| Q: |
|
Can I run the Excalibur 24 hours a day? |
| A: |
|
Yes. It's made for production. During the harvest season, foods must be processed. Quickly to capture all the goodness and avoid spoilage. Drying day and night for months on end is common for an Excalibur. In fact, our Factory-Direct 3000 Series dehydrators have an optional 26-hour timer for added convenience during the busy harvest season. |

|
| Q: |
|
Will the timer turn off the dehydrator while I'm away for asleep? |
| A: |
|
Yes. That way, you don't have to babysit your dehydrator... just set it and forget it. We use a premium, motor-driven timer that keeps track of actual drying time even if the power should go off and on again. (Digital timers go back to "0".) |
