Operation & handling of the Infrared Food Dehydrator CI IR D5
Before the Infrared Food Dehydrator CI IR D5 can be put into operation, the switch on the back of the device must first be switched on. When the appliance is ready for use, the symbols on the control panel light up and the temperature and time display flash. Now the food dehydrator can be filled - a total of 5 slots are available. Depending on the height of the food to be dehydrated, the slots can also be removed if necessary. The Infrared Food Dehydrator CI IR D5 can now be operated in two modes using the clear control panel with central rotary switch in the middle:
Manual mode:
To set the drying time and temperature manually, manual mode is selected to the left of the rotary switch. To the right of the rotary switch is the knob for selecting the setting of the drying time and drying temperature. Both inputs are set by turning the central rotary switch. The drying process is then started by pressing the rotary knob. A drying time of 1 to 99 hours is available; the drying temperature can be set between 35 and 70 degrees. The drying process stops automatically when the set drying time has elapsed.
Automatic mode
In addition to the manual mode, an automatic program is also available, which automatically determines and sets the required time and temperature for the particular item to be dried using moisture detection sensors. To do this, select the auto mode to the left of the rotary knob and start the drying process by pressing the rotary switch. The drying process stops automatically when an appropriate degree of dryness is reached.
Hint: Unfortunately, the automatic program does not work in the raw food area.
Selection of sun or shade mode:
You can then choose whether you want to dry your dried goods with infrared waves, which is similar to drying with sunlight. Or, as with conventional dehydrators without infrared technology, you can choose to use the shadow mode - i. e. the dehydrated food is only dried with warm air. The switch for setting the sun and shade mode is located to the left of the central rotary switch with the inscription MODE. If the lamp shows a yellow light and the sun image is lit, the dehydrator is in sun mode. If the lamp shows a blue light and the cloud image is lit, the shade mode is activated. While the appliance is in operation, the mode can be changed by pressing the MODE key.
Stopping the food dehydrator during operation
The drying process can be stopped at any time by pressing the central rotary switch.
Remove dehydrated material
Since the trays can still be very hot, it is best to use the supplied silicone gloves when removing them.

Cleaning the Infrared Food Dehydrator CI IR D5

The interior and exterior of the appliance can be cleaned with a damp cloth and, if necessary, treated with a mild detergent.
