Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials from the dehydrator. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if needed.

3. Placement: Place the dehydrator on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit, at least 6 inches (15 cm) of space on all sides. Do not place it near heat sources or flammable materials.
4. Assembly: Stack the clean, dry dehydrating trays onto the main base unit. Ensure they are properly aligned. Place the lid on the top tray.
5. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

Preparing Food for Dehydration:

• Wash and thoroughly clean all food items.
• Slice food into uniform thickness for even drying. Generally, 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) to 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) is ideal.
• Arrange food in a single layer on the dehydrating trays, ensuring there is space between pieces for proper air circulation. Do not overlap food.
