Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the mesh trays from their packaging.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the trays with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Refer to the "Maintenance and Cleaning" section for detailed instructions.
- Placement: These mesh trays are designed to be placed directly on top of the existing stainless steel trays within your Magic Mill MFD-1010 dehydrator. Ensure they sit flat and securely on the stainless steel trays.
Operating Instructions
Using the mesh trays is straightforward and integrates seamlessly with your dehydrator's operation.
- Prepare Food: Prepare your food items as per your dehydrator recipe. For smaller items, ensure they are cut to an appropriate size for drying.
- Load Trays: Place the prepared food items directly onto the mesh trays. Distribute food evenly in a single layer to allow for proper air circulation.
- Insert into Dehydrator: Carefully slide the stainless steel trays with the loaded mesh trays into the Magic Mill MFD-1010 dehydrator.
- Dehydration Process: Operate your dehydrator according to its main instruction manual. The mesh trays do not require any special adjustments to the dehydrator's settings.
- Monitoring: Periodically check the food for dryness. The mesh design allows for efficient airflow, contributing to consistent drying.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper cleaning ensures hygiene and extends the life of your mesh trays.
- After Each Use: Remove any food residue from the trays.
- Hand Washing: Wash the mesh trays by hand using warm water and a mild dish soap. Use a soft brush or sponge to clean the mesh thoroughly.
- Rinsing: Rinse the trays completely under running water to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Allow the trays to air dry completely before storing them. Ensure no moisture remains to prevent mold or mildew.
- Important: These mesh trays are not dishwasher safe. High temperatures in dishwashers can warp or damage the plastic material.
Troubleshooting
Most issues related to the mesh trays are minor and easily resolved.
- Food Sticking: If food sticks to the mesh, ensure the food is properly prepared (e.g., not overly wet) and consider using parchment paper or non-stick sheets if necessary, though the mesh is designed to minimize sticking.
- Trays Not Sitting Flat: Ensure the mesh trays are correctly positioned on the stainless steel trays of your MFD-1010 dehydrator. Check for any obstructions.
- Difficulty Cleaning: For stubborn residue, soak the trays in warm, soapy water for a short period before scrubbing.
