Dehydration Process:

1. Prepare Food: Wash, peel, and slice food evenly. Thinner slices will dry faster. For best results, pre-treat some foods (e.g., fruits with lemon juice to prevent browning).
2. Load Trays: Arrange food in a single layer on the stainless steel trays, ensuring there is space between pieces for optimal air circulation. Do not overload the trays.
3. Set Time and Temperature: Close the dehydrator door. Press the ON/OFF button. Use the Time and Temperature buttons along with the adjustment arrows to set your desired drying parameters. Refer to the table below for general guidelines.
4. Start Dehydration: The dehydrator will begin operating once settings are confirmed. The 360° hot air circulation system ensures uniform drying across all trays.
5. Monitor Progress: Periodically check the food for desired dryness. Drying times can vary based on food type, thickness, moisture content, and ambient humidity.
6. Completion: Once drying is complete, turn off the dehydrator and unplug it. Allow the food to cool completely before storing.
