TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

• Before dehydrating/drying your food, some steps of preparation are needed. Refer to the following chapter ‘Preparations’. Only use flawless food for dehydration.
• The correct dehydrating time depends on the type of food, the freshness and thickness of slices or pieces and the desired consistency (see: ‘Preparations’).
• Very larger pieces will be dehydrated better, when cut into slices or stripes. However, very small apricots, peaches, and pears may be dried in halves. In these cases, expect a considerably elongated dehydrating time. However, for fitting properly onto the food trays of the appliance and, for free circulation of air, leaving a suitable distance to the food tray or cover above, any pieces of food may not be thicker than 2 cm (4/5 inch).
• Flavours of strongly aromatic types of food (e.g. onions, garlic) could influence other delicate foodstuffs, when dried in the same dehydration cycle. Therefore, you should load your food sorted according to their various tastes and types and process them in separated dehydration cycles. Clean the appliance, before starting the following dehydration cycles to avoid any interference of flavours. To optimize the air flow within the dehydration chamber (built by the food trays), place your food on the food trays beginning with the upper food tray down to the lowest food tray. To allow an efficient air circulation, always use at least 5 food trays, even with some food trays left empty. When food trays are filled with thick pieces, you may alternate empty food trays and loaded food trays.
• Do not place any food directly on the top plate of the heating base! Additionally, ensure that no pieces of food hang down from the lowest food tray and block the air vents of the fan assembly.
• Spread your pieces of food on the food trays separated from each other with some free space left between the single pieces. to ensure good circulation of air. This way, your food will be dried evenly and you avoid that the pieces will stick together. Do not overload the trays.
• Always close the dehydration chamber with the cover. Otherwise, the functioning of the appliance as well as favour and quality of your food will be affected disadvantageously. Use the pause function via the Start/Stop button, if you wish to open the dehydration chamber. Immediately after closing the dehydration chamber, continue operation by pressing the Start/Stop button again (see: ‘Operation / Pause Function’). Avoid elongated interruptions. During operation, the temperature on the lowest food tray will be the highest. Thus, you should place food needing a higher temperature for dehydration on the lower food trays. For getting an even result on all food trays, you should change the sequence of food trays on the heating base several times during the dehydration process. For this, use the pause function.
• After the dehydration process, store dried food within sterilized and dry vessels in the refrigerator. If possible, you should use the PHILCO Vacuum Sealer for storing your food in evacuated bags and containers. Keep in mind, that the consistency of dried food may change during storage. You should consume dried food before long.
• Use vessels resistant to heat up to at least 100°C for storage. Sterilize the vessels using boiling water. To avoid getting germs in again, do not wipe dry the vessels, but leave them dry naturally.

PREPARATIONS

Clean all pieces of food carefully under running tap water. Remove all inedible parts (e.g. shells, stalks, seeds, and stones). Depending on the type of food, you should perform the following additional preparation processes. However, the hints given below are recommendations only. Possibly, you may prefer other methods. In all cases, you should dab dry the food to be dried, before loading the food tray.
IMPORTANT:
The maximum thickness of any pieces of food to be dehydrated may not exceed approx. 2 cm (4/5 inch).
DEHYDRATION OF FRUIT
Combine some water and juice of the fruit to be dried (mixture 1:8) and dip the pieces in this liquid for approx. 2 minutes. For types of fruit sensitive to discolouration by oxygen (e.g. apples), you may add some lemon juice to the liquid before dipping.

10 – 34
Pear| seeds removed, peeled and sliced, small ones may be cut to halves or quarters| limb and lithe| 8 – 72

DEHYDRATING VEGETABLES
Wash thoroughly and remove all inedible parts (e.g. stalks). Most vegetables should be blanched before dehydration (heated in water, steam or oil for approx. 3-5 minutes). Thereafter, drain thoroughly, dip in lemon juice for approx. 2 minutes and dab dry.

MEAT, POULTRY AND FISH

• Marinate meat in salty liquid to remove the moisture and keep your meat fresh. You should use 1/4 teaspoon of salt for 1/2 glass of liquid and other flavours and seasons to taste (e.g. tomato sauce, garlic, onion, and pepper). After marinating, cut the meat into stripes and dehydrate via the appliance for approx. 2 – 8 hours until the stripes are sufficiently dry.
• Poultry should be cooked, before starting the dehydration process. Steam or roast the pieces until they are well done. Set the dehydrating time to 2 – 8 hours.
• Fish should be steamed or roasted. For example, place fillets into the oven and bake for approx. 20 minutes. Set the dehydrating time to 2 – 8 hours.

OTHER TYPES OF FOOD

• Wash herbs, dab dry, and remove any already wilted parts. For drying, spread the whole leaves on the food trays. Store the dried herbs in whole. Just before usage, remove the stalks and grind or crumble the dry leaves. This is the best way to avoid the loss of flavour.
• When dehydrating vanilla pods, remove any inedible parts from the pods and dab dry. Thereafter, spread the vanilla pods on a food tray and start the appliance with an dehydrating time of 2 – 6 hours.
• Bread slices should be dried without the crust. Use a dehydrating time of 30 minutes to 2 hours. You will get a delicious snack, when seasoning the bread slices before dehydration.

BEFORE FIRST USE

The appliance is working, but the LCD display is dark.| The automatic shut-off of the LCD display is active.| For saving energy, the backlight of the LCD display gets dark after approx. 20 seconds without any input. This is normal. To illuminate the LCD display again for 20 seconds, press the SET button.
The appliance is working but the count-down of the

dehydrating time does not start.

| The pre-heating time for reaching the set temperature may increase significantly when increasing the set temperature.| The count-down starts as soon as the set temperature is reached within the dehydration chamber. The pre-heating time depends on the set temperature, the amount of food in the dehydration chamber, and the room temperature. Just wait.
The environment temperature is too low.| With a high setting of the dehydrating temperature and a very low room temperature, it is possible that the set temperature is not reached at all. Possibly, with a room temperature below 21°C, you need to control the dehydration process manually.
The LCD display is illuminated, but the food is not dried.| The temperature is set below the current room temperature.| Select a sufficiently higher dehydrating temperature (see: ‘Operation’).
The humidity of the environment is very high.| The dehydration process depends on the humidity of the air-intake also. With high humidity, you should expect an elongated dehydrating time. Increase the dehydrating time, select a room with low humidity for operation, or select a somewhat higher temperature.
The internal fuse of the appliance has been triggered or the heating element is broken.| Get in contact with an authorized service centre for examination and repair.
The food is not dried sufficiently within the expected period of time.| The pieces may be too large or too thick.| Cut your food to smaller pieces.
The food trays have been overloaded.| Separate the individual pieces of food. The air flow within the dehydration chamber may not be blocked. If required, take out some food and separate your food to smaller portions.
The food has been too wet, when starting operation.| Simply give the dehydration process some more time. Wipe off any liquid that dripped onto the heating base.

Dab dry very juicy food, before dehydration. Perhaps, leave very wet pieces of food dry at room temperature first.
