Instrucións de funcionamento
1. Food Preparation
Proper food preparation is key to successful dehydration.
- Froitas: Wash, peel (if desired), core, and slice uniformly (approx. 0.5 cm thick). Some fruits like apples or bananas may benefit from pre-treatment (e.g., lemon juice dip) to prevent browning.
- Vexetais: Wash, trim, and slice uniformly. Blanching (briefly boiling then chilling) is recommended for most vegetables to preserve color and nutrients.
- Carne: Trim all fat. Slice thinly and uniformly. Marinating is optional. Ensure meat is fresh and handled hygienically.
- Herbas: Wash gently and pat dry. Leave whole or chop as desired.

2. Loading Trays
Arrange prepared food in a single layer on the drying trays. Do not overlap items, as this will hinder air circulation and lead to uneven drying. Leave a small space between pieces.
3. Setting Temperature and Timer
The PC-DR1116 features an electronic temperature control and timer for precise drying.
- Temperatura: Press the "TIME/TEMP" button to switch to temperature setting mode. Use the "+" and "-" buttons to adjust the temperature between 40°C and 70°C (104°F and 158°F). The display shows the selected temperature.
- Temporizador: Press the "TIME/TEMP" button again to switch to timer setting mode. Use the "+" and "-" buttons to set the drying time from 1 to 48 hours. The display shows the remaining time.
4. Starting and Monitoring
Once temperature and time are set, press the "START/PAUSE" button to begin the dehydration process. The fan and heating element will activate.
- Periodically check the food's progress. Drying times vary based on food type, thickness, and moisture content.
- For more even drying, you may rotate the trays periodically (e.g., move bottom trays to the top and vice versa).
5. Completion and Storage
When the drying cycle is complete, the appliance will automatically shut off. Unplug the dehydrator from the power outlet.
- Allow the dehydrated food to cool completely before storing.
- Store dried food in airtight containers in a cool, dark, and dry place to maintain freshness.
