Dehydrate Mode
A NEW TAKE ON PANTRY STAPLES
Delicious, nutritious snacks are something we all look for these days. But the 
ones found in stores—even the “healthy foods” stores—may be both expensive 
and loaded with extra sugar and preservatives. Many of our Wolf owners are 
discovering the pleasures of making their own dried fruit or meat snacks using 
Dehydrate Mode. Circulating heat from the convection fans warms the oven 
between 110°F and 160°F, providing the proper drying atmosphere. Just cut up 
the food you would like to dry—apples and pears, fl ank steak for beef jerky, fresh 
herbs—and lay it over the dehydration racks from the dehydration kit accessory. 
It usually takes about 10 hours to dry fruit and 4 to 15 hours for meat, depending 
on thickness. As some foods require more time to fully dehydrate, this mode 
overrides the 12-hour shut-o  safety feature.

INSIDE YOUR OVEN
Gentle heat from convection fans and 
rear heating elements.
The dry atmosphere created in Dehydrate Mode will preserve fried food’s crispness until 
you are ready to serve. Say goodbye to soggy fried chicken and limp appetizers. 
Quick tip: Keep fried foods warm and crisp
Dried Fruit
As a stand-alone snack or a topping for yogurt parfaits, homemade dried fruit is as enjoyable 
(and simple) to make as it is to eat.
