Dehydrate
Dehydrating or drying is a traditional
method of preserving fruit, certain
vegetables, and herbs.
It is important to check that fruit and
vegetables are fresh, ripe, and not
bruised before they are dehydrated.
Prepare the food for drying by cutting
it up, and peeling and coring it if
necessary.
Depending on how big it is, distribute
the food for drying as evenly as
possible over the wire rack or
universal tray in a single layer.
Tip: You can also use the perforated
Gourmet baking and AirFry 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 Special Modes.
Select Dehydrate.
Change the recommended
temperatures and set the drying time.
Follow the instructions on the display.
Turn the food for drying on the
universal tray at regular intervals.
The drying times are longer for whole
or halved dried food.
