OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME:
Carefully unpack and remove the packaging of the food dehydrator. Before using your dehydrator for the first time it is highly recommended to perform the “burn-in” process on your machine. This will allow for any oils left behind during the manufacturing process to burn off and not affect your first batch of food. To do this, ensure your dehydrator is in a wellventilated area, then increase the temperature to the maximum level.
Run your machine at this level for up to 2 hours. Once you no longer smell oil or a burning odour, allow the dehydrator to fully cool and thoroughly wash all the walls and hooks with warm soapy water, rinse and dry.

1. Operate the food dehydrator on a clean, dry and level surface.

2. Set the ‘Power Button’ to the ‘OFF’ Position

3. Position the dehydrator at least 12” (30.5 cm) away from the wall, other appliances, or furniture to allow adequate air circulation.

4. Open the dehydrator doors and observe the hooks positioned on the roof of each zone. These hooks can be used to attach the product directly. Alternatively, you can also use wire or food safe rope to attach your product to the hooks.
   • Aim to keep your product at a similar thickness to ensure even drying
   • Position your product on the hooks in each zone.
   • Consider the distance between each piece/cut, leaving an even spacing and allowing room for proper air circulation.
   • Double check all the hooks are loaded correctly.

5. Close the door of the unit, and use the latches on the side of the machine to hold it in position.

6. Wire into a circuit of 200-240V/50-60Hz, Single Phase/25A amp capacity. This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect from electric shock and is equipped with a 3 conductor cord, containing live, neutral and ground wires (Figure A). The unit can be fitted with an appropriate plug and wall receptacle or it can be hard-wired in, according to the electrical requirements above.
   IMPORTANT: ONLY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL TECHNICIAN IS PERMITTED TO PERFORM WIRING INSTALLATION.

7. Select the chamber that you wish to use by pressing the relevant button. This will cause the ‘Temp’ and ‘Timer’ buttons to illuminate.

8. To adjust the temperature for this chamber, press the ‘Temp’ button and then use the increase or decrease button to set the desired temperature. Wait until the temperature display stops flashing (or press the ‘Temp’ button again) to confirm the temperature*.

9. To adjust the timer, select the chamber button, select the ‘Timer’ button and then use the increase or decrease button to set the desired dehydration time. Wait until the timer display stops flashing (or press the ‘Timer’ button again) to confirm the time.

10. Repeat these steps for any other chambers required.

11. Change the temperature scale from °F to °C and vice versa by pressing the relevant chamber button and then using the °C/°F button.

12. To turn each chamber off, press the ‘chamber’ button and then press the ‘Off’ button. All chambers are off when the control panel buttons are illuminated blue and screen display turns off).

13. All chambers are off when the control panel buttons are illuminated blue and screen display turns off.

14. Formation of water droplets during the dehydration process is possible, depending on how much moisture is within the product being dehydrated. This can be minimised by blotting the product with a clean cloth or paper towel. Use CAUTION as the dehydrator becomes hot.

15. Please note: there is a 3 minute cool down session after the machine has been switched off in which your machine will run the fans. They will turn off automatically after this time period.

*To set the unit to use the ambient air mode, which runs fans only with no heat, set the temperature to 00.

FOOD SAFETY

THERE ARE BASIC RULES TO FOLLOW WHEN HANDLING FOOD:
COOK, SEPARATE, CLEAN, CHILL.
COOK
It is crucial to cook food at a safe internal temperature to destroy bacteria that is present in the food. Safety of food items like hamburgers and other foods with ground meat content are considered higher risk because of the mixing of the bacteria on the surface of the meat throughout the mixture. Ground meat should be cooked at least at 160°F to 165°F (71°C) to (74°C) to destroy bacteria. Similarly, solid pieces of meat, like steaks and chops, in the absence of bacteria such as E. coli, can be served rare. Beef can be cooked at the internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) and poultry at 180°F (82°C). Solid cuts of pork can be cooked at 160°F (71°C); eggs should be thoroughly cooked. It is recommended to buy specially pasteurised eggs or use prepared meringue powder if you are making a meringue or similar recipes which contain raw eggs.
SEPARATE
Always separate the cooked food from the uncooked. Mixing of these food items may occur when food items like eggs and meat are mixed together, contaminating the product and further resulting in food poisoning. Follow the given steps while cooking different food items:

• Always double-wrap raw meat.
• Place raw meat on the lowest shelf in the refrigerator to avoid dripping of juices.
• Use raw meats within 1-2 days of purchase.
• Defrost frozen meat in a refrigerator, not on a kitchen counter.

