USING THE UNIT
Note: During the first operation some foreign smell and
a small amount of smoke from the heating element is
possible, this is normal.

Products loading
– Wash the products intended for dehydration, dry
– Wash the products intended for dehydration, dry
them with a paper towel and cut into small pieces.
– Put the foodstuffs on the trays (7) providing space for
hot air circulation between the pieces. Remember
that hot air flow should circulate freely in the trays.

– Install the lower tray (7) on the unit body (1) so the
ledges on the unit do not match the grooves on the
tray.
tray.
– Install the trays (7) on one another. You can adjust
the distance between the trays. To install the trays
close to each other insert the ledges of the lower tray
into the grooves of the upper tray. To install the trays
farther from each other slightly turn the upper tray so
its grooves do not match the ledges of the lower tray.

– Cover the trays (7) with the lid (8).
Notes:
Install all the trays even if some of them are empty.
Put the foodstuffs on the lower trays; place the
empty trays on top.
You can use the tray with the smallest openings for
dehydrating berries.
This dehydrator operates on the principle of forced
air convection, so the ingredients located on the
lower trays are exposed to hotter and drier air and
so they are dried faster. For the best results of
dehydration we recommend placing moister food
on the lower trays and interchange the lower and
upper trays periodically. Switch the unit off before
interchanging the trays.

– Let the unit and dried foodstuffs cool down.
– Pack the ready products into packages or jars, put
away for storage (see chapter «Storage of food»).
Notes:
Check food readiness every hour. If products are dried
unevenly, you can turn them or interchange the trays
(7) for more even dehydration.
Drying time for every type of product is set
experimentally and depends on the quality and size
of the used food products, temperature and relative
humidity of the room. For further information see
chapter «Temperature and duration of dehydration».
Attention! Maximal operation time is 48 hours.
Switch the unit off after 48 hours of operation and
let it cool down completely (at least 2 hours).
