Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the dehydrator is simple: place the unit on a flat, heat-resistant surface with at least 10cm of clearance around the vents for proper airflow. Ensure the trays are stacked securely by aligning the notches. To clean, wait for the base unit to cool completely and wipe it down with a damp cloth—never submerge the base in water. The plastic trays are typically hand-washed using warm soapy water; avoid abrasive scrubbers that may scratch the surface. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
