SAVE THESR INSTRUCTIONS
Important Note:
 Always place the container on the supplied base when cooking your food. NEVER put the
container directly on the countertop.
 If the appliance provided with a flexible cord less than 4-1/2 feet (1.4 m) in length, please
note:
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) should be used to reduce
the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance; and
2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
 ATTENTION! Do not run the appliance for more than 20 hours in one single use. After 20
hours, Unplug and let it cool down for at least 2 hours before operating again.
 Do not operate near gas spray cans.
Feature of Dehydrator
This unit features an automatic fan, which circulates warm air producing a nice evenly dried
device! Dried foods are a great treat to snack on because they hold almost all of their
nutritional value and flavor.

·Perfect way to preserve fruit, snacks, vegetables, bread, flowers and more.
·The same tray，easy stack trays.
·Easy to clean up of the trays.
·Exquisite round design.
·Transparent cover allows you to check the food status around.
·The mesh fit into the dehydrator trays to keep foods that get very small when dried, from
falling through the tray grates. The screens may also be used when drying foods that stick to
the grates. Position the mesh on the dehydrator tray. Then place the food you want to dry on
the mesh screen. Once the food is dehydrated, lift the mesh screen out of the tray, using the
cutouts on the side of the screen. Remove food. Bending the screen is helpful for removing
foods that have a tendency to stick.
·A fruit roll sheet should be used when making fruit rolls and strips from fresh, frozen, or
canned fruit.
Before Use:
Cleaning:
Before using the first time, wipe all parts of the appliance. Clean the trays with a lightly
moistened cloth. Use detergent as needed. Do not wash the BASE in a dishwasher or
immerse it in water or any other liquid!!!
After cleaning the unit must be run in for 30 minutes without placing any food for drying during
this period. Any smoke or smells produced during this procedure are normal. Please
ensure sufficient ventilation. After the running in period, rinse the racks in water and dry all
parts. This act is only necessary for the first time. (DO NOT WASH THE BASE!!!)
Unplug the dehydrator from the power supply and let it cool down before cleaning. Use a soft
brush to remove food sticking. Dry all parts before storing the dehydrator.

Usage Method
Make sure that the dehydrator sits steadily on a solid, level surface.
1. Put the clean food in the trays. Load your food on the trays – Do not overload the trays and
never overlap the food. Close the cover.
Note: always start to load the food from the bottom tray to the top tray.
2. Connect the power supply. Press the control knob to ‘ON’ position – the indicator light will
light , the fan to start work.
Note: Make sure that the fan base is always in place when operating the dryer. If you do not
have time to dry all the food in one day, you can dry them the next day. In this case, you
should store the food in a container/polyethylene bag and put it in the freezer.
3. Set temperature
Note: Set low temperature for thin/small pieces of food or for a small load of food. Set high
temperature for drying thick/big pieces of food and large loads. The thermostat can also be
used to decrease the temperature as the food is near the end of its drying cycle making it
easier to control the final moisture level in the food.
4. Turn off the appliance (turn the control knob to the ‘0FF’ position) when you have finished
drying the food. Allow the food to cool. Store the food items in polyethylene bags or food
containers and place in the refrigerator.
5. Unplug the unit from the power point.
Hints:
·This dehydrator includes 5 stackable transparent trays and an overheat protection. The base
contains heating elements, motor, fan and thermostat.
·The air vents on the tray allow air to be circulated.
·Using a controlled heat temperature, air is circulated from the base of the dehydrator to each
of the five trays and the cover remove moisture from food.
·Depending on the moisture in the food itself and the humidity in the air, drying operation time
can change. Use the dryer in a dust free, well ventilated, warm and dry room. Well air
ventilation is also important.
· Fruit and vegetables dried in your food dehydrator will be different in appearance
from those sold in health food stores and supermarkets. This is due to your food
dehydrator uses no preservatives, no artificial coloring and only natural additives.
·Records of humidity, weight of produce before and after drying times, will be helpful to
improving your drying techniques for the future.

DRYING TIPS:
Drying time for pre-treatment fruit will vary according to the following factors:
1) thickness of pieces or slices
2) number of trays with food being dried
3) volume of food being dried
4) moisture or humidity in your environment
5) your preferences of drying for each type of dried food
It is recommended to:
 Check your food every hour.
 Label food with contents dried, date and weight before drying. It will also be helpful to
note the drying time for future reference.
 Pretreated food will give the best effect in drying.
 Correct food storage after drying also will help to keep food in good quality and save the
nutrients.

 Never store food directly in a metal container.
 Avoid containers that “breathe” or have a weak seal.
 Check the contents of your dried food for moisture during the weeks following
dehydration. If there is moisture inside, you should dehydrate the contents for a longer
time to avoid spoiling.
 For best quality, dried fruit, vegetables, herbs, nuts, bread should not be kept for more
than 1 year, if kept in the refrigerator or freezer.
