Dehydrate Dehydration (Drying) is a method of preserving fruits,
vegetables, herbs and meats by removing moisture so bacteria,
yeast and mold cannot grow and spoil the food. The oven uses
an automatic set temperature and the convection fan to remove
moisture from the foods to dry and preserve them. Note that over
12 hours may be required to dry some foods.
Accurate and complete information on basic food drying is
available from your local cooperative extension service office.
To locate this office in your area, look in your telephone
directory for the county government listings under your
county name.
During dehydration, your oven door must remain partially
open to allow for air circulation and moisture removal.
Use the dehydration doorstop, which is included with your oven,
to hold the door open for dehydration.
1
Open the oven door.
2 Place the magnetic end of the doorstop onto the
upper inside surface of the oven door.
3 Close the oven door, allowing the door to rest against
the doorstop.
4 Touch OPTIONS.
5 Touch DEHYDRATE.
6 For double oven models only, touch UPPER OVEN
or LOWER OVEN to select the desired oven.
7 Enter the temperature (max. 200°F).
8 Touch ENTER.
9 Touch START.
NOTES:
• Store the doorstop in a safe place when not in use.
• Use only the doorstop provided with your oven and only use
the doorstop while dehydrating.
• Do not store the doorstop in the oven.
• Remember that the proper preparation, treatment and storage
of food are essential for the quality and safety of dried food.
Dehydrating Helpful Tips:
•Multiple racks of food can be dried at one time.
• Drying time will vary depending on several factors:
• number of racks of food
• amount of food on each rack
• size, shape and thickness of food
• type of drying trays used
• Use food preservation resources, such as your local
cooperative extension service, as a guide for selecting
food-safe drying trays.
