5. Blanching in syrup may help retain the colour of apples, apricots, figs, nectarines, peaches, pears and
plums and also gives a sweet taste.
NB: before drying pre-treated food, remove any excess moisture by placing food on paper towels or clean
dry cloths. Ingredients should be laid on the trays in a thin layer with space in between each item to allow
for thorough drying.
USE
Make sure that the OFF/temperature knob is set to position "OFF" (off) before the appliance is plugged into an
electrical socket.
1. Spread the food over the tray in an even layer.
2. Place the drying trays with the food onto the base unit and then put the lid on.
3. Plug the appliance into an electrical socket, then turn the temperature knob to set the temperature.
4. Set the temperature using the table below as a guide. Drying time will vary according to the type of
ingredients, size of the pieces and the tray load. The greater the moisture content of the food, the longer
the drying time it will need. All of the included drying trays must be used regardless of whether they
contain any food.

5. The contents of the lowest tray will be dried the most efficiently, so the trays should all be circulated
through the different positions at regular intervals to ensure that all the food is dried to the same degree.
For even drying rotate the trays from top to bottom and left to right (see fig 1.) every few hours. Please
note that the trays will be very hot when in use especially nearest the heating element and you must
always wear oven gloves to do this.

should be stored in a cool, dark place in a suitable container.
7. When you have finished, rotate the OFF/temperature knob to position "OFF" and then unplug the
appliance.
