5. Operating Instructions

The drip tray operates passively by collecting any moisture, oils, or food particles that may fall from the dehydrator trays above. It does not require any active operation. Simply ensure it is in place before starting the dehydration process.

• Place food items on the dehydrator trays as usual.
• The drip tray will collect any liquids or crumbs that fall during dehydration.
• After the dehydration cycle is complete and the dehydrator has cooled, remove the drip tray for cleaning.