In case of grilling or cooking raw meats:

• Make sure to place the cooked meat on a clean platter.
• Do not use the same platter to carry the food out to the grill.
• Wash the utensils used in grilling after the food is turned for the last time on the grill.
• Clean the spatulas and spoons used for stir-frying or turning meat while cooking.

CLEAN

• Always wash your hands with clean water while handling the raw meats or raw eggs with soap and water or by using a premoistened antibacterial towelette to avoid cross-contamination.
• Make sure all cooking utensils, plates, dishes and accessories are cleaned after each use. Ensure all equipment used on raw product is cleaned before being used on cooked product.
• Thoroughly clean the hooks and the dehydrator chamber after each use.

CHILL
Bacteria will multiply between the temperature range of 40°F and 140°F (4°C and 60°C). Thus, the freezer’s ideal temperature should be 0°F (-17°C). To avoid multiplication of bacteria:

• Serve food while it is hot.
• Never let food items sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours or 1 hour if the ambient temperature is 90°F (32°C) or above.
• Cover foods after they are cooled.
• Defrost frozen meat in a refrigerator, not on a kitchen counter.
• Place hot, cooked food in shallow containers immediately and refrigerate them to cool them rapidly.

ALWAYS CONSULT WITH LOCAL FOOD AUTHORITIES FOR UP-TO-DATE FOOD SAFETY INFORMATION.

CHOOSING FOODS

USE THE BEST QUALITY FOODS
Fruit and vegetables when in peak season have more nutrients and more flavour. Meats, fish, and poultry should be lean and fresh.
DO NOT USE FOOD WITH BRUISES OR BLEMISHES
Bad fruits and vegetables may spoil the entire batch.
ALWAYS USE LEAN MEATS
Remove as much fat as possible before dehydrating.

PRE-TREATMENT OF FOODS

As with most types of cooking, proper preparation is essential for successful results. Adhering to a few guidelines will greatly increase the quality of your dried foods and decrease the amount of time necessary to dry them.
Pre-treated foods often taste better and have better appearance than non- treated foods. There are several methods to pre-treat food to prevent oxidation. (Oxidation will darken apples, pears, peaches and bananas while drying.)

• Remove any pits, skin, or cores
• Shred, slice, or dice the food uniformly. Slices should be between 1/4”(0.6cm) and 3/4”(1.9cm) thick. Meats should be cut no more than 3/16”(0.5cm) thick.
• Steam or roast meat to 160°F (71°C) and poultry to 165°F (74°C) as measured with a food thermometer before dehydrating.
• The temperature of the dehydrator must be maintained at 130°F-140°F (55°C-60°C) throughout the drying process.
• Drying fish into jerky requires a lot of attention. It must be cleaned and de-boned properly and rinsed thoroughly to ensure that all the blood is washed away. Steam or bake the fish at 200°F (93°C) until flaky before dehydrating.
• To help prevent browning, if desired, soak cut fruit in either lemon or pineapple juice for a few minutes before placing out on the dehydrating racks or you can also use an ascorbic mix which can be purchased in most health food stores or pharmacies. It may come in either powder or tablet form. Dissolve approximately 2-3 tablespoons into 1 quart (1litre) of water. Soak the fruit slices into the solution for 2-3 minutes, then place on the dehydrating racks.
• Fruits with a wax coating (figs, peaches, grapes, blueberries, prunes, etc) should be dipped in boiling water to remove the wax. This allows the moisture to escape easily when dehydrating.
• Blanching can pre-treat food for dehydrating. Blanching does not destroy beneficial enzymes and helps retain nutrients.

There are two ways to blanch food:

1. Water blanching: Use a large pan and fill it half way with water. Bring water to a boil. Place food directly into boiling water and cover. Remove after three minutes. Arrange food on the dehydrating racks.
2. Steam blanching: Using a steamer pot bring 2-3” (5-7cm) of water to a boil. Place the food in the steamer basket and steam for 3-5 minutes. Remove the steamed food and arrange on the dehydrator racks.

