- temperature control: 40-70°C
- acceptable continuous use: 40 hours

INTENDED USE
Drying is an effective way to preserve food. Warm air at a constant and
adjustable temperature circulates freely inside the appliance between the top
and bottom covers, the screens and the power base. Therefore, the products in
the appliance sections are dried evenly and with minimal loss of health-
promoting vitamins. Drying efficiency in the SG300 dryer is increased by
rotary screens. This way you will enjoy fruits, vegetables and mushrooms that
are prepared without unhealthy substances all year round.
You can use the SG300 dryer to dry most food products including:
- mushrooms,
- fruits,
- meat (beef, poultry),
- pasta,
- vegetables – e.g. to prepare healthy instant meals (without preservatives),
- plants (flowers, leaves),
- herbs, spices,
- candied fruits for later processing into instant juice.
USE
After unpacking the appliance, make sure that it has not been damaged during transport. In case of any doubts, do not use the appliance until the service station has been contacted. Connect the power cord to the mains with specifications matching those on the rating plate. Wash the screens (2) and lid (1) before the first use.
OPERATION
- Make sure that the appliance is disconnected from the mains, and the power switch (4) is set to the “OFF” position,

- Put the screens (2) with the products onto the base (3).
- The products should be washed and then wiped before drying.
CAUTION. Do not place wet products on the screens.
- Cut the food into pieces to fit feely between the stacked screens.
- When the appliance is powered on, the screens rotate and warm air circulates inside the dryer between the lid, screens and the base. Therefore, products should be placed on the screens so as not to obstruct the rotation and allow the air to flow freely.
CAUTION. It is recommended to put all 5 screens on the base while drying, regardless of how many of them are empty.
- Place the lid (1) on the uppermost screen (2).
- Plug the appliance into the mains, then use the knob (4) to switch it on (the screens start to rotate) and set the temperature.
- Recommended temperatures for some products:
- herbs: 40°C
- bread: 40-50°C
- vegetables: 50-55°C
