How to use

Prepare food by washing, slicing uniformly and, if required, pre-treating (for example, blanching or dipping in an antioxidant solution). Arrange items in a single layer on the trays without overlapping to ensure consistent airflow and drying. Set the temperature according to the food type and thickness, then start the dehydrator. Check progress periodically and rotate trays if uneven drying appears. Remove dried items when they reach the desired texture and cool completely before storing in airtight containers.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use consistent slice thickness and avoid overcrowding trays. Start with lower temperatures for delicate items like herbs and increase heat for denser fruits or vegetables. Allow products to cool before sealing to prevent moisture buildup in storage. Regularly clean trays and the interior surfaces to maintain hygiene and performance.
