Oven Modes Dehydrate Dehydrate dries foods with heat from a third element behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. Figure 13: Dehydrate Dehydrating is used to dry and/or preserve foods such as fruits, vegetables and herbs. This mode holds an optimum low temperature (120° F - 160° F) while circulating the heated air to slowly remove moisture. For Best Results: • Dry herbs at 120° F. Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140° F . (Refer to the dehydrate chart for examples). • Drying times vary depending on the moisture and sugar content of the food, the size of the pieces, the amount being dried and the humidity in the air. Check food at the minimum drying time. • Multiple racks can be used simultaneously. Contact your Bosch dealer for drying racks. • Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration. • Consult a food preservation book, county Cooperative Extension Office or library for additional information.
