reduce the temperature before the end of the drying process, making it easier to control the final

Notes
• If you do not manage to dry all the foods in one day you can complete the drying the next day. In this
case you should store food in a bowl or a polythene bag and place it in the refrigerator.
• We recommend to stack at least 3 trays regardless whether there are foods on each or not. Smaller
amount of levels will not guarantee optimum functioning of the appliance.
Tips for proper food drying
• We recommend that you check the foods every hour and in case of uneven drying to pause the drying
and change the order of trays. The following factors can affect the drying time:
• Thickness of food slices
• Number of trays filled with foods
• The volume of the drying foods
• The amount of water in the foods and the humidity of the environment.
• The required level of dryness of the foods
• Wash and dry all the foods before you prepare them for drying. Select only undamaged foods for
preparation for drying, cut out the damaged places. Remove pits and cores from the fruit. Prepared fruit
should be ripe, but not overripe.
• The drying process will be even when you slice the food in evenly thick slices (about 0.6 cm). Thin slices
dry faster, but remember that the drying process reduces their size substantially. Place the unpeeled fruit
