APPLIANCE DESCRIPTION (Fig. 1) A Lid B Basket C Appliance body D ON/OFF switch (I/O) E Temperature adjusting dial Dehydration of products is an effective preservation way. Hot air of a fixed adjustable temperature circulates freely inside the appliance between the lid and the baskets, thus allowing an even drying of products with a minimum loss of healthy vitamins. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy fruit, vegetable and mushrooms, medicinal plants or prepare cereals.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

ATTENTION: Before using the appliance, it is recommended to wash all removable parts that will be in contact with food using water and common dish detergent. - Position the previously prepared products into the baskets (B). Note: Do not put too many products into one basket and do not place them one on top of another to allow free circulation of air among them. It is advisable to put all baskets on the appliance during use, regardless of the number of baskets used. - Position the baskets (B) used one on top of another (C) (Fig. 2), making sure they are stable. - Put the lid (A) on the upper basket (Fig. 3). - Plug the appliance in and switch it on by bringing the switch (D) to position “I”; the indicator light will turn on red. - By rotating the apposite dial (E), set the dehydrating temperature. Hereunder are some tips for the temperature mode: Herbs 35-40 °C Bread 40-50°C Yoghurt 45°C Vegetables 50-55°C Fruit 55-60°C Fish / Meat 65-70°C - After use, turn the appliance off by bringing the switch to “O” and disconnect it from mains outlet.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

- Wash the products before inserting them into the baskets. Do not put wet products into the appli- ance. - Cut the non-edible parts of the products. Cut the products in order to position them freely into the baskets without overlapping them. The dehydrating duration depends on the piece thickness. - To prevent a too long dehydrating time, it is advisable to boil vegetable for 1-2 minutes first and then to put them in cold water. - FRUIT can be dried after having peeled it, pure or with lemon/apple juice to prevent it from loosing colour. IT is possible to add cinnamon for a more pleasant smell. - After dehydration of medical plants, it is advisable to put them in paper bags or glass cans and store them in a dark and fresh place. - Before dehydration, prepare poultry in advance. It is advisable to boil or fry it. - It is advisable to boil or cook fish before proceeding with dehydration (cook for about 20 minutes at a temperature of 200°C). - The containers for storing the dried products must be clean and dry. - For a better preservation of dried fruit, use glass containers with metal covers and put them in a dark and fresh place at a temperature between 5°C and 20°C. - During the first week after dehydration, check whether there is humidity in the container. If the products are dried properly, proceed with a new dehydrating cycle.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

- Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down before cleaning or store it. - Use a damp, clean cloth to clean the internal and external side of the appliance body. - The lid and the baskets must be washed by hand with hot water and mild detergent.

The removable parts can be put also in the dishwasher; anyway, using the dishwasher may alter the surface finishing. The damage would have to be only aesthetic and would not have to modify the appliance operation. Do not use metal brushes, abrasive and pure detergents for cleaning the appliance, since they can damage the surface.FR
