INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a Tribest® Sedona® Combo Rawfood
Dehydrator. With the advanced Tribest Sedona Combo Rawfood Dehydrator, you can enjoy
the benefits of efficiently and conveniently dehydrating your favorite food and vegetables,
utilizing the latest in digital dehydration technology and the revolutionary Two-Stage Sequential
Temperature-Timer (TST). From apples to zucchini, breads to pâtés, and crackers to your
favorite jerky recipes, you can set the Sedona Combo to meet all your dehydrating needs.
The Tribest Sedona Combo introduces our latest innovation: the Two-Stage Sequential
Temperature-Timer (TST). The TST allows you to easily set the Tribest Sedona Combo to start
at a higher temperature, to kick-start the dehydration process. Then it automatically switches
to a lower temperature to finish off the job without raising the temperature of the food above
the desired level. The TST lowers the amount of time it takes to dehydrate your favorite raw
recipes without all the hassle.
The Tribest Sedona Combo is the advanced solution to dehydration - offering you all
the options you require to make the dehydration process as simple and as convenient
as possible. With the Tribest Sedona Combo, you have the control to set the timer for up
to 99 hours, or to use continuous mode for up to 150 hours of worry-free uninterrupted
operation. Because the Tribest Sedona Combo utilizes Dual Fan Technology, with its two
independent heating mechanisms, the heated air is evenly circulated and distributed for
uniform dehydration of your foods. The Dual Fan Technology allows you to save electricity
when you only want to dehydrate a smaller batch by switching off one of the independent
heating mechanisms. Dehydrate up to 9 trays of fruits and vegetables or divide the machine
into two 4-tray chambers for smaller batches of your favorite dehydrated recipes.
The Tribest Sedona Combo also offers you a convenient way to monitor your foods with
a see through glass window at the front of the unit. As an added convenience, there are
now two internal LED lights, which can be switched on to see inside the machine without
disrupting the dehydration process.
Be sure to carefully unpack your Tribest Sedona Combo and check that all of the parts are
included with your package. Also take the time to become familiar with the functions of the
unit before you begin dehydrating foods. It is a good idea to press each button to check their
functionality – making you aware of what each button controls. Nine trays have been included
with your machine to make your dehydrating experience easier and to enhance the versatility
of the food preparation capabilities.
We recommend that you wash all of the trays with warm water and a mild detergent before
you first use your Tribest Sedona Combo. Now you are ready to begin dehydrating with your
Tribest Sedona Combo. We hope you enjoy your new dehydrator, as it helps you better

preserve the nutrition of your favorite fruits and vegetables and helps you continue your
journey to better health.
Please take the time to thoroughly read through the entire operation manual for proper use
and care instructions. Following the instructions in this manual will ensure that your Tribest
Sedona Combo Rawfood Dehydrator operates optimally for the years to come.

SET-UP
1. Power Switch is used to turn on or off the Tribest Sedona Combo.
2. °F/°C button will enable you to select the temperature display mode (Fahrenheit or
Celcius).
NOTE: The default setting of Sedona Combo is in Celsius (°C). Once you set the machine
to Celsius or Fahrenheit, the Sedona Combo will remember your setting even after you
turn OFF the switch.
3. Temperature display is used for two separate functions:
• Setting Desired Temperature- During set up this display will be used to set the desired
temperature of the drying compartment.
NOTE: The condition of the inflowing air may adversely affect the actual compartment
temperature. The actual compartment temperature may read a +/- 5°C (9°F)
difference. The difference is registered by the thermal sensor, thus regulating the
heating mechanism activity.
• Temperature Display- Will display your desired temperature setting.
-The 2 icons on the left in the TEMP display indicate which of the two heating
mechanism is active at any given time.
-When the top left icon is lit, the top heating mechanism is active.
-When the bottom left icon is lit, the lower heating mechanism is active.
-When the two icons light up alternately, both heating mechanisms are active.
NOTE: While the temperature displayed by the Temperature Display is set to the desired
setting, the actual temperature in the drying chamber may fluctuate up to 5°C (41°F).
4. TIMER display will show the total number of hours set for each desired temperature.
This timer automatically counts down, showing the time remaining for dehydrating.
5. SET button has two functions:
• It enables you to set the temperature and the time.
-When initially setting the temperature, press the SET button once and the 3 digit of
the TEMP window will flash.
-When you press the SET button once more, the 2 digit TIMER window will flash.
• Once the temperature and the time is set, the SET button turns on two internal LED
lights while the machine is in operation.
1) Press the SET button once – While the TEMP window flashes, set the desired
temperature by using the 10 or 1 buttons to select your desired temperature.
10

