.)ps on 7ry)n-:

The drying time may vary depending on:

• the size and thickness of the dried pieces (fineness)
• the number of trays used
• the quantity of foods dried
• the humidity in the room where the unit is used
• your preference in terms of the degree of food dryness.

It )s re6o88en7e7 to:

• Control the drying process at least once every hour.
• Rotate and / or change the position of the trays
• 7abel the container used to store dried foods with a date and time of drying. This is helpful in the future to determine the drying time and shelf life.
• Prepare the food properly before drying (wash, dry and cut)
• Assure suitable storage after drying, as this allows the high quality of products and nutrients to be preserved for longer.

Stor°-e:

• Put the dried food in the target containers only after it has cooled down.
• Food can be kept longer in a dark, cool and dry place.
• Removing the maximum amount of air from the container used for storing the dried products allows one to get better results - we recommend vacuum storage.
• The optimal storage temperature is 15^ C or lower.
• Never store dried foods in metal containers
• Containers in which dried food is stored should be tightly sealed.
• Check the state of dried foods. If you notice moisture, we recommend re-drying - this prevents decomposition from starting.
• Dried foods should not be stored for more than 1 year - this maximum period is possible, if food is kept in an airtight container in a refrigerator.
