Dehydrate The dehydrate mode 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. Use dehydrate to dry and/or
preserve foods such as fruits, vegetables and
herbs. This mode holds an optimum low tem-
perature (100° F - 160° F) while circulating the
heated air to slowly remove moisture. The oven
will stay on for 48 hours before shutting off
automatically.
For Best Results:
• Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140° F. Dry herbs at 100° F. (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.
• Multiple drying racks (not included) can be used simultaneously. Contact
your dealer to order drying racks.
• Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.
• Consult a food preservation book, county Cooperative Extension Office or
library for additional information.
