Dehydrate :

Dehydrate dries with heat from a third element behind

the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated

throughout the oven by the convection fan.

Use Dehydrate to dry and/or preserve foods such as

fruits, vegetables and herbs. This mode holds an

optimum low temperature of 100 °F to 160 °F (38 °C to

71 °C) while circulating the heated air to slowly remove

moisture. The oven stays on for 48 hours before shutting

off automatically.

Tips

▯ Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140 °F (60 °C). Dry

herbs at 100 °F (38 °C) (refer to the Dehydrate Chart

for examples).

▯ Drying times vary depending on the moisture and

sugar content of the food, the size of the pieces, the

amount being dried and the humidity in the air. Check

food at the minimum drying time.

▯ Multiple drying racks (not included) can be used

simultaneously.

▯ Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.

▯ Consult a food preservation book, county Cooperative

Extension Office or library for additional information.
