Operation

• Operating voltage: 220-240V\~, 50/60Hz, 200-240W
• Before first usage:

Please remove all packaging materials and clean all trays and inlay mats in accordance with the section "Cleaning". Place the inlay mats on the trays and stack the trays on top of each other as shown in the section "Components". Please connect the appliance to the power supply.
When the appliance is used for the first time, it must be put into operation for 30 minutes without any content. Possible smoke or odour development due to production-related residues are normal during this time. Please ensure adequate ventilation. When the time is over, the trays and inlay mats must be cleaned again. To do so, please remove the appliance from the power supply (see section "Cleaning").

- Preparation:

Please prepare the food to be dried. Fruit, vegetables, herbs, nuts, bread, meat or fish are suitable for the drying process. For vegetables and fruit it is recommended to cut them into thin slices.
- Spread your prepared food on the trays while starting with the lowest one. Make sure that there is space between two slices of food. Do not overfill the trays. Please always use at least three trays to ensure the functionality of the appliance.
The fine-meshed inlay mats can be used for particularly fine or small foods. If required, the height of the trays can be adjusted as well. For bigger food, arrange the trays in a way that the clips of two trays are positioned directly on top of each other, as shown in the following picture:

- As soon as you have finished the preparation, close the uppermost tray with the lid.

- Drying process:

- Control panel:

• Please connect the appliance to the power supply. An acoustic signal sounds.
  ○ Switch the appliance on by using the on/off button. Every operation on the control panel is accompanied acoustically. The display shows the default setting "10.00" which indicates a drying time of 10 hours. As soon as the dot between the hours and minutes flashes, the drying process begins. Due to the built-in fan, warm air is circulated evenly over all floors, drying your food.
• Use the timer setting button on the control panel to adjust the drying time between "00.30"

(30min.) and "19.30" (19hrs. 30min.) as required in steps of 30min. each. The appliance takes over your setting after three seconds. The remaining time is displayed.

The temperature can be set between 35° C and 70° C in 5° C steps depending on the desired dryness and thickness of the food using the temperature setting button. The appliance takes over your setting after three seconds.
Please note that in addition to the thickness of your food, the quantity, number of trays and humidity can also influence the drying process.
- If you notice uneven drying, rotate or change the stacking order of the trays.
As soon as your set time has elapsed, the appliance switches off automatically. An acoustic signal sounds and the fan continues to run for 10 seconds until the unit switches off completely. If you want to end the drying process before the time ends, press the on/off button.
The unit must not be used continuously for longer than 19.5 hours. Press the on/off button after 19.5 hours, disconnect the appliance from the power supply and allow it to cool for at least two hours before putting the appliance back into operation.
Once you are satisfied with the result, remove the unit from the power supply and take out your dried food.

- Storage:

• Please allow your food to cool completely before storing it in a cool, dry and dark place.
• Store the dried food as airtight as possible and never place it directly in a metal container.
  Please check your dried food for moisture during the weeks after the drying process. If there is moisture inside the food, you can dry the food again to extend its shelf life.
