height of dehydrator can be increased from
308mm to 395mm by turning the upper trays
into the clips of lower ones, which make it
possible to load thicker food.

switch then adjust the temperature.
Note: Set low temperature for thin/small
pieces of food or for a small load of food. Set
high temperature for drying thick/big pieces
of food and large loads. The thermostat can
also be used to decrease the temperature
as the food is near the end of its drying cycle
making it easier to control the nal moisture
level in the food.
3. Close the cover. Put the cover on the
top of the rst working tray and press the
power switch to ‘I’ position – the indicator
light will light up red.
Note: Make sure that the fan base is always
