Prior To First Use; Preparing The Dried Material; Operation - Graef DA 506 Mode D'emploi

The connecting cable must not be stretched tightly.
●
The electric safety of the unit is ensured only when it is connected to a socket
●
with protective conductor installed correctly. Operation on a socket without
protective conductor is forbidden. If in doubt, let the house installation checked
by a trained electrician. The manufacturer shall not assume responsibility for
damage which has been caused by absent or interrupted protective conductor.

PRIOR TO FIRST USE

Prior to first use, wipe out the unit using a damp cloth. Then let the unit run for 45
minutes at 32°C in order to remove the moisture inside the unit. Clean the trays
in warm water.

PREPARING THE DRIED MATERIAL

Use fresh and washed foodstuffs only. Do without using overripe fruit or vegeta-
bles. Prior to dehydration, remove stems, stones and the core. In order to maintain
the colour of the dried material, sprinkle the fruit with lemon juice. Foodstuffs
with a high sugar contents, such as apples, pears, peaches and bananas, are prone
to darkening due to oxidation of sugar. Vegetables with a firm texture should be
blanched for about 2 minutes in hot water before dehydrating them. In a small dis-
tance, put the foodstuffs side by side on the slide compartment. Select a distance
to allow sufficient air to circulate. Do not place the foodstuffs on top of each other.

OPERATION

Prepare the foodstuffs to be dried.
●
IMPORTANT!
The thinner the foodstuffs were cut, the better they can dry. We recommend
that you cut foodstuffs such as apples, lemons, oranges et cetera using our uni-
versal cutter. That way you will get even and thin slices. For smaller and thinner
foodstuffs, we additionally recommend that you use the MiniSlice attachment.
Using that unit, you can cut open mushrooms, tomatoes, strawberries, cucum-
bers, carrots et cetera extremely thin and evenly.
Take the trays out of the unit using oven clothes and put the foodstuffs to be
●
dried on the trays.
Use the entire space of the trays, but make sure that there is sufficient space
●
between the individual foodstuffs for air circulation. Overlapping of the food-
stuffs impedes the dehydrating process.
Using both hands, slide the trays back into the unit.
●
Switch on the temperature and the timer.
