Revision 02/2022

• Prior to using this appliance, please read the user’smanual

thoroughly, even in cases, when one has already familiarised

themselves with previous use of similar types of appliances. Only use

the appliance in the manner described in this user’smanual. Keep

this user’smanual in asafe place where it can be easily retrieved for

future reference.

• We recommend saving the original cardboard box, packaging

material, purchase receipt and responsibility statement of the vendor

or warranty card for at least the duration of the legal liability for

unsatisfactory performance or quality. In the event of transportation,

we recommend that you pack the appliance in the original box from

the manufacturer.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT BETWEEN THE TRAYS

• The food dehydrator offers two options for setting tray heights. To

set the lower (default) height, place the trays on top of each other as

shown in B1. Turn the trays so that the tabs located at the bottom

of the trays are placed adjacent to the grooves, located at the top of

every tray.

• To set aclearance, turn and seat the trays so that the tabs fit precisely

in to the grooves as shown in B2.

TURNING ON THE DEVICE

• Connect the appliance to apower socket and then turn it on by turning

button A3 clockwise, and set the desired dehydration temperature.

TRAY ROTATION

• This food dehydrator is ingeniously designed on the basis of hot

air convection for the extraction of moisture from food. During the

dehydration process, the trays should be rotated to ensure even

dehydration of the contents. The trays nearest the bottom are exposed

to the greatest amount of heat – here the dehydration process is

faster.

• Therefore, simply take them out and place them at ahigher level, and

move the higher trays closer to the bottom part of the dehydrator.

REMEMBER

1) You will achieve the best results when quality food is used. Always

dehydrate fresh, good quality food; abad piece may affect the

quality of the entire contents of the dehydrator.

2) It is important that the food is clean – thoroughly clean it, dispose of

soft or spoiled pieces.

Make sure that you have clean hands; this relates to kitchen utensils

and the individual dehydrator trays that you use for preparing food.

3) Dehydration time varies and depends on the amount of food,

thickness of the individual pieces, their size, ambient air humidity

and the moisture contained directly in the food.

4) Allow food to cool down before checking the degree of dehydration.

5) If necessary, the trays may be filled up completely, and the

individual pieces may almost be touching, but must not overlap.

6) Approximately 6–10 % moisture content may remain in dehydrated

foods without risking their spoilage. Many dehydrated foods will

have aleathery consistency similar to that of licorice.

7) Rotate the trays whenever you notice that dehydration is uneven or

when the dehydrator is completely filled with food.

8) To remove stones, kernels and stems from plums, grapes, cherries,

dry them to 50% and then remove the stems, kernels, etc. In this

way, you will prevent losing juice from the food.

TABLE OF RECOMMENDED FOOD DEHYDRATION TIMES

• The provided times are only approximates and depend on room

temperature, air humidity, moisture of the food being dehydrated and

on the thickness of the food slices. Natural juiciness of food varies. The

fructose contained in certain types of fruit requires longer dehydration

times.

Food Preparation Dehydration

time

Apples Remove the peels,

kernels and cut into slices

or rings. Soak them for

2minutes before placing

them in the dehydrator.

Then dry them and place

them on adrying tray.

They are

4–15hours

Apricots Dehydrate them cut in

half or cut into quarters.

Before dehydration,

prepare them so as to

retain their colour and not

to damage the peel.

They are

8–36hours

Mushrooms Select fresh, young

mushrooms Remove

any dirt using abrush or

adamp cloth. Cut into

pieces, trim or dry whole

on their size

and age

3–10hours

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

• Before cleaning the appliance, turn it off and disconnect it from the

power grid.

• To clean the individual trays of the food dehydrator, simply use awiping

cloth moistened in aweak detergent solution; in the case of greater

soiling, you may wash the trays under lukewarm running water.

• Do not use thinners or solvents or any abrasive cleaning agents to

clean the appliance – they may damage the surface.

• When not using the appliance, store it in adry place out of

children’sreach. You can use the cardboard box of the appliance for

storing the appliance (after first disassembling it).

• Before first use, it is necessary to thoroughly wash all the accessories

of the appliance (the individual trays, lid) in hot water using kitchen

detergent and then rinse with drinking water.

• Before first use, we also recommend running the appliance empty

for at least 4 hours. After turning the appliance off, allow it and all its

accessories to cool down and air out to rid them of potential odours.
