DEHYDRATE
Dehydrate dries with heat from a third element behind the
back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the
oven by the convection fan.
Dehydrating is used to dry and/or preserve foods such as
fruits, vegetables and herbs. This mode holds an optimum
low temperature (100 ° F =160° F) while circulating the heated
air to slowly remove moisture.
For Best Results:
Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140° R Dry herbs at
100° R (Refer to the Dehydrate Chart for examples).
Drying times vary depending on the moisture and sugar
content of the food, the size of the pieces, the amount
being dried and the humidity in the air. Check food at the
minimum drying time.
o Multiple racks can be used simultaneously. Contact your
Bosch dealer for drying racks.
o Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.
o Consult a food preservation book, county Cooperative
Extension Office or library for additional information.

wooden spoon) in the upper corner between the door and
