•  Prior to using this appliance, please read the user’s manual 

thoroughly, even in cases, when one has already familiarised 
themselves with previous use of similar types of appliances. Only use 
the appliance in the manner described in this user’s manual. Keep 
this user’s manual in a safe place where it can be easily retrieved for 
future reference. 

•  We recommend saving the original cardboard box, packaging 

material, purchase receipt and responsibility statement of the vendor 
or warranty card for at least the duration of the legal liability for 
unsatisfactory performance or quality. In the event of transportation, 
we recommend that you pack the appliance in the original box from 
the manufacturer.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT BETWEEN THE TRAYS

•  The food dehydrator offers two options for setting tray heights. To 

set the lower (default) height, place the trays on top of each other as 
shown in 

B1

. Turn the trays so that the tabs located at the bottom 

of the trays are placed adjacent to the grooves, located at the top of 
every tray.

•  To set a clearance, turn and seat the trays so that the tabs fit precisely 

in to the grooves as shown in 

B2

TURNING ON THE DEVICE

•  Connect the appliance to a power socket and then turn it on by turning 

button 

A3

 clockwise, and set the desired dehydration temperature.

TRAY ROTATION

•  This food dehydrator is ingeniously designed on the basis of hot 

air convection for the extraction of moisture from food. During the 
dehydration process, the trays should be rotated to ensure even 
dehydration of the contents. The trays nearest the bottom are exposed 
to the greatest amount of heat – here the dehydration process is 
faster.

•  Therefore, simply take them out and place them at a higher level, and 

move the higher trays closer to the bottom part of the dehydrator.

REMEMBER

1) 

You will achieve the best results when quality food is used. Always 
dehydrate fresh, good quality food; a bad piece may affect the 
quality of the entire contents of the dehydrator.

2)  It is important that the food is clean – thoroughly clean it, dispose of 

soft or spoiled pieces.

Make sure that you have clean hands; this relates to kitchen utensils 
and the individual dehydrator trays that you use for preparing food.

3)  Dehydration time varies and depends on the amount of food, 

thickness of the individual pieces, their size, ambient air humidity 
and the moisture contained directly in the food.

4)  Allow food to cool down before checking the degree of dehydration.
5)  If necessary, the trays may be filled up completely, and the 

individual pieces may almost be touching, but must not overlap.

6)  Approximately 6–10 % moisture content may remain in dehydrated 

foods without risking their spoilage. Many dehydrated foods will 
have a leathery consistency similar to that of licorice.

7)  Rotate the trays whenever you notice that dehydration is uneven or 

when the dehydrator is completely filled with food.

8)  To remove stones, kernels and stems from plums, grapes, cherries, 

dry them to 50 % and then remove the stems, kernels, etc. In this 
way, you will prevent losing juice from the food.

TABLE OF RECOMMENDED FOOD DEHYDRATION TIMES

•  The provided times are only approximates and depend on room 

temperature, air humidity, moisture of the food being dehydrated and 
on the thickness of the food slices. Natural juiciness of food varies. The 
fructose contained in certain types of fruit requires longer dehydration 
times.

time

Apples

Remove the peels, 
kernels and cut into slices 
or rings. Soak them for 
2 minutes before placing 
them in the dehydrator. 
Then dry them and place 
them on a drying tray.

They are 
soft

4–15 hours

Apricots

Dehydrate them cut in 
half or cut into quarters. 
Before dehydration, 
prepare them so as to 
retain their colour and not 
to damage the peel.

They are 
soft

8–36 hours

Mushrooms Select fresh, young 

mushrooms Remove 
any dirt using a brush or 
a damp cloth. Cut into 
pieces, trim or dry whole  
– depending on their size

Leathery 
to brittle – 
depending 
on their size 
and age

3–10 hours

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

•  Before cleaning the appliance, turn it off and disconnect it from the 

power grid.

•  To clean the individual trays of the food dehydrator, simply use a wiping 

cloth moistened in a weak detergent solution; in the case of greater 
soiling, you may wash the trays under lukewarm running water.

•  Do not use thinners or solvents or any abrasive cleaning agents to 

clean the appliance – they may damage the surface.

•  When not using the appliance, store it in a dry place out of 

children’s reach. You can use the cardboard box of the appliance for 
storing the appliance (after first disassembling it).

•  Before first use, it is necessary to thoroughly wash all the accessories 

of the appliance (the individual trays, lid) in hot water using kitchen 
detergent and then rinse with drinking water.

•  Before first use, we also recommend running the appliance empty 

for at least 4 hours. After turning the appliance off, allow it and all its 
accessories to cool down and air out to rid them of potential odours.
