USE
Make sure that the on/off switch is set to "O" (off) before the appliance is plugged into an electrical socket.

4. Set the temperature using the table below as a guide. Drying time will vary according to the type of

5. The contents of the lowest tray will be dried the most efficiently, so the trays should all be circulated
through the different positions at regular intervals to ensure that all the food is dried to the same degree.
For even drying rotate the trays from top to bottom and left to right (see fig 1.) every few hours. Please
note that the trays will be very hot when in use especially nearest the heating element and you must
always wear oven gloves to do this.
