This will help them retain their color whilethey dehydrate.4 F ruits and vegetables should be patted as dry as possible before being loaded intothe dehydrator.6 M ost fruits and vegetables take between 6 and 8 hours (at 135 F) to dehydrate.When trying a new food load, start checking doneness at 6 hours and monitoruntil it is cooked to your liking.7 T o maximize longevity, store dehydrated food at room temperature in an airtightcontainer for up to 2 weeks.8 W hen dehydrating meats and fish, it is recommended to Roast at 330 F for1 minute as a final step in order to fully pasteurize the food.9 For jerky, the longer you dehydrate it, the crispier it will be.5 L ay raw food flat on bottom of basket and crisper plate. Food should be placed closetogether to optimize space but individual pieces should not overlap or be stacked.8NINJA AIR FRYERninjakitchen.c p
