DEHYDRATE
Dehydrating is used to dry and/or preserve foods such as
fruits, vegetables and herbs. This mode holds an
optimum low temperature (100° F - 160° F) while
circulating the heated air to slowly remove moisture.
Dehydrate dries food with heat from a third element
behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated
throughout the oven by the convection fan.
For Best Results:
•
Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140° F. Dry herbs
at 100° F. (Refer to the Dehydrate Chart for
examples).
•
Drying times vary depending on the moisture and
sugar content of the food, the size of the pieces,
the amount being dried and the humidity in the
air. Check food at the minimum drying time.
•
Multiple racks can be used simultaneously.
Contact your
Siemens
dealer for drying racks.
•
Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.
•
Consult a food preservation book, county
Cooperative Extension Office or library for additional
information.

The door must be open during the Dehydrate mode.
Prop the door open at least 1" by placing an object (i.e.;
wooden spoon) in the upper corner between the door
and the side panel. Be careful that the object does not
touch the oven gasket.
Dehydrate Chart
Oven will stay on for 48 hours before shutting off automatically.
