IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, these basic safety precautions should always be followed. 1. Read all instructions. Save these instructions. 2. Do not touch hot surfaces. 3. To protect against electrical hazards do not immerse any part of the dehydrator, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
Carefully unpack the Excalibur. Check that all parts are included, including the 10 trays, 10 mesh screens, the separation panel, and the power cord. Take time to become familiar with the control panel and the functionality of the Excalibur before drying foods. We suggest pressing each button to check functionality and to understand the controls.
