2.2 Preparing and Loading Food

Prepare your food by slicing it into uniform pieces. The dehydrator is equipped with 7 BPA-free trays. These trays can be rotated 180° to provide two adjustable heights, accommodating different food sizes.

Para thin slices of food, use the lower height setting (0.79 inches).
Para thick slices of food, rotate the trays 180° to use the higher height setting (1.26 inches).

Place food in a single layer on each tray, ensuring sufficient space for air circulation around each piece. Do not overload the trays.
