUCCIONES DE OPERACIÓN
SELECCIONE LOS ALIMENTOS
• Use alimentos de la mejor calidad. Las frutas y verduras de temporada tienen
más nutrientes y mejor sabor. La carne, el pescado y las aves deben ser magros y
frescos.
• No use alimentos con magulladuras o manchas. Una fruta o verdura mala puede
echar a perder todo el lote.
• Use siempre carne magra. Quítele toda la grasa posible antes de deshidratarla.
NOTA: Ponga una toalla de papel abajo de la carne al deshidratarla para que
absorba la grasa.
ADVERTENCIA Es importante seguir los lineamientos “Seguridad en alimentos” establecidos
en este manual. Visite el sitio Web de USDA para ver las instrucciones actualizadas.
