PURPOSE OF USE AND FEATURES OF THE FOOD DEHYDRATOR The food dehydrator is intended for dehydrating food such as fruit, vegetables, fruits

of the forest, meat, seeds, beans, nuts, mushrooms, etc. It is also suitable for drying herbs, medicinals, spices or even flowers for decorating or for making aromatic mixtures.

The food dehydrator comprises of a cabinet with a drying area with twelve levels for the removable trays. The heating element, motor with fan and thermostat are located at the back of the cabinet.

The food dehydrator functions on the basis of Horizontal Air Flow technology, which ensures even heat distribution. It enables heat to be evenly distributed to all levels of the drying area and eliminates the need to rotate the trays during the dehydration process.

WHY USE A FOOD DEHYDRATOR? Drying (dehydration) is one of the oldest methods of food preservation during

which food is heated to evaporate its moisture content. Unlike standard long-term food storage (e.g. canning, freezing), gentle dehydration retains up to 80  % of vitamins, minerals and trace elements, while concentrating aromatic compounds, which makes dehydrated foods all the more tasty. With correct storage, it is then possible to use dehydrated foods all year round.

Foods that are heated during standard cooking or canning procedures over a longer period of time at a  temperature higher than 48  C  start to lose their nutritional value and enzyme content. Food enzymes are important because they aid the body's digestive enzymes in breaking up food into digestible proteins. A suitable food dehydrator such as this one, is able to maintain a sufficiently low temperature at which enzymes do not lose their effect, while at the same time generate sufficiently hot air for fast dehydration of food and prevent the development of moulds and bacteria.

BEFORE FIRST USE Before first using the food dehydrator, thoroughly wash the removable trays in hot

water using neutral kitchen detergent. Then rinse all these parts with clean water and dry them thoroughly with a fine wiping cloth.

Also clean out the inside of the cabinet using a  lightly dampened wiping cloth and then wipe everything dry. When cleaning, take care not to wet the heating elements or the fan of the food dehydrator. Never submerge the cabinet of the food dehydrator in water or any other liquid.

Before first use, we recommend running the food dehydrator empty for at least 4 hours. After turning off the food dehydrator, allow it and all its accessories to cool down and air out to rid them of potential odours.

PREPARING FOR OPERATION

LOCATION OF THE FOOD DEHYDRATOR Locate the food dehydrator in a well-ventilated, warm and dry room with minimal

dustiness. To ensure proper air circulation, there must be a  clearance of at least 15 cm around to the food dehydrator.

The surface on which the food dehydrator is placed must be stable, heat resistant and sufficiently far from other sources of heat. The load bearing capacity of the selected surface must correspond to the combined weight of your food dehydrator and its contents.

Also select a location respecting the fact that it is not appropriate to move the food dehydrator while it is running. Likewise, also take into consideration the fact that the aroma of the dehydrated food will be released into the room during the dehydration process, which may not be pleasant for everyone.

SELECTING APPROPRIATE FOODS Correctly selecting and preparing foods for dehydration will result in their better

appearance and taste, faster drying and termination of the ripening process, and it will also extend the food's shelf life.

The best results are only achieved when good quality ingredients are used. Practically any type of fruit or vegetable may be dehydrated. Only select ripe fruits and vegetables, not over-ripened, and free of bruising, rot and moulds. It is possible to dehydrate sour and mildly sweet fruits and vegetables.

When intending to dehydrate meat, it must be fresh and lean.

PREPARING INGREDIENTS

Note: It is highly probable that fruits and vegetables bought in ordinary stores are waxed or treated with a spray. Most sprays or waxes can be washed off using bio-degradable cleaning products or in vinegar water, after which it is necessary to rinse the food using clean water. If the attempt to remove the wax or spray is unsuccessful, we recommend to peel the food prior to dehydrating it.

FRUIT Thoroughly wash the fruit and dry it well. Prepare only an amount of fruit that you

will be able to dry within a single cycle. Remove any soft or damaged parts. Remove any pits, stones, stems or roots, and any other unusable parts.

Cut the fruit into pieces of equal thickness, ideally 2 to 4 mm. Pieces of varying thickness unnecessarily extend the dehydration time. Cutting it into smaller pieces will speed up the dehydration process, whilst improving the quality of the product.

Small fruits such as various types of berries (strawberries, bilberries, cranberries, etc.) do not need to be cut up. However, larger fruits should be cut in half or cut into slices or cubes.

Dry the cut up fruit using a clean wiping cloth or paper towel. To prevent certain types of fruit from browning (apples, pears or apricots), soak the

fruit slices in a solution made from 250 ml of water and 1 tablespoons of lemon or pineapple juice prior to dehydrating them. To achieve interesting flavours, you can put honey, sugar, cinnamon or coconut on it. Then allow the pieces of fruit to drip off any excess and then they can be immediately dehydrated. Fruit that is treated with this solution will remain light coloured and will not turn brown during the dehydration process nor during storage.

Fruits with naturally tough peels (grapes, plums or even figs) may be blanched in boiling water for 1-2 minutes to speed up the dehydration process. Then immediately submerge them in cold water, cool them down, dry them and cut them up into slices.

