Use and Care Manual

Working on a simple premise, the Excalibur

Dehydrator removes water from food by

a continuous circulation of thermostatically-controlled warm air. A variety of foods, from

bright golden kernels of farm-fresh corn to rings of island-sweetened pineapple can be

dehydrated. Produce, however, is not the only food commonly preserved in a food dryer!

Slices of beef, chicken, fish or even venison can be marinated in a combination of sauces

and spices and easily transformed into homemade jerky. A carton of yogurt spread over a

sheet of Paraflexx

™

or plastic wrap, dries, and becomes a vividly colored, taffy-like snack

or fruit roll.

Operating cost for your Excalibur

Dehydrator is approximately 3 - 6 cents per hour. Using

your dehydrator compared to traditional canning or freezing methods will prove to be well

worth your initial low-cost investment.
