Before The First Use - Domo DO353VD Mode D'emploi

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Before using the machine for the first time:
1. Rinse the stainless steel trays, the grill, the drip tray and the door - never rinse the entire appliance -
with water and dry them with a towel.
2. Start the empty machine and allow it to run while empty for 30 minutes.
3. The machine is now ready for use. (This is only necessary the very first time you use the machine,
after you have unpacked it.)
USE
PREPARATION
· Wash the food and pat it dry with a towel or paper towel.
· Peeling the food prior to drying it does decrease the drying time, but it also results in the loss of
valuable vitamins and minerals.
· Cut the food into pieces, slices or strips of approximately the same size and thickness. Remove seeds,
pits, etc. if necessary. Cut away any damaged or bruised areas.
· Hard food (e.g. hard vegetables) and vegetables that may not be consumed raw are best if blanched
first, so that it is semi-soft prior to drying. This decreases the drying time and ensures that less
vitamins are lost. Make sure that the food is sufficiently dried prior to drying it.
FILLING THE TRAYS
· Divide the food evenly over the stainless steel trays. Do not allow pieces to overlap.
· Make sure that a maximum of 90 % of the tray is covered, in order to allow for good air circulation.
· Depending on the size of the food, the trays can be adjusted in height.
DRYING FOOD

1. To turn on the appliance, press the on/off button. The appliance is programmed to start

2. Press the temperature button to set the temperature (35-70 °C). Using + and -, select the
temperature you want. This can be set at per 5 °C.
Timer
After having set the temperature, select the desired time setting (30 minutes up to 19 hours 30 minutes).
Press the timer and, using + and -, select the time you want. This can be set at per half hour. Once the time
has gone by, the appliance will beep and turn off automatically.
Note: while drying food, the temperature and timer can be adjusted at any time, if so required.
PRESERVATION OF DRIED FOOD
· Allow the food to cool completely before putting it away
· Save the food in air-tight jars or bags so that the food cannot absorb any moisture. In this way the
food can be preserved for a long time.
· Save the food in a dry, dark place.
