Storage
Let the dried items cool off well before
storing. The best containers are clean
glass jars that can be closed, such as
those that are readily available in any
modern household. These jars are espe-
cially suitable if the dried items are to be
removed little by little over a period of
time. Plastic bags are not suitable in this
case. Heatsealed and vacuum-sealed
bags are also recommended; these are
the best method for storing dried vege-
tables.
Cleaning
Before cleaning, set the timer to 0 and disconnect the power cord. The electronic de-
hydrating unit will only become minimally dirty through usage. Simply wipe it off with a
damp cloth from time to time, and NEVER immerse this part in water! The new system
does away with complicated tray cleaning.
There is no dripping or sticking of the
foods being dehydrated.
The drying trays contain no screens or
wire mesh.
The trays can be easily cleaned like
any dish or soaked in water.
Do not use scouring materials, as this
will make subsequent cleaning efforts
more difficult.
All of the materials used in the various parts of the device are highly suitable and ap-
proved for foods. Natural pigments or fruit acids from foods (e. g. carrots) may cause
a slight discoloration of the surfaces of the dehydrating trays.
This is not a quality defect!
Dehydrated items can be stored at room
temperature for years. However, dry,
cool, dark rooms are even more suita-
ble. In any event, you will enjoy the best
flavour in the subsequent winter months
and early the next spring. As with other
preserved items, an occasional visual
check is recommended. For each 20°F
(10°C) that the storage temperature is
decreased, the storage time is increased
by two to three times. Labels that descri-
be the contents will help maintain order
and increase the enjoyment of your pre-
cious products.
The air flow filter on the motor com-
ponent must be kept free of dust
under all circumstances. Dirt or
dust residue should be removed
with a soft brush or by using a va-
cuum cleaner (min. suction power).