FRUIT ROLL-UPS

1. Select ripe or slightly over-ripe fruits. Wash and remove blemishes, pits and skin.
2. Purée in blender. Add yoghurt, sweeteners, or spices as desired. The purée should be thick in consistency.
3. Cover the dehydrator racks with plastic wrap.
4. Pour 1½ – 2 cups of the purée onto the covered racks. Carefully place the racks in the dehydrator.
5. The average drying time for the fruit roll-ups is 4-6 hours.
6. Once the fruit roll-ups are shiny and non-sticky to the touch, remove them from the dehydrator and allow them to cool.
7. Peel the fruit roll-up from the plastic wrap and roll into cylinders.

DRYING FLOWERS & CRAFTS

• The flowers should be dry to start with and best if picked after the dew has dried and before night fall.
• Dry the flowers as soon as possible after picking.
• Dry the flowers in a dry, warm, dark, clean and well-ventilated area, which makes a dehydrator an ideal setting. Flowers will retain the best colour and condition when dried quickly.
• Use a low temperature to retain the natural oils.
• Strip off the leaves or, if you prefer to keep the foliage, discard any brown or damaged leaves.
• Place on the dehydrator tray in a single layer, avoiding overlapping.
• Drying times will vary considerably depending on the size of the flower and the amount of foliage.
• Dry at 100°F (38°C)

IMPORTANT! IT IS IMPORTANT TO MONITOR THE DEHYDRATOR WHILE IN USE. NEVER LEAVE THE DEHYDRATOR UNATTENDED. READ AND FULLY UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS PRIOR TO USING THIS UNIT. USE IN A WELLVENTILATED AREA. DO NOT BLOCK THE AIR VENTS AT THE REAR OR ON THE DOOR OF THE DEHYDRATOR.

MAKING JERKY

• Meat should be as lean as possible. Using lean meat will help the meat dry faster and aid in cleanup by decreasing fat drippings. Beef is the most common meat used in jerky production. However other meat such as turkey, venison, buffalo and elk can make for excellent jerky. Ground meat should be 80% – 90% lean.

• Jerky seasonings are available for all tastes, or make your own. Wherever making jerky, you should cure the mixture prior to dehydrating. Using either salt or an acidic marinade, such as vinegar, let the meat cure. Recommended curing time is 24 hours for stripped meat and 12 hours for ground meat. The curing process helps to reduce water activity in the meat and helps to prevent bacteria from multiplying.

• Keep raw meats and their juices away from other foods. Marinate meats in the refrigerator. Do not leave meats un-refrigerated. Prevent cross-contamination by storing dried jerky away from raw meat. Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after working with meat products. Use clean equipment and utensils.

• Keep meat and poultry refrigerated at 40°F (5°C) or slightly below; use or freeze ground beef and poultry within 2 days; whole red meats, within 3 to 5 days. Defrost frozen meat in a refrigerator, not on a kitchen counter.

• Special considerations must be made when using venison or other wild game, as it can become heavily contaminated during field dressing. Venison is often held at temperatures that could potentially allow bacteria to grow, such as when it is being transported. Refer to your governmental and local authorities for further questions or information on meat and food safety.

• The minimum recommended temperature for drying meats is 145°F (63°C). Temperatures below 145°F (63°C) are not recommended.
  IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended to heat the meat to 160°F (71°C) before the dehydrating process. This step assures that any bacteria present will be destroyed by wet heat. After heating to 160°F (71°C), maintaining a constant dehydrator temperature of 130°F-140°F (55°C-60°C) during the drying process is important because:
  1. The process must be fast enough to dry food before it spoils; and
  2. It must remove enough water so that microorganisms are unable to grow.

• If you are using a marinade, shake of excess liquid before placing meat in evenly spaced single layers approximately 1/4” (0.6cm) apart on the dehydrator racks.

• Dry meat at 145°F-150°F (63°C-66°C) for 4-7 hours. You may need to blot fat droplets from the surface of the meat occasionally using a paper towel. Drying times vary based on many circumstances including but not limited to: the relative humidity of the room, the temperature of the meat at the beginning of the drying process, the amount of meat in the dehydrator, leanness of meat etc. Always allow jerky to cool before taste testing.

