How to use

Prepare food by washing, slicing or trimming to uniform thickness to ensure even drying. Arrange slices in a single layer on the dehydrator trays without overlapping. Set the appliance on a stable, heat-resistant surface and connect to a suitable 220–240 V outlet. Select the appropriate drying time and temperature according to the food type and desired dryness level, and monitor periodically. After drying, allow items to cool before storing in airtight containers. Follow the manufacturer’s safety and cleaning instructions before first use and between cycles.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, slice products evenly (2–5 mm for fruits, thinner for herbs) and avoid overloading trays. Rotate trays or check progress periodically to compensate for any temperature variation. Ensure proper ventilation around the unit during operation and store dried foods in moisture-free, airtight containers once cooled.
