PROBLEM SOLVING

PROBLEM:

Moisture in the storage container.

CAUSE:

Incomplete Drying.

Food is cut unevenly, causing incomplete or uneven drying.

Drying foods left at room temperature too long after cooling,

allows moisture to re-enter the foods.

PREVENTION: Test several pieces of food for dryness before removing it from

the

Dehydrator.

Cut foods evenly.

Cool quickly and package immediately in an air-tight container.

__________________________________________________________________

PROBLEM:

Mold is on the dehydrated food.

CAUSE:

Incomplete Drying.

The food was not checked for moisture content within a week.

The storage container is not air-tight.

The storage temperature is too warm.

Case hardening may have occurred, meaning the food was dried

at too high of a temperature and the food was only dry on the

outside, not the inside.

PREVENTION: Test several pieces of food for dryness before removing it from

the

Dehydrator.

__________________________________________________________________

PROBLEM:

Brown spots on vegetables.

CAUSE:

Too high of a drying temperature was used. Food is over-dry.

PREVENTION: Dry foods at appropriate temperatures. Use the “Drying

Guide” on the Control Panel as reference. Check foods often

for dryness.

PROBLEM:

Food sticking to

Trays.

CAUSE:
