3 ■ For indoor use only. ■ Do not place near hot gas or electric burner . ■ T o disconnect, turn the control to “off” before removing the plug from the outlet. ■ T o reduce the hazards of potential shock, the dehydrator has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), which will fit only one way in a polarized outlet.
4 BEFORE FIRST USE 1. Remove the base unit, 5 food trays, 2 tray liners (for making fruit leather), and 1 mesh tray (for drying finely chopped foods and herbs). 2. W ash trays, liners and cover in warm soapy water . Rinse well. (They can also be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher.
5 PREPARING FOODS TO DRY Apples, pears, peaches and apricots are frequently pretreated to slow the loss of vitamins A and C and also to prevent browning. All fruits and vegetables should be thoroughly washed to remove dirt, bacteria and insect larvae.
6 STORAGE Packaging DRIED FOODS MUST BE PROPERLY PACKAGED IN ORDER TO KEEP WELL. Package your dried foods in freezer plastic bags, squeezing out as much air as possible. We recom- mend using one of the several models of Deni Freshlock® vacuum sealers or vacuum canisters.
7 DRYING FRUITS Preparation ■ W ash fruits well and remove any bruised or overripe portions. Peel if desired. Large fruits may be halved. If pieces of fruit vary in size, they may be sliced 1 / 4 ” to 3 / 8 ” thick for more even drying. Smaller fruits such as grapes and cherries may be dried whole.
8 ■ Popping Backs: When drying fruit halves, especially apricots, it has been suggested that popping the back (“inside out”) will speed the drying time. This is true, but it also results in the loss of the nutritional juices to the bottom of the dehydrator.
