OR Set zone B for 1 time and 1 temperature OR Set zone A+B for 1 time and 1 temperature. 2 time / 2 temperature This setting is most often used to speed up the drying process, decreasing the total drying time.

One side of my drying trays seems to be dried before the other. What should I do? Because your dehydrator may dry one side faster than the other, halfway through the drying cycle you may want to turn the trays 180º. This may speed up the dehydration process and will reduce energy consumption. My apples and pears have darkened to a rusty-brown color while drying. Are they safe to eat? Yes. Fruits that have turned brownish color are safe to eat.
