Electrical safety: Rated 220–240V, 50–60Hz, with an SAA-certified plug per the supplier. Use it on a stable, heat-resistant surface with clear space around the vents and rear filter, don't cover it while running, keep the cord away from water and heat, and unplug before cleaning.

Food safety for jerky: Drying alone does not reliably kill bacteria in raw meat. Food-safety guidance (USDA FSIS) is to heat beef and other red meat to an internal temperature of 71°C, and poultry to 74°C, checked with a food thermometer (for example by steaming, oven-heating or simmering in the marinade), then dry at around 55–60°C until done. Use lean, fresh meat and keep it chilled until it goes in.

Storing dried food: Let food cool fully, then store it airtight (sealed jars, vacuum bags or zip bags with the air pressed out) in a cool, dry, dark place. Home-dried jerky keeps about 1–2 months at room temperature per USDA guidance; refrigerate or freeze for longer. Throw out anything that shows mould, moisture or an off smell.

Care: Let the unit cool before removing trays. Trays can go in the dishwasher (per supplier) or be washed in warm soapy water; wipe the body with a damp cloth and keep the rear filter clear of dust. Follow the user manual for full operating instructions.
