Drying Other Items
Flowers
The flowers should be picked after the dew has dried and before the evening
dampness. Flowers should be dried as quickly and as soon as possible after picking.
Discard any damaged or brown leaves. Place in trays without overlapping. Drying times
will vary depending upon size and type of flower. Dry for approximately 2 to 36 hours.
Herbs
Rinse and shake off excess water. Pat dry. Remove dead or discolored leaves. If
using seed, pick when pods have changed color. You should leave herbs on the stem
and remove when drying has been completed. Spread herbs loosely on tray. Drying
times will vary according to size and type. Dry for approximately 2 to 6 hours.
Nuts
Shell and rinse with hot water. Spread in a single layer onto trays. After dehydrating,
allow nuts to cool before storing. Nuts contain a lot of oil and the oil could cause the nuts
to become rancid, so you should freeze them to guarantee freshness. When ready to
use the nuts, bring them to room temperature. Dry for approximately 18 to 26 hours.
If Service is Needed
If your dehydrator experiences a problem, first refer to the Troubleshooting Guide
located in this manual. This page contains numerous tips for diagnosing and solving
common problems. If the solution cannot be found there, contact the dealer or
distributor where you purchased the unit and request additional assistance or arrange
for repair service.
When returning the unit for service DO NOT SEND DRYING TRAYS unless they
are defective or you were requested to do so.
The electrical parts in the base are not designed to be serviceable by the user.
Opening the electrical portion of the base can void your warranty or damage the
dehydrator beyond repair. Any such work should only be performed by an authorized
service center.
