How to use

Prepare food by washing, slicing or seasoning according to the recipe or preservation method. Arrange pieces in a single layer on the removable trays, leaving small gaps for airflow. Set the dehydrator to the recommended temperature for the specific food type and expected dryness level, then start the appliance and monitor progress periodically. Rotate or reposition trays if needed to achieve consistent results. When drying is complete, allow the items to cool before storing them in airtight containers.

Usage recommendations

Use lower temperatures for thin or delicate items like herbs and thin fruit slices, and higher temperatures for thicker items such as jerky. Uniform slicing and avoiding overlapping pieces improve drying consistency. Clean trays and exterior after each use to prevent residue buildup. Store dried products in cool, dry, airtight containers to maintain shelf life.
