GB DEHYDRATOR <strong>BHG</strong> <strong>601</strong> This appliance conforms to the EEC directive 89/336/EEC for radio interference level and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) as well as the low voltage directive 73/23 EEC. IMPORTANT SAFETY POINTS • The safety of BIELMEIER electric appliances conforms to the recognized technical rules and the law for the safety of appliances. Even so we would like to draw your attention and that of others with you to the following points: • Please read the instructions for use carefully before the first use and save them. • Connect the appliance to AC only - make sure the voltage corresponds to the markings on the appliance. • After use, before cleaning or if there is a problem during operation - always disconnect the plug from the power supply. • During operation the appliance becomes hot. • Children are not aware of the dangers resulting from handling an electric appliance, therefore they should never be left unattended with one. • Do not place the appliance on hot surfaces or operate it in the immediate vicinity of open fire. • During operation the appliance should stand free and must not be covered so that the air can pass through freely. • Never immerse the electric part of the appliance and the cord in water. • Operate the appliance in dry rooms only. • Disconnect the mains plug before removing the electrical part of the appliance. • In case of visible signs of damage to the appliance or the mains cable, the appliance should be examined by trained personnel or by the BIELMEIER customer service. • We are indemnified from liability for all damages that may arise if the appliance is used for purposes other than originally intended or if it has been used inappropriately. The basics of drying Drying and dehydrating are the oldest methods of conservation known to man. All food contains water in larger or smaller measure. By means of desiccation, water is withdrawn from food and with it the basis for rotting and mould as well as fermenting processes. By proper drying and storing the items will be preserved for years. By withdrawing water the aroma becomes concentrated and the dried items are often tastier. Vitamins, nutrients and minerals are not affected. Sulphur and other preserving substances are avoided. Even though you may already preserve by freezing or canning, drying will be a plus to your kitchen and palate. Drying in the kitchen oven often causes condensation because of its lack of air circulation; the dripping and sticking of the juices from the drying items make it hard to clean as it is not built for drying. The desiccating appliance Your new drying appliance works faster and more efficiently due to a physically robust system: The air flow, which is drawn in from above, is evenly heated by a special heater. This increases the moisture carrying capacity of the air and while it spreads over the different drying levels with slight pressure it withdraws moisture from the items.
GB Now the saturated air does not flow on through all the levels before leaving the appliance but leaves instead at each level. Therefore BIELMEIER desiccators contain no screens or wire trays but solid trays which are easy to clean. Crumbs and herbs cannot fall through. This system makes an even drying on all levels possible, no repositioning is necessary and the appliance can be left unattended until shortly before the drying time is up. The dried items need only to be checked visually and by handling just before the drying time has elapsed. Those with high standards will be able to sort the items and possibly dry some of them a little longer. Preparation • Before the first use and at the beginning of each drying season we recommend that the drying trays be rinsed. Do not scour! • Place the appliance in a place where it is not in the way during the whole desiccating process. During drying a pleasant aromatic, fruity or spicy odour can be present, depending on the items to be dried. • For safe and appetizing preserving all the items should be washed well. • Use only foods in good condition, any areas with blemishes should be removed. Fruit should be without cores. • Fruit should be ripe but not over-ripe. • Consult the table for individual preparation. • To avoid the natural browning of the cut surface you can dip the fruit briefly in a mixture (1 tablespoon lemon juice to 1 cup of water). Instead of lemon juice commercial vitamin C can be used. Then dab with paper towel. • Blanching is necessary for most vegetables (see tables). The vegetables that have been prepared are dipped into a pot with boiling water by means of a wire basket or strainer. The blanching period is reckoned from the time when the water comes to the boil again. • The drying results are more even if the items are cut into about equally big pieces. Thin slices dry quicker but remember that the pieces shrink considerably through drying. • For an approximate guideline you can figure about 500 grams (1 lb. 5 oz.) of fresh fruit or 200-300 grams (10-14 oz.) of fresh vegetables per tray, depending on variety. • We suggest to place pieces of fruit in an upright position closely together. Always place unpeeled fruit with the cut surface pointing upwards. Sliced fruit should be placed on the tray as overlapping scales like in fish, not flat. • Vegetables should only be placed in single layers, spaced evenly. • Herbs should be desiccated with care! If the smell is too intense the temperature has been set too high. The stems of herbs should be removed but they need not be chopped further. Leafy herbs should be turned during the desiccating process to avoid them sticking together. The levels should not be overfilled to allow the necessary air circulation. • Now fit the electric drying unit with the transparent lid on to the topmost tray. • Set slide switch to the position corresponding to the goods to be dehydrated (see table). • Plug in appliance. • Set timer to desired dehydration time. Desiccating time Desiccating time varies greatly according to the kind of items to be dried, their moisture content, ripeness and thickness, as well as the room air and the number of drying trays. If in doubt select a shorter drying time and conduct a visual and hand check towards the end of the drying period. This appliance evenly supplies all levels with drying air but differences in the items to be dried can cause uneven results. If you adhere to exacting standards you may want to check the items and allow the softer pieces to dry for another 1/2 hour to 1 hour. The goods that have been prepared should be desiccated immediately. The desiccating process should not be interrupted. Extended | 11
