This mode dries foods with heat from the bake and the convection element. The heat is
circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. Dehydrating is used to dry and/or
preserve foods such as fruits, meats, vegetables and herbs. This mode holds an optimum
low temperature while circulating the heated air to slowly remove moisture. The oven can
be programmed for Dehydrating at any temperature between 100°F to 225°F with a default
temperature of 120°F.
Dehydrating Tips:
o Do not preheat the oven.
Multiple racks can be used simultaneously.
Drying times vary depending on the moisture and sugar content of the food, the size of
the pieces, the amount being dried and the humidity in the air.
Check food at the minimum drying time.
Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.
Consult a food preservation book or a library for additional information.
