OPERATION
Prepare the products for drying. They should be of good quality, cleaned, without signs of deterioration or mould. Cut them into smaller pieces so that their fragments are not thicker than 5 mm. Wipe the trays with a damp cloth; make sure they are clean. Spread the products to be dried on the trays so that they do not occupy more than ¾ of the surface area, leaving space between the elements and ensuring free airflow.

NOTE: after turning off the appliance, the fan will run for some time to cool its components down. Do not disconnect the appliance from the power source until the fan is turned off. -
Press the setting mode button to change the drying temperature. The display will show the expected temperature. The display will start flashing. It is possible to change the expected temperature with the + and – buttons while the display flashes.
-
Press the setting mode button to set the timer. The display will show the time after which the appliance will turn off (hours:minutes). The display will start flashing. While the display flashes, use the + and – buttons to change the setting of the timer.

Recommendations: -
Since the temperature on the lowest trays is the highest, and those above them have a lower temperature, it is recommended to change the position of the trays during drying.
-
If the drying process takes a few days, check the condition of the dried products, and if any spoilage or mould is observed – remove these products.