2) When the TEMP window displays your desired temperature, press the SET button
again to finalize your temperature setting. Your desired temperature is now set up,
and the TIMER window will flash.
3) When the TIMER window flashes, set the desired hours by using the 10 or 1 buttons to
select the desired time, then press the SET button to finalize your choice.
NOTE:
• For faster and more accurate setting of the temperature and time, the Sedona Combo
has 2 separate buttons of 10 and 1. The buttons under the 10 represent increments of
ten, whereas the buttons under the 1 represent increments of one.
• You may set the dehydrating time up to 99 hours.
• The Sedona Combo has a continuous dehydration function which allows you to
continuously dehydrate for more than 99 hours. To enable this function, press and hold
the 10 up button until CO is displayed.
• The CO function will dehydrate for a maximum of 150 hours.
• The default setting for Fast Mode: 68°C (155°F) for 1 hour.
• The default setting for Raw Mode: 47°C (117°F) for 10 hours.
• The Sedona Combo will save your settings for next use even when you turn off the
dehydrator.
While the machine is operating, the SET button also turns on two internal LED lights so you
can see inside the machine without opening the door. While the machine is running, press
the SET button, and two small LED lights in the rear, turn on for up to 10 seconds, creating
a small beeping sound twice. The lights turn off automatically.
6. UP/DOWN (10,1) buttons are for setting the temperature or the hours for the timer-
one short press will change the number by 10 or 1, and when the button is pressed for
more than 1 second the number will continuously change.
7. TRAY button is used to select which compartment will be activated, which is indicated by
the lights to the right of the TRAY button.
• When the top light is lit GREEN, the upper compartment is activated.
• When the bottom light is lit GREEN, the lower compartment is activated.
• When both tray lights are lit, this indicates both upper and lower compartments are
activated for dehydrating.
You can choose to dehydrate up to 9 trays of foods by selecting both compartments or up
to 4 trays of food in either the upper half or the lower half of the unit in
order to conserve energy when dehydrating smaller quantities of food.
1) Insert the Closed Tray in the middle slot (just above the white indicators on both
right and left sides, where the trays slide in and out) to divide the Sedona Combo into
two 4 tray dehydrators.
2) Press the TRAY button to select which fan with heating coil will be active.
11

3) Load the trays into the chosen half of Sedona according to which fan with heating
coil is selected.
NOTE:
• The default setting of Sedona is whole (upper half + lower half).
• Since Sedona Combo is equipped with two independent fans with heating coils, the
Sedona Combo can be used to dehydrate food in the upper or lower half of the unit
when divided.
• The Sedona Combo will not remember your tray setting, and it will go back to whole
when you turn the Sedona Combo off.
• We recommend using the upper half only when drying up to 4 trays.
8. MODE button allows you to choose one of three settings. The lights to the right of the
MODE button indicate which mode is activated.
• When the top RED light is lit, only FAST mode is activated.
• When the bottom GREEN light is lit, only RAW mode is activated.
• When both the top RED and bottom GREEN light are lit, the Two-Stage Sequential
Temperature-Timer is activated (both FAST and RAW mode are activated).
The three settings:
1) FAST mode: The average internal temperature levels will be maintained at the indicated
temperature. As the heating element cycles on and off, internal temperature will rise
and fall. The indicated temperature is the average temperature maintained by the
Sedona Combo. (See chart on page 13).
2) RAW mode: Internal temperature will never go above the indicated temperature.
Indicated temperature is not the average temperature, indicated temperature is the
maximum temperature that the machine will go up to. This is useful for preserving
certain vital nutrients that can degrade at high temperatures. (See chart on page 13).
3) COMBO mode: Uses the Two-Stage Sequential Temperature-Timer to set the two
temperature/time settings. It starts at a higher temperature for a set time (FAST mode)
then automatically drops down to a lower temperature for a set amount of time.
• FAST mode: The first temperature setting and is set at a higher temperature to
encourage more initial dehydrating, less spoiling/fermenting of foods.
• RAW mode: The second temperature setting and is set at lower temperatures for
longer times.
9. START/PAUSE button is to restart or pause operation.
NOTE:
• While Tribest Sedona Combo is in operation, if you open the door, the power
supply to both the heating coil and the fan will be cut-off. Tribest Sedona Combo will
automatically restart as soon as the door is closed.
• You will hear a buzzing sound when the buttons are pressed, when the door is opened,
and when the assigned time is over.
• To change the temperature and/or operation hours while the Sedona Combo is running,

