dehydrator and can contaminate the food being dried.
• Do not place the dehydrator on a towel or carpet. This will reduce or cut off the
dehydrator’s airflow and could result in damage to the appliance.
• Always leave at least one inch of space around the dehydrator on all sides for proper
ventilation.
• Do not use more than 20 drying trays at one time.
• Do not expose any parts of the dehydrator to temperatures above 167°F.
• Do not operate near combustible or pressurized spray cans.
• To clean the heating base, unplug from wall outlet and wipe with damp cloth or sponge
and mild soap. Do not immerse base or cord in water. Top lid and trays may be submerged
in warm water and washed with mild soap or washed in TOP rack of dishwasher only. Heat
from the drying cycle can warp trays which is not covered by warranty.
• Before each time you operate your food dehydrator be sure to wash and dry the trays and
any other parts which will contact the food.
• Do not operate this Food Dehydrator on a non-heat resistant glass or wood cooking
surface, or any tablecloth. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT A HEAT RESISTANT COOKING SURFACE

• 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.
