Operating Instructions - Weston 74-1001-W Mode D'emploi

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Insert the connector end of the Power
Cord into the Power Cord Port on the
back side of the unit. Insert the Plug
on the Power Cord into a standard
120-volt grounded electrical outlet. DO
NOT modify the plug to fit an unsuitable
outlet.
2. Position the Dehydrator as to NOT
block the air vents at the rear of the
Dehydrator. Keep the Dehydrator
at least 12" (31 cm) away from any
wall, any combustible materials and/
or surfaces to allow for proper air
circulation. DO NOT operate the
Dehydrator on or near flammable
surfaces such as carpeting.
3. Install the Shelf Brackets. The
right-side Shelf Brackets mount on
the interior wall on the right side of the
Cabinet. The left-side Shelf Brackets
mount on the interior wall on the left
side of the Cabinet. Insert the tabs on
each Shelf into the corresponding slots
in the interior walls. Press down on
each Shelf during installation to make
sure they fully seat in the slots.
4. Make sure the Power Switch and
Timer Knob are both in the off "O"
position (FIGURE 3).
5. Plug the Dehydrator into an electrical
outlet.
6. Turn the Temperature Control Knob
to the desired heat setting. Use the
"Drying Guide" on top of the Dehydrator
as a reference.
7. Set the Timer Control Knob to the
desired drying time.

8. Turn the Power Switch ON "I."
9. Preheat the Dehydrator for 5-10
minutes at the desired temperature
before loading food onto the Trays.
10. Remove any excess water from
the food (this can be done by patting
the food with a paper towel or napkin).
Excess moisture may cause the
Dehydrator temperature to drop.
11. Load the Trays with the items to
be dried. Position the pieces so that
they do not touch each other. Do
not overlap or allow the product to
touch. Allow ample space between the
products for proper air circulation. You
do not need to install unused Trays.
12. Water droplets may form on
the surface of some products while
dehydrating. Periodically blot the
product with a clean paper towel.
NOTE: Drying times may vary based
on many circumstances including but
not limited to: the relative humidity of
the room, the temperature of the food at
the beginning of the drying process, the
amount of food in the Dehydrator, the
leanness of the meat, etc.
13. Install the Door onto the Dehydrator
by hanging it on the lip on top of the
Cabinet at the front. Make sure the
sides of the Door are securely closed
against the front of the Cabinet. Be
careful when removing the Door
during operation. The Dehydrator
may become hot depending on the
temperature setting.
