How to choose a dehydrator
Usable capacity depends not only on the number of levels but on the area of each tray and whether food fits in a single layer. Regular large batches need ten trays; five are enough for first recipes.
- The temperature range should cover 45 °C for herbs, 60 °C for fruit and vegetables and 65 °C for fish; WFD-K1000S adjusts 35–75 °C in 5 °C steps.
- A timer up to 24 hours means no watching the batch overnight; when finished WFD-K1000S shows END and beeps.
- Steel trays withstand meat and frequent washing; transparent trays show the process without opening the door.
- Horizontal airflow from the back wall dries more evenly than a flow from below.
- A fruit-leather sheet and a fine mesh for berries in the box save on accessories.
The WetAir range
WFD-K1000S has ten steel trays, 1100 W, a window and a 24-hour timer; WFD-K700BSS ten perforated trays with FAST and RAW modes; WFD-K650S is a compact steel cabinet with six trays.

Use and care
Cut food into even pieces, spread it in a single layer and keep the air openings clear. Put juicy foods lower so drips do not reach neighbouring trays. Wash and dry the trays completely after every use. Cool the finished food before packing and store it airtight.
Frequently asked questions
How long do apples take to dry?
The exact time depends on the variety, thickness and kitchen humidity; dry at 60 °C and check doneness after cooling: pliable slices with no moist spots.
Can I dry meat?
Yes, following the WetAir recipes: slices up to 6 mm, preheating to 71 °C (poultry 74 °C), then drying at 60 °C for 5–6 hours.
How do the trays differ?
Steel trays withstand meat and frequent washing, transparent ones show the process; fruit leather needs a solid sheet, berries and herbs a fine mesh.