Place unpeeled fruit with the peel facing downwards and the cut surface upwards. Always place non-straight shapes on the edge with the peel, not on the straight surface.

VEGETABLES Clean the vegetables thoroughly and wash them. Cut out any surface defects. It is advisable to steam vegetables that require long cooking times, e.g. root

vegetables, pea pods, beetroot, broccoli, carrot, celery, corn, potato and cauliflower prior to dehydrating them. To prevent it from losing colour and vitamins, it is sufficient to cook the given vegetable over steam for approximately five minutes.

It is good to peel tomatoes. Cut up vegetables can be dipped in salty water.

MEAT Beef, game, poultry or fish meat is suitable for dehydration. Select lean meat

containing as little fat as possible. The leaner the meat, the faster it will be dehydrated. The higher the fat content in the meat, the shorter will be its shelf life after dehydration.

Thoroughly dry the meat and trim off any fatty parts. To ensure even dehydration, then slice it into very thin strips approximately 2 to 5 mm thick and 2.5 cm wide. Select the length as required.

Season the finished strips according to taste using salt, marinating it, applying barbecue spices, etc. Leave the seasoned meat to rest, ideally overnight in a refrigerator.

After placing the meat in the food dehydrator, use the Jerky mode, which is specifically intended for dehydrating meat. We recommend to check on the dehydration process 1x per hour. Well dehydrated meat is determined by pushing both its ends towards each other and seeing whether it snaps in the middle.

- 6 - 01/2021Copyright 2021, Fast R, a.s.

HERBS, SPICES AND FLOWERS Dehydrate herbs very gently. Only remove the stems, and do not cut them up any

further. Leafy herbs need to be turned over during the dehydration process to prevent them from sticking.

Leaves appropriate for dehydration are young and brittle, harvest pea pods before they open up. Pick flowers that are young and half-opened.

PET FOOD SNACKS To make snacks for household pets, use healthy and fresh ingredients free of any

additives or preservatives. It is important to take into consideration the size of the animal. For example, small dog breeds have small mouths and tiny teeth and need small snacks that are not too crunchy. On the other hand, large dog breeds can handle big and crunchy snacks. You can test their hardness by crushing a few snacks in your hand.

Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl and form a loaf. On a floured cutting board, roll out the dough to a height of approx. 6 mm. Then cut out your dog's favourite shapes.

PLACING FOOD ON THE TRAYS Arrange the cut pieces evenly on the trays, do not overlap the pieces, remembering

to leave gaps between the individual pieces. To ensure sufficient air circulation, utilize approximately 85 % of each tray.

Underneath juicier foods it is better to put the drying insert in order to prevent juices from dripping down on to the trays and to make subsequent maintenance easier.

OPERATION

TURNING ON THE FOOD DEHYDRATOR Place the food dehydrator in a  location according to the instructions in chapter

LOCATION OF THE FOOD DEHYDRATOR. Insert the trays with the prepared food into the food dehydrator and properly close

CHECKING FOOD DURING THE DEHYDRATION PROCESS If you wish to slide out any of the trays during the dehydration process to check the

condition of the food on it, simply open the door A4 and slide the tray out. Due to the temperature inside, use kitchen gloves to slide out the tray with the

food. Take out a food sample, allow it to cool down for a while and check it. In the meantime, close the door.

Note: If you press button B4 (START/STOP) during the dehydration process, this will end the dehydration process and the food dehydrator will turn of. When the appliance is turned back on, it is not possible to continue on with the dehydration process, it must be restarted or the respective time and temperature must be set.

TURNING OFF THE FOOD DEHYDRATOR To turn off the dehydrator, press button B4 (START/STOP). A 9-second countdown

will start on the display and at its end the dehydrator will turn off completely. Disconnect the power cord of the food dehydrator from the power socket. If you

wish to move the food dehydrator to another location, first allow it to cool down completely.

FOOD DEHYDRATION TIPS Experiment with the dehydration time to your own taste. Somebody prefers drier

and crunchier results, while somebody else gives preference to less dry product with a tougher consistency. We recommend that you record the dehydration time for individual types of foods.

When you wish to check the degree of dehydration, take out a handful of food and allow it to cool down for a few minutes. Hot food appears to be softer, more moist and more flexible than in its cooled state.

Before removing food from the trays, check that each and every piece is completely dehydrated. When unsure, slice a piece in half and check the degree of dehydration.

Leave the dehydrated fruit, vegetables or mushrooms to cool for about 1 hour, if you prefer inside the turned off food dehydrator. However, to not extend this cooling time as dehydrated food may absorb moisture from the ambient air and thus require further dehydration.

The food must be sufficiently dehydrated to prevent micro-organism from multiplying and spoilage. Dehydrated vegetables must be hard and brittle, dried fruit should be soft and flexible. For long term storage, home-grown fruit should be drier than commercially bought dehydrated fruit.

We recommend inspecting the food every hour and in the event of uneven dehydration, to rearrange the position of the food on the trays.

