Important safety instructions

• Remember that the surfaces of the housing become hot during use.
• Do not allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces.
• This appliance is not intended for use by any person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
  Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• To prevent the housing from being damaged, do not position the appliance on or near hot surfaces, open flames or inflammable vapours.
• When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord.
  The noise level does not exceed 70dB(A).
• In order to comply with safety regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs of electrical appliances must be carried out by qualified personnel, including the replacement of the power cord. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The addresses can be found in the appendix to this manual.
• The fruit dryer is intended for domestic use only and not for commercial applications.

Before using the appliance for the first time

When the appliance is switched on for the first time, a slight smell may be emitted. This is normal and will only last for a very short time. It will help to let the empty appliance heat up for 30 minutes, ensuring sufficient ventilation. Afterwards clean the unit thoroughly (see General Care and Cleaning below).

Drying-racks

Depending on the quantity of food to be dried, up to five racks can be used at the same time.

General information:

The food or vegetables to be dried should be ripe, fresh, healthy and clean.

Dried foods keep their flavour and nutritional value, and they do not lose their mineral content. Once dried, they can be stored easily for many years, but it is imperative to use only ripe, fresh, healthy and clean fruit or vegetables etc.

When drying fruit, always remove the entire core, stems and stones (with the exception of cherries). Do not peel the fruit before drying. The use of lemon juice prior to the drying process prevents the fruit from discouining (i.e. turning brown).

Operation

Temperature is adjustable, the maximum temperature reached during operation is around 70^

• The fruit or vegetables to be dried should be cut into thin pieces of regular size and thickness.
• Spread the items to be dried evenly across each drying-rack. To ensure proper air circulation, make sure that the pieces do not touch each other.
• When using several drying-racks, the operating temperature decreases from the bottom to the top of the appliance;

accordingly, the drying time on the upper racks will increase.

• Replace the lid on the unit, insert the plug into a suitable wall socket and switch the unit on (note the time when switching on).
• Once the food items on the lower racks are sufficiently dried, the lower racks should be removed.

Should you wish to re-fill an emptied rack with fresh items, the rack should be inserted in the top position. The position of the drying-racks may be changed at any time.

DO NOT COVER THE HOLE OF THE RACK WITH FRUIT AND/OR VEGETABLES.

Storing dried food

Before the dried food items are stored, make sure that they are absolutely dry, and that they have cooled down completely after the drying process: this is essential for proper storage.

It is also of great importance that dried food is prevented from absorbing humidity during storage. Any storage tins, glasses or plastic bags should be sealed airtight. The preferred method is the use of an electric heat bag sealer to seal the bags containing the dried food. Do not expose dried food to light, but keep them in a dark location.

When the dried food items come to be used

Dried fruit and vegetables should be left in lukewarm water (make sure they are entirely covered by water) and oaked overnight. For soups or sauces, dried vegetables and herbs may be added without soaking them first.

Dried fruit, vegetables and herbs may be used in various ways when preparing food.

For details, please refer to the information available in cook books.

General Care and Cleaning

• Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely.
• Do not clean the appliance with water, and do not immerse it in water, but clean it with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
• The drying-racks and the lid may be cleaned with a damp cloth, using a mild detergent if necessary. The drying-racks are dish-washer safe.
