Vegetables
We always recommend soaking before further processing. Soak the required amount
of dried vegetables in about the same amount of water. But do not add more water than
necessary for preparation of the food. Do not let the softened vegetables stand for too long
before further use. The time of heat treatment of vegetables is about the same as in frozen
vegetables.
Herbs
They do not need further processing beside crushing or grinding and removing hard parts.
Do not crush dried herbs before storing, thus they will keep their taste and aroma for a long
time. Crush them right before use.
Mushrooms
The procedure is the same as for vegetables. Mushrooms can be ground before use, e.g.
into soups or sauces.
Packing and storing
Dried food can be stored packed in a foil (not an aluminium foil) for a long time, or in
various properly sealed containers and boxes intended for storing food. Peppers and hot
peppers can be cut or ground in a kitchen food processor and then stored in glasses as
spices.
Let food cool down before packing or storing. Pack them in smaller amounts as close as
possible to one another and store preferably at a cool, dry and dark place. At temperatures
lower than 10 °C, the time of storing is extended about 2 to 3 times. Use all the contents
immediately after opening if possible. Check stored dried food at least once a month. Do
not use metal containers or containers with a metal lid for storing.
IV. MAINTENANCE
Turn off the appliance and unplug the fork of the supply cord it from the mains
socket before handling! Let the drier cool off before cleaning! Do not use any rough
and abrasive cleaning agents! The lid with the propulsion unit may get dirty during
drying. Clean only the surface (wipe the dust and such). Use soft damp cloth to remove
old dust or other dirt. Cleaning dust and dirt settled inside the propulsion unit may be done
by vacuuming or by blowing. Wash the screens immediately after use in hot water with
soap, rinse them with clean water and let dry. Do not use the dishwasher. Some foods
may discolour the screens. However, this has no effect on the functions of the appliance
and this discoloration will usually disappear with time. Never dry the plastic die-cast over a
heat source (e.g. stove, el./gas cooker). After use, store the appliance in a safe, dustless,
clean and dry place, out of reach of children.
Filter cleaning (A3)
Release the arrest by turning the filter cover
A2 to position and remove the cover.
Take the A3 filter out of lid A and clean under running water, e.g. with a fine brush. Put the
filter back into the lid after drying. Insert the filter cover back and secure it by turning to
position .
