Frequently Asked Questions - Elin SG500 Eldom

How do I set the operating time on the SG500?

Press the power switch/timer button (6) once. While the digits on the display are flashing, press the button repeatedly to set the desired time (1-48 hours). Once the digits stop flashing, the appliance starts. The time can only be set when the digits are flashing.

Can I change the temperature during operation?

Yes, you can adjust the temperature at any time by turning the temperature control knob (4). The temperature range is 40°C to 70°C.

What are the recommended drying temperatures for different foods?

Herbs: 40°C; Bread: 40-50°C; Vegetables: 50-55°C; Fruits: 55-60°C; Meat and Fish: 65-70°C.

How should I prepare fruits before drying?

Wash fruits, remove any overripe parts, pits, or stones. Cut into even slices (e.g., 3 mm for bananas and strawberries). Some fruits like apples can be dipped in a pretreatment solution for 2 minutes to prevent browning. Drain and place on the trays.

How do I clean the dehydrator?

Unplug and let it cool. Wash the screens (trays) and lid in lukewarm water. Wipe the base with a slightly damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water or use aggressive cleaning agents. Do not wash parts in a dishwasher.

Why won't my dehydrator start?

Ensure it is plugged into a working outlet. Press the power switch (6) once – the display will flash. If you do not set a time, the appliance will start automatically after the flashing stops. If it still doesn't start, check the power cord and circuit breaker.

How long does it take to dry apples?

Drying time for apples is typically 4 to 15 hours at recommended temperature (55-60°C). The exact time depends on slice thickness and moisture content.

Can I dry meat and fish in the SG500?

Yes, meat and fish can be dried at 65-70°C. Ensure they are fresh and cut into thin strips. Drying time varies; check for toughness and no moistness.

How should I store dried products?

Allow dried products to cool completely. Store in clean, dry glass containers with metal lids in a dark, dry place. Herbs can be stored in paper bags. Ensure containers are airtight.

What is the warranty coverage?

The appliance is intended for personal household use only. Any misuse or professional use voids the warranty. For repairs, contact an authorized service center.

INTENDED USE

Drying is an effective way to preserve food. Warm air at a constant and adjustable temperature circulates freely inside the appliance between the top and bottom covers, the height-adjustable screens and the power base. Therefore, the products in the appliance sections are dried evenly and with minimal loss of health-promoting vitamins. This way you will enjoy fruits, vegetables and mushrooms that are prepared without unhealthy substances all year round.

You can use the SG500 dryer to dry most food products including:

• mushrooms,
