How To Operate Your Food Dehydrator
Your food dehydrator is simple to use and is designed to make the dehydration process
simple and accurate if the instructions are followed. Be sure that you have read the safety tips
at the beginning of this manual before proceeding.
The first time you turn on your food dehydrator you may notice an odour. This is normal. To
avoid odour from being transferred to the food, place one tray covered with lid on the base
of the unit, and following instructions, allow the unit to run without food in place until the
odour is gone. This is only necessary the first time you use the dehydrator and takes less than
one hour.
Before you begin preparing your food, wash and dry the trays, the lid and the tray liners, if
they are to be used. Place dehydrator base where you intend to use it for the dehydration
process and insure electrical cord reaches an outlet in a safe manner. This way, as you
prepare the food you can place it right on the trays. As a tray is filled it can be placed on the
dehydrator and you will be ready to start the dehydrator in no time!
MODEL CFD-2006
The CFD-2006 gives the user full control over the temperature in a range of 104°F to 158°F
(35°C to 70°C) as well as how long the unit will run using its integral digital timer. Use lower
temperatures and shorter times for thinner or smaller pieces of food or for smaller loads of
food (such as when drying only a few trays). Use higher temperatures and longer times for
thicker foods and larger loads. The temperature control can also be used to turn down the
temperature as the food is near the end of its drying cycle, making it easier to control the final
moisture level in the food.
