Drying Other Items
Flowers
The flowers should be picked after the dew has dried and before the evening dampness.
Flowers should be dried as quickly and as soon as possible after picking. Discard any damaged
or brown leaves. Place in trays without overlapping. Drying times will vary depending upon
size and type of flower. Dry for approximately 2 to 36 hours.
Herbs
Rinse and shake off excess water. Pat dry. Remove dead or discoloured leaves. If using seed,
pick when pods have changed color. You should leave herbs on the stem and remove when
drying has been completed Spread herbs loosely on tray. Drying times will vary according to
size and type. Dry for approximately 2 to 6 hours.
Nuts
Shell and rinse with hot water. Spread in a single layer onto trays. After dehydrating, allow
nuts to cool before storing. Nuts contain a lot of oil and the oil could cause the nuts to
become rancid so you should freeze them to guarantee freshness. When ready to use the
nuts, bring them to room temperature. Dry for approximately 18 to 26 hours.
If service is needed
If your dehydrator experiences a problem first refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on page
15. This page contains numerous tips for diagnosing and solving common problems. If the
solution cannot be found there, contact the dealer or distributor where you purchased the
unit and request additional assistance or arrange for repair service.
When returning the unit for service DO NOT SEND DRYING TRAYS unless they are defective or
you were requested to do so.
The electrical parts in the base are not designed to be serviced by the user. Opening the
electrical portion of the base can void your warranty or damage the dehydrator beyond
repair. Any such work must only be performed by an Authorized Service Center.
