MODEL: RJ43-5-R
Pack food as tightly as possible into clean, dry, insect-proof containers. Glass jars or moisture
vapor proof freezer containers or bags are recommended. Metal cans with lids can be used if
the dried food is first placed in a plastic bag.
Your dehydrated food should be checked about once a month. Should you find mold growing,
scrape it off, then pasteurize the contents.
To pasteurize, place food evenly on a baking sheet and bake in an oven for 15 minutes at 175°F.
Then repack in a clean airtight non-plastic container.
ROTATING THE TRAYS
This Food Dehydrator is scientifically designed to rely on natural heat convection to carry away
moist air away from the food. Trays should be rotated during the processing period to insure
even drying. Trays toward the bottom of the dehydrator are exposed to the hottest and driest
air, causing them to dry more rapidly. So simply move them up and move the ones on the top
to the bottom.
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT BETWEEN TRAYS
The food dehydrator offers two options for setting tray heights.
To set the lower (default) height of 1.5 cm, place the trays on top of each other (Shown in A1).
Turn and seat the trays so that the tabs fit precisely into the grooves located at the bottom of
each tray.
To increase distance between trays to 2.8 cm, turn the trays so that the tabs located at the
bottom of the trays are placed adjacent to the grooves, (Shown in A2).