STORING DEHYDRATED FOOD Before wrapping or storing dehydrated food, allow it to cool down first. Only use

suitable packaging for storage, for example glass canning jars, air-tight containers, food-grade plastic bags or packaging, that are resistant against ingression of moisture. Do not use plastic or aluminium containers. Metal cans with flip open lids may be used only if the dehydrated food is placed in plastic bags.

Store dehydrated meat at room temperature in a  closed container in a  dry, dark location. Stored in this way it will remain tasty and edible for several weeks or even months.

Package dehydrated food in smaller amounts as tightly together as possible, but do not push it against itself.

Do not store herbs and spices in paper bags because the oils contained in them will be absorbed by the paper, which will ruin them. The best type of storage container is again a glass jar with a firm locking mechanism, and in the case of flowers glass jars with a wide neck for easy handling.

Place dried flowers, leaves and blossom petals into glass jars with a wide neck. When necessary, add 3-4 drops of an aromatic oil to rejuvenate the fragrance and close the container. Shake the contents and store them in a cool place. In this way, the aromatic contents will always be available.

Ideally, store the containers in a dry, dark place at room temperature or lower. At temperatures below 10 C, their shelf life is extended by 23 times. Dried fruits have a shelf life of at least 1-2 years.

Consume the entire contents after opening, ideally all at once. Inspect the stored dehydrated food at least once per month.

Inspect dehydrated food regularly once per month. If you find mould on the surface of the food, separate it from the remainder and dispose of it. Pasteurise the remaining pieces that were not attacked by mould. To pasteurise the contents, arrange the food on a cake baking tray and bake in an oven for approximately 15 minutes at a temperature of 80 C. Then allow the food to cool down and repack into a clean airtight package.

REHYDRATION Rehydration serves to reconstitute food to its initial state. However, not all

dehydrated food must be reconstituted. Especially fruit is better in the dehydrated state. On the other hand, most types of vegetables are tastier when reconstituted to their initial state.

Through rehydration, food is returned practically to its initial size, shape and appearance. If handled correctly, it retains most of its aroma and taste, as well as minerals and a significant amount of vitamins.

To reconstitute vegetables for cooking, simply wash them in clean water and then place them in cold, unsalted water and cover. If possible, allow them to soak for approximately 28 hours, then cook them in the water that you used for soaking. If necessary, add more water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the temperature and gently cook until ready. At the end of the cooking process, you may also add salt, which will slow down the reconstitution process. As far as fresh products are concerned, overcooking them will reduce their aroma. To reconstitute vegetables, e.g. carrot, use cold water for soaking. Dehydrated food may be reconstituted by soaking, cooking or a combinations of both these methods and after reconstitution will look similar to the fresh state.

Attention: Dehydration does not rid food of bacteria, yeasts and moulds. If you extend the soaking process at room temperature, this will risk spoilage. Therefore, when soaking fruit or vegetables for longer than 12 hours, place the container into a refrigerator.

- 7 - 01/2021Copyright 2021, Fast R, a.s.

To prevent food from losing its nutritional value, use the water from the soaking solution when preparing various recipes. The volume of one cup of dried vegetables is equivalent to approx. 2 cups after reconstitution. To replace the moisture that was removed during dehydration, pour cold water over the vegetables and soak them from 20 minutes to 2 hours. Then pour boiling water over the vegetables. When cooking, bring the vegetables to a boil and then leave them to simmer.

The volume of one cup of dried fruit is equivalent to approx. 1  1/2 cups after reconstitution. Add just enough water to cover the fruit its possible to add more water later if necessary. 18 hours is sufficient for reconstituting the majority of fruits. It depends on the type of fruit, size of pieces and water temperature (the process is shorter in hot water). If the soaking time is too long, the fruit will lose aroma. To cook reconstituted fruit, cover the container and simmer it in the water in which you soaked it.

Dehydrated or reconstituted fruit and vegetables may be used in various ways. Dehydrated fruit is suitable for preparing refreshments both at home and on trips.

Fruit pieces can be added to bread products or confectionery. Reconstituted fruits can be served as compotes or sauces. They may also be used as

ingredients in recipes for making bread, jelly salads, omelettes, gugelhupf, stuffing, milkshakes, ice creams and cooked cereals.

Dehydrated vegetables can be used in soups, stewed meat dishes, made into vegetables platers, or used as dry refreshments.

Reconstituted vegetables can be use in your favourite recipes like meat cakes and other main dishes, in jellies or vegetable salads.

Crushed dehydrated vegetables are an excellent ingredient for meat bouillon, soups and sauces.

For optimal retention of nutritional values, we recommend: - adhere to the correct pre-cooking time. - package dehydrated food correctly and store in containers in a cool, dry and dark

place. - regularly inspect stored foods, checking for absorption of moisture. - consume dehydrated foods as soon as possible. - when cooking reconstituted food, use the soaking solution.

OVERHEATING PROTECTION The food dehydrator is equipped with an overheating protection fuse. If as a result

of, for example incorrectly arranged food, the temperature rises too high, the food dehydrator will turn off automatically. In such a case, pull out the power plug and allow the food dehydrator to cool down. Then you can put into operation again.
