How To Operate Your
Food Dehydrator
Your food dehydrator is simple to use and is designed to make the dehydration
process simple and accurate if the instructions are followed. Be sure that you have read
the safety tips at the beginning of this manual before proceeding.
The first time you turn on your food dehydrator you may notice an aroma. This
is a normal by-product of the manufacturing process. To avoid this smell from being
transferred to the food, place one tray and the lid on the base, and following the
instructions below for your specific model, allow the unit to run without food in place until
the aroma is gone. This is only necessary the very first time you use the dehydrator, and
takes less than one hour.
Before you begin preparing your food, wash and dry the trays, the lid, and the tray
liners if they are to be used. Locate the base where the dehydrator will be left during
the drying process and insure that the cord will reach an outlet in a safe manner. In this
way, as you prepare the food you can place it right on the trays. As a tray is filled it can
be placed on the dehydrator and you will be ready to start the dehydrator in no time!.
Operating Instructions
Your dehydrator is equipped with an “ON/OFF” switch (switch and panel design
will vary, but operation is the same for these models). The temperature is computer
controlled, preset at the factory and is not adjustable by the user. The switch gives
the user a convenient way to turn the dehydrator off while changing or rotating trays.
Dehydrating:
1- Locate the appliance in a safe place.
2- Load and then inset the trays.
3- Insert plug in proper outlet.
4- Select the switch’s “ON” position. The switch itself will illuminate indicating that the
unit is on. You will also hear the fan operating.
5- When finished, turn the switch “OFF” and remove the plug from the outlet.
If you will not be available to turn the dehydrator off at the correct time you may
want to connect the dehydrator to an automatic appliance timer similar. Be sure that the
timer’s specifications state that the timer has a capacity of at least 5 amps.
