Function of switch and buttons:

1. POWER Switch turns the Tribest Sedona Express on and off.

2. MODE button will allow you to choose one of three settings. The lights to the right of the MODE

button indicate which mode is activated.

• When the top RED light is lit, only FAST mode is activated.

• When the bottom GREEN light is lit, only RAW mode is activated.

• When both the RED and GREEN light are lit, the COMBO mode is activated (both FAST and

RAW mode) which uses the Two-Stage Sequential Temperature-Timer (TST) to speed up the

dehydration process.

The three settings:

1. FAST mode: The average internal temperature levels (as high as 167°F) will be main-

tained at the indicated temperature set by the user. As the heating element cycles on

and off, internal temperature will slightly rise and fall. The indicated temperature is

the average temperature maintained by the Sedona Express.

2. RAW Mode (with Overheat Protection): Uses the Overheat Protection feature to

ensure that the internal temperature (as high as 118°F) will not exceed the indicated

temperature. Indicated temperature is not the average temperature; indicated

temperature is the maximum temperature that the machine will reach in the drying

chamber. This is useful for preserving certain vital nutrients that can degrade at high

temperatures.

3. COMBO mode (with TST): Uses the Two-Stage Sequential Temperature-Timer (TST) to

set the two temperature/time settings. It starts at a higher temperature for a set time

(FAST mode) then automatically drops down to the lower temperature for the set

amount of time.

• FAST mode: The rst temperature setting and is set at a higher temperature

to encourage faster initial dehydrating, less spoiling/ fermenting of foods.

• RAW mode: The second temperature setting and is set at lower tempera-

tures for the majority of the duration to maintain the necessary temperature

for nutrient preservation.

3. SET/LIGHT button has three functions:

• It enables you to set the temperature:

- When initially setting the temperature, press the SET button once and the 3 digits of the TEMP

window will ash.

• It enables you to set the timer:

- When you press the SET button once more, the 2 digit TIMER window will ash.

1) Press the SET button once – While the TEMP window ashes, set the desired temperature by

using the 10 or 1 buttons to select your desired temperature.

2) When the TEMP window displays your desired temperature, press the SET button to

nalize your temperature setting. Your desired temperature is now set up, and the TIMER window

will ash.
