How to Use the FD-1010 Dehydrator

The FD-1010 Gardenmaster Dehydrator is produced by the Nesco company. It uses a pressure system to dehydrate a variety of foods. This dehydrator can expand to hold up to 30 trays of food. It features a horizontal fan to help circulate the flavors and improve the taste of the food that is being dehydrated.

Step 1: Make sure the dehydrator and the trays are all clean and dry.

Step 2: Wash the fruits or vegetables you will be dehydrating. To do this, place the produce into a colander and run water of them.

Step 3: Place the produce onto the trays. Make sure the food is spaced evenly apart and not touching. The food should be arranged in a single layer on the tray. This will allow for adequate circulation.

Step 4: Stack each tray inside the base of the dehydrator and place the lid on top. Set the temperature of the machine to 130 to 140 degrees. This will allow the fruit and vegetables to keep their vitamins while being dehydrated.

Step 5: Remove the produce from the machine once it has finished the dehydration process.

Step 6: Store the food in an airtight container and keep it in a cool, dry place.
