Tips & recommendations

• After the work is finished, unplug the power plug, take out the food in time, do not keep the food in the machine for a long time.
  • If additional drying time is needed, follow the preceding steps to continue dehydrating.
• If you do not have time to dry all the food in one day, you can dry them the next day. In this case, you should store the food in a container/polyethylene bag and put it in the freezer.
• Fruit and vegetables dried in your food dehydrator will be different in appearance from those sold in health food stores and supermarkets. This is due to your food dehydrator uses no preservatives, no artificial coloring and only natural additives.

- Records of humidity, weight of produce before and after drying times, will be helpful to improving your drying techniques for the future.

For drying function:

Drying time for pre-treatment fruit will vary according to the following factors:

1. Thickness of pieces or slices
2. Number of trays with food being dried
3. Volume of food being dried
4. Moisture or humidity in your environment
5. Your preferences of drying for each type of dried food

It is recommended to:

1. Check your food every hour.
2. Rotate and/or re-stack your trays if you notice uneven drying.
3. Label food with contents dried date and weight before drying. It will also be helpful to note the drying time for future reference.
4. Pretreated food will give the best effect in drying.
5. Correct food storage after drying also will help to keep food in good quality and save the nutrients.

6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• After using, unplug the dehydrator from the power supply and let it cool down before cleaning. Use a soft brush to remove food sticking on the trays.
• Dry all parts with a dry cloth before storing the dehydrator.
• Clean the surface of body with wet cloth.
• Use paper towels to remove any stains remaining.
• Do not clean the appliance with aggressive chemicals or abrasives in order not to damage the surface.

Storage:

• Store food only after they have cooled down.
• Food can be kept longer if stored in a cool, dry and dark place.
• Remove all the air you possibly can from the storage container and close tightly.
  • Optimal storage temperature is 15^ C or lower.
• Never store food directly in a metal container.
• Avoid poor insulated containers.
• Check the contents of your dried food for moisture during the weeks following dehydration. If there is moisture inside, you should dehydrate the contents for a longer time to avoid spoiling.
• For best quality, dried fruit, vegetables, herbs, nuts, bread should not be kept for more than 1 year, if kept in the refrigerator or freezer.
• Dried meats, poultry and fish should be stored for no more than 3 months if kept in the refrigerator, or 1 year if kept in the freezer.
