Convection Dehydrate
CAUTION
You must carefully check the food during the dehydration process to
ensure that it does not catch fire.
Convection Defrost
WARNING
To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to
remain in the oven for more than two hours.
Convection Dehydrate
This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits
and vegetables. Warm air is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear
of the oven and over a period of time, the water is removed from
the food by evaporation. Removal of water inhibits growth of
microorganisms and retards the activity of enzymes. It is important to
remember that dehydration does not improve the quality, so only
fresh, top-quality foods should be used.
1. Prepare the food as recommended.
2. Arrange the food on drying racks (not included with the oven;
contact a local store handling speciality cooking utensils).
3. Set the temperature control to 200°F (93.3°C) and turn on the
convection fan.
Convection Defrost
Air is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven. The fan
accelerates natural defrosting of the food without heat. To avoid
sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to remain in
the oven for more than two hours.
1. Place the frozen food on a baking sheet.
2. Set the oven temperature control knob to “OFF” and turn on the
convection fan.
