DRYING
• To purchase a drying rack, contact
your Jenn-Air dealer for the
“DRYINGRACK” Accessory Kit or
call 1-800-688-8408.
• Most fruits and vegetables dry well
and retain their color when dried at
140
°
F. For optimal flavor, dry herbs
at 100
°
F, however, at this lower
temperature expect extended drying
times of up to 8 hours.
• The length of drying times vary due to
the following: Water and sugar con-
tent of food, size of food pieces,
amount of food being dried, humidity
in the air.
• Check foods at the minimum drying
time. Dry longer if necessary.
• More than one rack of food may be
dried at the same time. However,
additional drying time is needed.
NOTES:
• Fruits that turn brown when exposed
to air should be treated with an anti-
oxidant. Try one of the following meth-
ods:
1. Dip fruit in a mixture of two parts
bottled lemon juice to one part
cool water.
2. Soak fruit in a solution of 1 tsp.
ascorbic acid or commercial anti-
oxidant to 1 quart of cold water.
• Foods may drip during the drying pro-
cess. After drying highly acidic or sug-
ary foods, clean the oven bottom with
soap and water. The porcelain oven
finish may discolor if acidic or sugary
food soils are not wiped up prior to
high heat or a self-cleaning cycle.
• Refer to other resources at your local
library or call your local County Ex-
tension service for additional informa-
tion.
• Open the oven
door slightly.
• Rotate the metal
spacer at the up-
per right corner
of the oven
frame upward to
hold the door in position.
• While holding the spacer up, gently
close the oven door until it rests
against the spacer. Follow the dry-
ing guide on page 15 for drying
times. Cool foods to room tem-
perature before testing for doneness.
• When the door is opened, the spacer
will rotate downward and rest flush
against the range side panel. Reset the
spacer if you need to continue the
drying process.
4. When drying is complete, turn the oven
off by pressing the Stop/Clear pad.
