Drying
Dehydrating or drying is a traditional
method of preserving fruit, certain ve-
getables and herbs.
It is important that fruit and vegetables
are ripe and not bruised before they are
dried.
Peel and core the food for drying, if
necessary, and cut it up.
Distribute the food for drying evenly
in a single layer according to size
over the wire rack or the universal
tray.
Tip: You can also use the gourmet per-
forated baking tray, if you have one.
Dry on a maximum of 2levels at the
same time.
Place the food for drying on shelf
levels1+3.
If using the wire rack and universal
tray, place the universal tray below
the wire rack.
Select Fan plus.
Alter the recommended temperature
and then set the drying time.
Turn the food for drying on the univer-
sal tray at regular intervals.
The drying times are longer for whole
or halved dried food.
