Dehydrate

(some models)

The dehydrate mode 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 pre-

serve foods such as fruits, vegetables and herbs.

This mode holds an optimum low temperature

(100° F - 160° F) while circulating the heated air

to slowly remove moisture. The oven will stay on

for 48 hours before shutting off automatically.

For Best Results:

• Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140° F. Dry herbs at 100° F. (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 racks (not included) can be used simultaneously. Contact your dealer

to order drying racks.

• Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.

• Consult a food preservation book, county Cooperative Extension Office or

library for additional information.
