FOR DEHYDRATING
- Always preheat the oven before placing the racks with the food inside. When preheating is complete,
the oven will emit three “beeps”.
- Slices of apples, pineapple, pears, peaches or bananas, placed directly on the dehydrating shelves, will
dry in 8 to 14 hours in the gently circulating warm air. Time will depend on the moisture in the fruit.
Herbs can also be dried. However, the limited quantity of vegetables that can be
dried at one time may not be worth your time and attention. Consult a book on
dehydrating food for specific directions as to times, pretreatment and storage of
dried foods.
- Stack the dehydrating shelves on top of one another, and then place them on the wire rack.
- Wait for the audible signal (3 times 3 short beeps) before inserting the wire rack in the
guide 3 (see figure).
- Always leave the door open to the stop position.
3 Set the time (max 14 hours) by
pressing the “-” (12) and “+”
(18) buttons. Keep the button
pressed for more than 2 sec-
onds to quickly scroll the time
up or down. For each press of
the button the time will increase
or decrease by one 1 minute.
