IMPORTANT
This manual contains information about the use and
upkeep of the Wartmann dehydrator. Read this
manual carefully before you start using the Wartmann
dehydrator and keep this manual for possible future
use.
Only suitable for domestic use
The Wartmann dehydrator is exclusively intended
for normal household use. In case of professional
or improper use, which is not in accordance with
the instructions in the manual and in the event of
selfperformed repair, the warranty will expire and
Wartmann will refuse any responsibility for the
resulting damage.
Check electrical connections
Check if the voltage indicated on the Wartmann
dehydrator corresponds with the local mains voltage
before connecting the Wartmann dehydrator.
Connect the Wartmann dehydrator only to earthed
sockets. In case the plug, power cord or the
Wartmann dehydrator itself is damaged, first have
it repaired or replaced by a certified service centre.
Avoid contact with water
The Wartmann dehydrator contains electrical parts.
Make sure that water can never end up on the power
cord inlet, the back side or the control panel to
prevent electric shock and/or damage to the
Wartmann dehydrator.
Contains heating elements
Do not touch the heating element inside, it could be
hot. Do not position the Wartmann dehydrator near
flammable gasses or cleaning agents (such as
methylated spirit).

FOOD TREATMENT
Hygienic precautions for plant products
Always work hygienic and use only fresh products
that are properly cooled and stored until preparation.
Check if food is spoiled, before using it. Food that
is spoiled may contaminate your entire batch. We
recommend to only use fresh and if possible seaso-
nal food. Never use food that is marinated in alcohol
toavoid the risk of a fire or explosion.
Hygienic precautions for animal products
Dehydrating at medium range temperatures does not
kill pathogens. It is therefore important that any meat
or fish that is being dehydrated has been properly
heated first, as to illuminate the risk of a pathogen
contamination.
Meat should be heated to a temperature above
68 degrees Celsius for a longer period prior to
dehydrating.
A piece with a thickness of 5 centimetre should be
heated for at least 14 minutes at this temperature.
Thicker pieces require a longer time. Fish should
be heated until 90 degrees Celsius until flaky. Fat
should be removed from meat as much as possible.
Too much fat may cause unwanted dripping.
Food preparation
Food should be sliced to a thickness of 6 to 20 mm.
Meats slices should ideally not be thicker than 5 mm.
Fruit can best be soaked in a citric liquid, such as
lemon juice, for a few minutes to avoid the loss of
colour.
Vegetables may require blanching. This will inhibit
the enzymatic activity which causes loss of flavour
and colour fading. Cook the vegetables or place
them in the microwave until they are done, but still
a bit crispy.
Subsequently you immerse the vegetables in cold
water, stopping the cooking process. Next, dry the
vegetables with, for instance, a clean towel.

7
All the food should be dry before placing it in the
dehydrator. It should be placed on dehydration
trayswithout overlapping.
Optimal drying temperature and duration
Nutrients such as enzymes and vitamins are
maximally preserved at a drying temperature be-
low 42 ° C. The drying time depends on various
factors such as the moisture content, the maturity, the
average thickness, the set drying temperature and
the total filling of the dryer. The drying time must
be set so that the food dries completely. As a rule
of thumb you can do the following test: When you
take a few slices or pieces between two fingers you
can immediately feel whether they are still damp. If
the surface no longer sticks to the fingers, or the
surfaces of either slices or pieces can’t slide
against each other, the drying is sufficient. You can
choose to shorten the drying time by increasing the
temperature.
Food Storage
Protect dried food from moist and insects by storing it
in vacuum containers, airtight pots or vacuum sealed
bags. You can enjoy your self-dried food for a
long time by storing it in a cool and dark place.
Wartmann supplies various types of vacuum devices,
vacuum bags and (vacuum) storage boxes.

PREPARING FOR FIRST USE
Unpack the dehydrator
Take the Wartmann dehydrator out of the box and
remove all packaging materials. The power cord
and the door handle (with 2 screws) are packed
separately. The steel trays and the dripping tray are
located in the oven. They are tied together with ty
raps. Remove the ty raps before using the Wartmann
dehydrator. Position the Wartmann dehydrator
near an electric connection, on a stable horizontal
surface, in a place where the Wartmann dehydrator
can’t fall or be knocked over.
Place the trays

nothing is between the tray and the ventilator mesh
at the back.
Connect the power cable
The Wartmann dehydrator comes with a detachable
power cord. Plug the connector of the power cord

Take out your food
Once the set time has been reached the dehydrator will automatically stop. Open the door and take out your
trays. Be careful, the trays may still be hot. If necessary, use some oven wants or utensils to take the trays or
food out of the dehydrator.

13
Power Off
Press the switch at the back of the Wartmann
dehydrator to power off (‘0’) the Wartmann
dehydrator. It is recommended to always power off
the unit and take out the power cord off the socket
before cleaning.
Cleaning
The stainless steel trays can be simply cleaned with
warm water, dish washing liquid and a brush af-
ter use. The inside of the Wartmann dehydrator can
be cleaned with a detergent that is safe to use in
ovens, such as an oven cleaner. The outside of the
Wartmann dehydrator may be cleaned with a
microfiber cloth and a soft detergent, or a cleaner
that is suited for stainless steel. Always be careful
around the power cord inlet and power switch.
Make sure no water can get inside the switch or on
the power cord. To clean the power cord it must first
be removed from the wall socket.
Storing
We advise to clean the stainless steel trays, the
dripping tray and the inside of the Wartmann
dehydrator straight after use to avoid undesired
bacteria growth. Do not leave wet stainless steel
trays in the Wartmann dehydrator when it is not
being used.
Maintenance
Your Wartmann dehydrator does not require any
special maintenance.
AFTER USE
