Cleaning

Pull the plug and allow the device to cool. Never immerse the device into water. Clean the electrical part with a damp cloth. Clean trays and the door with normal detergent and leave to dry.

Generally

Natural preservation of fruit and vegetables through a drying process in 40^ - 70^ warm air. Throughout the drying process, all moisture is extracted. Vitamins, minerals and nutrients are retained and the flavor is intensified.

After cooling the food, store it in a closable container. There you can keep it for a longer time.

It is important to ensure, that the food does not contain any residual moisture, as this may cause mold.

Usage

Dried fruits such as banana chips or thin slices of apples are healthy treats to nibble. Pay attention if small children eat dried fruits.

Dried vegetables and dried herbs can be used for cooking of sauces and soups. The dried vegetable or fruit can also be soaked overnight.

Preparation

The quality of the dried products is as good as that of the raw food. Therefore, only use washed and fresh fruits and vegetables. Please do not use overripe food! Remove all cores, stalks and stones (except cherries). Do not peel fruits.

Cut the food in equal pieces – thin slices dry faster. To avoid discoloration, brush the fruits with lemon juice. Place the food with the cut side up on the tray – the food may not be superimposed and the distance between the pieces must be chosen in a manner that air can circulate sufficiently.

As food dries differently, place congeneric fruits or vegetable on one tray only. A ready dried tray can be withdrawn during the drying process, or a new tray can be added. Vegetable with a firm structure should be blanched for 2 minutes in hot water.

  The display shows the remaining time.
