IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Always follow basic safety precautions when using your dehydrator. Read all instructions.

General Safety

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles. Be cautious when handling the back of the dehydrator. This area will be hotter than the rest of the dehydrator.
• Do not immerse the cord, plug, or housing in water or other liquid. Closely supervise children near the dehydrator. Unplug when not in use, and before cleaning. Allow to cool completely before putting on or taking off parts.
• Do not use a dehydrator if it is damaged, not working, or if the cord or plug is damaged. Contact Customer Support (see page 12). Using third-party parts or accessories may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not place on a stove, near gas or electric burners, or in a heated oven. Be extremely cautious when moving the dehydrator or removing trays if they contain hot liquid.
• To disconnect, tum off the dehydrator, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
• Keep the dehydrator away from flammable materials (curtains, tablecloths, etc). Use on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface away from heat sources and liquids.
• Do not store anything on top of your dehydrator while in use.
• Do not clean housing with metal scouring pads. Metal fragments can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
• Do not use where aerosol (spray) products are being used.
• Do not run the dehydrator for more than 48 hours at a time. After 48 hours, unplug and allow to cool for 2 hours before using again. Avoid contact with moving parts.  Never place any object into the openings in the screen protecting the dehydrator fan.
• Only use the dehydrator as directed in this manual.
• Not for commercial use. Household use only.

Plug and Cord

• Do not let the cord (or any extension cord) hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• This dehydrator has an a3-prong grounding plug, and should only be used with 120V, 60Hz electrical systems in North America. Always plug into a grounded electrical outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.

• Do not use with an a220-240V outlet.

• Any extension cord must also be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

• This dehydrator uses a short power-supply cord to reduce the risk of entangling or tripping. Use extension cords with care.

• The marked electrical rating of an extension cord should be at least as high as the rating of the dehydrator (see page 3).

Dried foods are a great treat to snack on, because they keep almost all their nutritional value and flavor Dehydrating is the perfect way to preserve snacks, fruit, vegetables, bread, and even flowers

USING YOUR DEHYDRATOR

Operation

8. Use a kitchen towel, heat-resistant glove, or oven mitt to handle the trays.
   NOTE: The dehydrator will always remember your previous temperature and time settings.

Tray Liners
Your dehydrator comes with 2 tray liners: a fruit roll sheet and a mesh screen.

1. Place a tray liner on a dehydrator tray. Place food on the liner.
2. Once the food is dehydrated, remove the tray and lift the tray liner out of the tray.
3. Remove food. Bending the screen is helpful for removing sticky foods.

Fruit Roll Sheet

• Use for making fruit rolls and strips from fresh, frozen, or canned fruit. You can also use this liner for pouring pur~e onto a tray.
  NOTE: This liner can be placed on the bottom of the dehydrator to catch any dripping liquids, to make cleaning easier.

Mesh Screen

• Use for foods that shrink when dried. This liner will prevent them from falling through tray grates.

Sounds

• To tum sounds on/off, wait for the display to show”–:–” and press and hold+ for 5 seconds.

Overheat Protection

• Overheating is rare. If the dehydrator overheats, it will automatically shut down as a safety feature, and will no longer tum on. Contact Customer Support (see page 12).

Tips

• Fruit and vegetables dried in your food dehydrator will look different from those sold in stores. This is because homemade dried foods do not use preservatives, artificial coloring, or artificial additives.
• Check out the Recipe Book for many more tips on dehydrating foods.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

NOTE: Do not clean any part of the dehydrator with abrasive chemicals, as this will damage the surface.

1. Unplug the dehydrator and allow it to cool before cleaning.

2. Soak trays in hot, soapy water for easy removal of food residue.

3. Use a soft brush to clean the trays and tray liners.
   NOTE: The trays are dishwasher safe. Do not wash the mesh screen or fruit roll sheet in a dishwasher.