INSTRUCTIONS

• In a small glass bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the meat/poultry. Mix thoroughly.
• Place a layer of meat/poultry into a glass baking dish. Spoon sauce mixture over each layer.
• Repeat until the meat/poultry is 3-4 layers deep in the pan.
• Cover tightly and marinade for 6-12 hours in the refrigerator or overnight. Stir occasionally to keep the meat/poultry coated in marinade. The longer the meat/poultry stays in the marinade, the more flavour will be absorbed.
• Remove the meat/poultry from the marinade, removing excess marinade.
• Lay the meat/poultry evenly onto the dehydrator racks, leaving 1/4” (0.6cm) space between each strip of meat/poultry.
• Dry meat poultry at 145°F-150°F (63°C) for 4-7 hours or until thoroughly dry.

NOTE: When using a dehydrator, check the temperature of the dehydrator with a dial thermometer before drying jerky. The minimum recommended temperature for drying meats is 145°F (63°C). Temperatures below 145°F (63°C) are not recommended.
IMPORTANT!
It is highly recommended to heat the meat to 160°F (71°C) before the dehydrating process. This step assures that any bacteria present will be destroyed by wet heat. After heating to 160°F (71°C), maintain a constant dehydrator temperature of 130°F-140°F (55-60°C) during the drying process. You may need to blot fat and water droplets from the surface of the meat occasionally using a paper towel. Drying times may vary based on many circumstances including but not limited to: the relative humidity of the room, the temperature of the meat at the beginning of the drying process, the amount of meat in the dehydrator, leanness of the meat, etc. Always allow the jerky to cool before taste-testing.

STORING JERKY

Wrap jerky/snack sticks in aluminum foil and store in a thick plastic food storage bag, or place jerky/snack in a jar with a tight lid. Avoid storage in a plastic container or bags without first wrapping in aluminum foil or wax paper. Jerky/snack sticks should be stored in a dark, dry place between 50°F-60°F (10°C-16°C). You can store properly dried jerky/snack sticks at room temperature for 1-2 months. To extend the shelf life up to 6 months, store jerky /snack sticks in the freezer. Be sure to label and date all packages.

TIPS

• Do not overlap foods. Lay foods flat on the dehydrating racks.
• Check dryness after 6 hours, then check every 2 hours until crisp, pliable or leathery depending on your desired outcome.
• Check foods to make sure they are completely dry before removing. Open or cut down the middle of a few samples to check internal dryness. If the food is still moist, dehydrate longer.
• Label each container with the food name, date of drying and the original weight. Keep a journal to help improve drying techniques.
• Proper storage is essential to maintain quality food. Package the food when cool. Foods can be kept longer if stored in a cool, dark, dry place. The ideal storage temperature is 60°F (16°C) or lower.
• Place dried foods in plastic freezer bags before storing in metal or glass containers. Remove as much air as possible before sealing.
• Vacuum-sealing is ideal for keeping dried foods.
• Remember, foods will shrink approximately 1/4 to 1/2 their original size and weight during the dehydration process, so pieces should not be cut too small. One pound (500g) of raw meat will yield approximately 1/3 lb (0.2kg) to 1/2 lb (0.25kg) of jerky.
• Use the drying guide on the control panel as a reference for proper temperature settings. If the heat is set too high, food may harden and dry on the outside, yet be moist on the inside. If the temperature is too low, the drying time will increase.

REHYDRATING DRIED FOODS

While it is not necessary to reconstitute your dried foods, you can do so with ease. Vegetables can be used as a side dish or in recipes very effectively after being reconstituted in the following way:

• Dehydrated food can be rehydrated by soaking in cold water for 3-5 minutes. Use 1 cup of water for 1 cup of dehydrated food. Once re-hydrated, the food can be cooked normally. Soaking foods in warm water will speed of the process. However it may result in loss of flavour.
• Dehydrated fruits and vegetables can be soaked in cold water for 2-6 hours in the refrigerator. WARNING! Soaking at room temperature allows harmful bacteria to grow.
• Do not add seasoning. Adding salt or sugar during rehydration may change the flavour of the food.
• To make stewed fruits or vegetables, add 2 cups of water and simmer until tender.
• Consume dehydrated foods as soon as possible once the storage container is opened, keep any unused portions in the refrigerator to avoid contamination.
