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.
Open the oven door.
Place the magnetic end of the
doorstop onto the upper inside
surface of the oven door.
Close the oven door, allowing the
door to rest against the doorstop.
Touch OPTIONS.
Touch DEHYDRATE.
For double oven models only, touch
UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN to
select the desired oven.
Enter the temperature
(max. 200°F).
Touch ENTER.
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.
To order a replacement doorstop, call
our National Parts Center at 800.626.2002
and reference WB08T10024.
