HOW TO LOAD TRAYS AND SCREENS
Dehydrator Preparation
• The top tray with vent cover must always be
in the top position for proper drying.
• All (trays should be used during each drying,
even if some are empty.
• It is best to dry one type of similar food at a
time; for example, all fruits or all vegetables.
• Always leave trays in place until drying is
complete. You may remove food from trays
when desired dryness is achieved.
1. Always place food in a single layer on each
tray for even drying. Do not overlap fruits,
vegetables, or meats. Do not crowd product on
trays. FIGURE 1
2. Use the mesh screen for drying herbs and
small pieces of fruits or vegetables. FIGURE 2
3. If using mesh screen, place screen in tray
before adding food. For best results, only use
mesh screen in the top tray with vent cover.

4. Use the fruit roll sheet for drying purees
from fruits. FIGURE 4
5. If using the fruit roll sheet, place sheet in
the top tray with vent cover. For best results,
do not use more than two fruit roll sheets and
place in the top two trays. Always stack the
top tray last, before the lid, for proper drying.
