IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The EZIDRI ULTRA FD1000 and the EZIDRI SNACKMAKER have been
manufactured to the highest standards. As with all household electrical appliances,
care should be taken to ensure units remain electrically safe and the following
instructions should be noted:
1 PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2 WHEN THE UNIT IS FIRST SWITCHED ON, ENSURE THAT THE FAN IN
THE CENTRE OF THE BASE IS ROTATING. This will be apparent by both
sight and sound. If not,unplug the EZIDRI immediately and return it to your
local retailer.
3 To protect against electrical hazards:
(a) Do not immerse the Ezidri base, cord or plug in water or other liquid.
(b) Do not pour or spill water or liquid down the opening at the top or any
other opening.
(c) When preparing roll-ups or purées always fill the solid sheet on an
individual tray off the Ezidri and then carefully transfer the tray to the unit.
(d) When preparing roll-ups, ensure that the purée is of such a heavy consis
tency that it will not spill over the solid sheet. The consistency should be
such that a spatula is required to spread the produce evenly.
(e) Do not move the unit whilst the produce is being dried.
(f) To clean the base - first switch off the power and remove the plug from the
power supply. Wipe the base with a damp cloth.
4 Unplug the unit from the outlet when not in use.
5 Do not operate the appliance if it malfunctions or has been damaged in any
manner. Return appliance to your retailer or send to an authorised service
agent for examination, repair or adjustment.
6 If the cord or plug is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorised service
agent.
7 Do not use the unit or accessories for any other purpose than that for which
the appliance has been designed - ie: food drying.
8 Do not use accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
9 Avoid using sharp instruments that could damage the Ezidri.
10 Do not use outdoors.
11 Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
12 Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
13 Always refer to the Instruction Book supplied and if in doubt contact your
local retailer or national distributor for advice.
14. The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons
without supervision.
15. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
CARE OF YOUR EZIDRI
TOP: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth after removing from the unit. Do not use
abrasive pads or sharp utensils.
TRAYS & MESH SHEETS: Soak in warm water with a mild detergent. A soft
bristled brush will loosen dried-on food particles. A weak solution of bleach and
water will whiten badly stained mesh sheets.
SOLID SHEETS: Wash with warm water or wipe over with paper towel. Do not
use detergent.
BASE: DO NOT PUT BASE, CORD OR PLUG IN WATER: Wipe with a soft,
damp cloth and do not use abrasive pads or sharp utensils.
DO NOT USE: any solvents on any part of the EZIDRI as these may damage the
unit.
USING YOUR EZIDRI
1 Remove trays which are located between the top and base of your EZIDRI.
2 Plug cord into electrical outlet and switch on the power. Check that the fan is
rotating and allow the unit to warm up for a few minutes while preparing the
first tray of food.
3 Select the temperature recommended for the product you are drying.
4 Place the food on the trays with pieces not quite touching. Do not spray trays
with vegetable oils or fat as this may cause the trays to crack.
5 Use a mesh sheet on a tray when drying herbs and flowers or items which
can slip through the spokes in the tray. The flexibility of the mesh sheet
makes it easy to remove dried-on fruit and vegetables, like bananas and
tomatoes.
6 Use a solid sheet, lightly oiled with vegetable oil, on a tray when drying
purses for roll-ups or soups and meals. Use a paper towel to wipe the solid
sheet if excess fat accumulates on the solid sheet. Place a solid sheet on the
bottom tray nearest the base when drying herbs and flowers.
7 Always fill the trays away from the drier and then carefully transfer the tray to
the base of the unit, particularly when making roll-ups, as the pur6e could
spill into the base.
8 Place the unit in a WELL VENTILATED AREA.
9 HYGIENE
■Wash hands thoroughly before handling food.
■Detergent, bleach and water will ensure utensils, containers and cutting
surfaces are thoroughly cleaned.
■Prepare food quickly for drying and store excess supplies in refrigerator
until ready to be used.
■If leaving dried food to cool in drier before storing, cover the centre outlet
to stop flies and insects entering.
■Always store dried foods in air-tight containers in a cool, dark place.
