Before using the appliance for the first time
When the appliance is switched on for the
first time, a slight smell may be emitted. This
is normal and will only last for a very short
time. It will help to let the empty appliance
heat up for 30 minutes, ensuring sufficient
ventilation. Afterwards clean the unit
thoroughly (see General Care and Cleaning
below).
Drying-racks
Depending on the quantity of food to be
dried, up to five racks can be used at the
same time.
The distance between the drying-racks can
be adjusted in two ways by means of the
integral spacer tabs in the outer ring: for a
greater distance between the racks, the tabs
should be vertically aligned; with a
horizontal tab alignment, the distance
between the racks is reduced.
General information:
The food or vegetables to be dried should be
ripe, fresh, healthy and clean.
Dried foods keep their flavour and
nutritional value, and they do not lose their
mineral content. Once dried, they can be
stored easily for many years, but it is
imperative to use only ripe, fresh, healthy
and clean fruit or vegetables etc.
When drying fruit, always remove the entire
core, stems and stones (with the exception of
cherries). Do not peel the fruit before
drying. The use of lemon juice prior to the
drying process prevents the fruit from
discolouring (i.e. turning brown).
