• Operate the dehydrator only in a clean, dust-free area. Dust and dirt can be drawn

into the dehydrator and can contaminate the food being dried.

• Do not place the dehydrator on a towel or carpet. This will reduce or cut off the

dehydrator’s airﬂ ow, and could result in damage to the appliance.

• Always leave at least one inch of space around the dehydrator on all sides for

proper ventilation.

• A short power cord has been provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming

entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is

exercised during its use. Use an extension cord rated at 5 amps or more. The cord

should be arranged so it will not drape over the counter or table top. Do not use an

extension cord longer than is necessary.

normal. To avoid this smell from being transferred to the food, place one tray and

unit to run without food in place until the aroma is gone. This is only necessary the

very ﬁ rst time you use the dehydrator, and takes less then one hour..
