time by pressing the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds.

Dehydrating Food

While most food types can be dehydrated at a temperature of approximately 131 °F, when dehydrating meats,

poultry and fish (making Jerky, Biltong etc.) the temperature needs to be raised to guard against pathogens such

as Salmonella and E. Coli.

WARNING –It is recommended that meat and poultry is dehydrated at a temperature of at least 154

degrees Fahrenheit, or alternatively the meat should be preheated to at least 154 degrees Fahrenheit to

guard against pathogens.

Fish should be steamed or baked to at least 200 degrees Fahrenheit until flaky before dehydrating at a

temperature of least 154 degrees Fahrenheit.

Choosing Food to Dehydrate

For best results only use highest quality foods.

Produce in peak season has more flavor and more nutrients.

Meats, fish and poultry should be lean and fresh.

Do not use food with bruises and blemishes. Bad produce can spoil the entire batch.

Remove as much fat as possible from meats prior to dehydrating. You can use a paper towel under

meat when dehydrating to absorb fat.

Tips for Pre-Treatment of Foods

With most types of cooking, preparation is important for the best results. Foods that are prepared correctly

prior to dehydration will taste better and have a better appearance. .

Cut, shred or dice the food uniformly. Slices should be between 6mm and 20mm thick. Meats

should not be thicker than 5mm.

To avoid browning of fruits soak cut fruit in lemon or pineapple juice for 2-3 minutes, then place in the

dehydrator. Alternatively soak in an ascorbic acid solution (made as per manufacturers instruction)

for 2-3 minutes, then place in the dehydrator.

Waxy fruits, (such as peaches, grapes, blueberries, etc.) should be dipped in boiling water to remove

the wax. This allows moisture to escape easily during dehydration.

Blanching can also be used to pre-treat foods for dehydration.

Dehydrating Tips

Do not overlap foods. Make sure foods are flat when placing on dehydrating trays. Overlapped

foods can greatly increase drying time.

Make sure foods are completely dry before removing. If you are not sure, cut a sample down the

middle to check for internal dryness.

Make sure to label containers when you store your dehydrated food.

Proper storage helps maintain quality food. Package the food when cool. Foods can be kept longer

if stored in a cool, dark and dry place. The ideal storage temperature is 60°F or lower.

Place dehydrated foods in plastic freezer bags before storing in metal or glass containers. Remove

as much air as possible before sealing.

Vacuum sealing is the best way to keep dehydrated foods.

Food will shrink approximately ¼ to ½ their original size and weight during dehydration. Make sure

not to cut pieces of food to be dehydrated too small.

Time required to completely dehydrate the food will depend on size of food, humidity and water

content.

Making Fruit Roll-Ups

1. Preheat dehydrator to 135 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Select ripe or slightly over-ripe fruits. Wash and remove blemishes, pits and skin.

3. Puree in a blender. Add yogurt, sweeteners or spices as desired. The puree should be thick in

consistency.

4. Cover the dehydrator trays with plastic wrap.

5. Pour puree onto the covered trays. The edges will dry quicker than the center so if possible make the

puree thinner at the center of the tray.

6. Carefully place the Trays in the Dehydrator.

7. The average dry time for fruit roll-ups is 4 to 6 hours.

8. Once the fruit roll-ups are shiny and non-sticky to the touch, remove them from the dehydrator and allow

them to cool.

9. Peel the fruit roll-up from the plastic wrap and roll into cylinders.

Proofing Bread

1. Remove trays and place a shallow bowl of water on the floor of the dehydrator

2. Place one of the removed trays directly above the bowl of water

3. Preheat your dehydrator to 115 degrees Fahrenheit.

4. Place dough on tray and cover with cloth to prevent drying out.

5. Allow dough to rise (this should take between 30minutes to 1 hour depending on recipe)

6. Remove Dough and proceed with recipe

Cleaning, Care & Maintenance

Disconnect from power by removing the plug, allow to cool before wiping exterior surfaces and

removing any loose debris.

Trays can be removed for cleaning and are dishwasher safe.
