Violet Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 You really don't need the one for the machine. Does it have a fan and adjustable thermostat and heat source ? You need those to dry the food fast enough before it molds or spoils. If not, you will not be able to safely dry jerky on it. Here is a downloadable copy of the booklet we sell. It is really nice. It doesn't have info about drying jerky, but we can send it later. No ground meats are safe to dry, not even in jerky form. Only highly salted, solid, lean meats are safe to dehydrate. http://info.ag.uidaho.edu/Resources/PDFs/PNW0397.pdf Link to comment

Violet Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 This is odd, I posted a reply to you last night about the dehydrator. I will see if I can find it first, before I repeat myself. Link to comment

Violet Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I sent you a link to a free downloadable booklet. You don't need the specific manual for a dehydrator. If yours doesn't have a fan, a heat source, and adjustable thermostat, take it back and get your $2. Sorry, they are not good to use if that is the type it is.. We don't recommend their use since the foods can mold or spoil before they dry, if that is the case. It would be really unsafe for jerky. http://info.ag.uidaho.edu/Resources/PDFs/PNW0397.pdf Link to comment

Cat Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 They're here, they're here... just scattered! We ARE trying to help!! I will merge another of your posts about it into this one, so if it looks "funny", that's why. I found it in the kitchen. Then there's another one tucked into this thread: http://mrssurvival.com/forums/index.php?sh...c=28576&hl= I have LOOKED AND LOOKED AND LOOKED all over the internet for exactly what you said it is, and all I can find is that Maytag used to make them, and they were good quality. I can't even find a picture of it. I think I saw every *OTHER* kind of dehydrator.... Link to comment
Violet Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I can't find anything on them, either. I tried to look high and low. Link to comment
PoGo Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 You can also contact Maytag directly. They have an 800 number, or an email option. http://www.maytag.com/support/contact_us.jsp Link to comment
