6 GB

DANGER! Risk of electric

shock

~Only plug the mains plug into the wall

socket after the device has been com-

pletely assembled.

~Only connect the mains plug to a prop-

erly installed and easily accessible wall

socket whose voltage corresponds to

the specifications on the rating plate.

The wall socket must continue to be eas-

ily accessible after the device is

plugged in.

~Ensure that the power cable cannot be

damaged by sharp edges or hot points.

Do not wrap the power cable around

the device.

~Even after it has been switched off, the

device has not been completely discon-

nected from the mains. In order to fully

disconnect it, pull out the mains plug.

~When using the device, ensure that the

power cable cannot be trapped or

crushed.

~When removing the mains plug from the

wall socket, always pull the plug and

never the cable.

~Disconnect the mains plug from the wall

socket …

… if there is a fault,

… when you are not using the device,

… before you clean the device and

… during thunderstorms.

~To avoid any hazard, do not make mod-

ifications to the device.

~Do not use the device if there is visible

damage to the device or the power ca-

ble.

DANGER! Risk of fire

~The device must not be operated close

to flammable liquids or materials, or in

a potentially explosive environment.

Keep at a distance of at least 30 cm

from walls.

~In order to prevent overheating of the

device and to ensure optimal drying:

- Do not cover the device.

- Ensure that the ventilation slots on the

underside of the base unit are kept

free.

- Place the device on a level and

smooth surface. Tablecloths, fabrics

and similar might obstruct free ventila-

tion.

- Do not cover the mesh screens of the

food dehydrator trays (e.g. with pa-

per, aluminium foil, or similar) com-

pletely.

DANGER! Risk of injury

through burning

~The fan (especially the metal parts), the

lid, the food dehydrator trays and the

food to be dehydrated may become hot

during operation. During operation,

only touch the handles and control ele-

ments of the device.

~After the device is switched off, let the

device and the dehydrated food cool

before you remove the dehydrated food

and the device is cleaned.

~Only transport the device when it has

cooled down, and when doing so only

use the handles intended for this pur-

pose.

WARNING! Risk of material

damage

~Only use the original accessory.

~Do not use any astringent or abrasive

cleaning agents.

The device is fitted with non-slip plastic

feet. As furniture is coated with a wide ar-

ray of varnishes and synthetics, and is

also treated with different care products,

it cannot be fully ruled out that some of

these materials contain components that

could attack and soften the non-slip plas-

tic feet. If necessary, place a non-slip mat

under the device.

5. How to use

FIRE HAZARD!

~Place the device on a dry, level, non-slip

and heat-resistant surface.

~The device must not be operated close

to flammable liquids or materials, or in

a potentially explosive environment.

Keep at a distance of at least 30 cm

from walls.

~In order to prevent an overheating of

the device, do not cover the device and

do not cover the ventilation slots|6on

the underside of the device.

NOTE: when in operation for the first time,

some odour may be generated by the de-

vice. This is not a product defect. Therefore,

prior to the initial food dehydration process,

you should clean the device, operate it in an

empty state according to the following in-

structions, and then clean it again. Here, en-

sure adequate ventilation.

• Remove all packing material.

• Check to ensure that all parts are pres-

ent and undamaged.

•Clean the device prior to its first

use! (see “Cleaning” on page 13)

1. Place the base unit|8on a dry, level,

non-slip surface.

2. Put the food dehydrator trays|3and the

top food dehydrator tray|2on the de-

vice.

3. Mount the lid|1.

4. Insert the mains plug|4into a wall sock-

et corresponding to the specifications of

the rating plate. On the display|13 00

flashes and Hr is shown.

5. Using the buttons —|15 and +|16 set

the drying time to 1 hour (01 Hr).

6. Briefly press the button |14 once.

On the display 55 flashes and °C is

shown.

7. Using the buttons —|15 and +|16 set

the drying temperature to 70 °C.

once

start the device.

9. Once the time set has elapsed, the de-

vice switches off. The fan|9stops. For a

brief time, an audio signal will sound

and the display|13 will show 00 contin-

uously.

NOTE: you can cancel the initial heating up

process after just 30 minutes by keeping

the

button |

pressed until t

he fan|9stops

and the display|13 permanently shows 00.

10.Pull out the mains plug|4.

11.Allow the device to cool down.

12.Clean the device again (see “Cleaning”

on page 13).

6. Food dehydration

6.1 General information on

the food dehydration

process

Food dehydration is a preservation process.

It is based on the extraction of water from

food. A low water content deprives bacteria

and mildew of their fundamental living con-

ditions. The dehydration process occurs at

relatively low temperatures (40 - 70 °C).

There is no need to add chemical additives,

salt or sugar. Thus, the food remains untreat-

ed. The major part of the vitamins remains

intact. The drying process causes a concen-

tration of minerals, fibres and nutrients.

8 GB

Therefore, many items of food that have

been dehydrated have an intensive aroma.

Due to the extracted water, dehydrated food

is especially light in weight and can be

stored and transported without cooling or

special packaging.

The dehydrated food can be eaten in dried

form (e.g. as dried fruit), or it may be further

processed after having been soaked (e.g.

mushrooms) or added when cooking (e.g.

herbs).

6.2 Basic functioning of the

food dehydrator

Your food dehydrator draws fresh air through

the ventilation slots|6on the underside and

heats it up. The warm, dry air flows through

the food dehydrator trays|2/3from the bot-

tom to the top. Therefore it is important ...

… not to overload the food dehydrator

trays,

… not to cover the mesh screens of the

food dehydrator trays and

… to ensure free ventilation all around.

The warm, dry air flow provides gentle dry-

ing, which varies in time depending on the

water content of the food and the thickness

of the pieces. As an orientation, you can

find temperatures and reference values re-

garding the drying times in chapter "Food

tables" on page 9.

6.3 Selection and prepara-

tion of the food

In order to achieve good quality and dura-

bility, a careful selection and preparation of

the food is decisive. Therefore, you will find

some tips in the following.

• The food should be fresh. Ripe fruit and

vegetables have more flavour. However,

the food should not be overripe.

• If possible, use food of perfect quality.

Select, for instance, fruit without blem-

ishes or bruises and without spoiled

spots. Where required, cut spoiled parts

generously out.

• Clean the food thoroughly and observe

the rules of kitchen hygiene carefully.

Work, for instance, with clean hands

and kitchen utensils.

• When cutting, take into account that the

food will shrink during dehydration.

Therefore, do not cut the pieces too

small.

• Cut the food into pieces of uniform size

and shape to ensure that all pieces dry

evenly.

• Dehydrate the food immediately after

preparation.

Fruit

• The removal of the pips from stone fruit

(e.g. cherries, plums, apricots) is easier

when these are first dried as a whole for

approx. two thirds of the drying time

and only then the stones are removed.

• With fruit turning brown easily (e.g. ap-

ples) the cut surfaces can be dipped slight-

ly in lemon juice before dehydrating.

• With the cut surface upwards, place the

unpeeled fruit onto the food dehydrator

trays|2/3.

Vegetables

• Rub the mushrooms with a damp cloth.

• Wash vegetables thoroughly.

• Prior to the dehydration, vegetables

should be blanched briefly.

Herbs

• Dehydrate herbs in whole with their

stems.

• Rinse herbs and shake them dry thor-

oughly.

• Herbs should be dehydrated at low tem-

peratures and not for an extended peri-

od of time. Otherwise they lose their

flavour.