time has expired. Also, a beep will sound when the drying time has expired.
7. Turn the main switch OFF after dehydration has finished.
NOTE:
• Tribest Sedona Combo is designed to evenly distribute warm air from the rear to
the front of the unit. Depending on the climate and temperature of the air flowing
into the unit from the rear, there may be a slight difference in temperature between
the trays and inside the drying compartment.
• Because heat rises naturally, it is normal for the top trays to be exposed to more heat
than the trays in the center or on the bottom. For best results, rotate the trays periodically.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Clean the trays and tray sheets with a mild detergent under warm water after each use.
WARNING: The trays are NOT dishwasher safe.
2. To clean the main body, first unplug the machine and then clean with a wet towel. Do
not rinse the Sedona with water or submerge the machine in water.
3. For easier screen/tray cleaning – cover with wet paper towels and soak for a short while.
4. Make sure the trays and tray sheets are thoroughly dried before inserting them back
into the machine. Keep your machine and machine parts in a safe place out of reach
of children.
ABOUT DUAL FAN TECHNOLOGY
The Sedona is the first dehydrator to offer a total of 600 watts using two sets of 300-watt
independent fans, two heating coils, and two digital thermostats grouped together to form
two fan and heater sets which can be set to operate independently or simultaneously,
giving you the option to dehydrate up to nine trays of your favorite dehydrated recipes at
once. Because the Sedona can be set using only one fan and heater set with thermometer
(one fan with heating coil and digital thermometer), less energy is used when dehydrating
smaller batches of your favorite recipe, overall noise is reduced during operation, and
heated air is managed more accurately and distributed more evenly throughout the Sedona.
Each digital thermostat within each fan heater set monitors the current temperature
of each independent fan and heater set within its own compartment. These digital
thermostats are designed to improve the efficiency and overall quality of circulated air
during the dehydration process.

TIPS FOR DEHYDRATING
When dehydrating fruits, vegetables, nuts, or spices keep these tips in mind:
• Find foods in season, grown organically/locally (for more flavor, keeps prices down,
availability up.)
• Use crisp foods (fruits or vegetables), with no soft spots that discolor during dehydrating.
• Remove unwanted parts: stalks, cores, unwanted seeds, rinds that are not wanted, or
outside skins, peel if desired.
• Keep the slices the same size: this will help the dehydrating time stay the same as well.
• When using spice -e.g. BBQ or salty flavors – coat foods with something wet, sticky,
or oily to help the spices/flavorings adhere to the food. Olive oil, miso, liquid marinades,
or sweeteners like honey or agave work well.
• Store in airtight glass containers to keep the food dried longer.
• To re-hydrate, if you over dry, put a moist paper towel, add a lettuce leaf into the container,
or lightly mist the foods with water to re-hydrate back to the desired texture.
FRUITS:
• Fruit chips are tasty and a good way to save extra produce for camping, hiking, or for
later use.
• Use crisp fruits, or fruits not overly ripened for best results.
• Most fruits lose their sweetness when dehydrated-especially bananas, so putting a
desired spice (e.g. cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla) or sweetener (e.g. agave, stevia, or
maple syrup) on top can sweeten the finished food.
• Make sure to take remove cores, seeds, and other inedible parts (peels, etc.).
• When dehydrating larger pieces of produce (e.g. a small apple or pitted fruits), select
those of similar size to optimize dehydration.
GRAINS:
• For best results soak or sprout grains for two or three days before dehydrating.
• Grains can be sprouted and dried back in order to make a sprouted flour.
• Savory or sweet crackers and breads can be made by combining the grains with spices,
herbs, vegetables, dried fruits, or even the pulp from juices. The best part of making
these foods is that you can improvise. It is not like baking, where exact measurements are
necessary for success.
• Grain recipes are done best in the COMBO mode.
NUTS:
• Soak nuts initially in enough water to cover entirely, then add a splash of hydrogen
peroxide into the soaking water, and rinse thoroughly after 5 minutes (this gets rid of
unwanted mold.)

• Softer nuts, (e.g. cashews or pecans, hardly need any soaking) just the initial soak/rinse
(as mentioned above with hydrogen peroxide) to remove unwanted molds.
• The harder nuts (e.g. almonds, brazil nuts) need to be soaked for longer (between 6 –
12 hours), after the initial soaking/rinsing.
• Drying soaked nuts keeps them fresh longer, without the enzymes that coat the nuts
(that’s why nuts need rinsing) that inhibit/block digestion. They can take up to 48 hours
to fully dehydrate, depending on the size of the nut, the weather (more humidity takes
longer), and how long the nut has soaked.
• After a nut has been soaked and dried – it can be ground into a ‘flour’ and used in
other recipes.
SEEDS:
• Soak seeds to remove the coating that protects them from automatically sprouting into a
plant. If you want you can sprout some seeds (e.g. sunflower seeds)
• If you want to make a flour, soak and dry the seeds so that you can grind them.
• Soaked seeds combine well with all the foods (vegetables, fruits, nuts, or grains) in many
dehydrated recipes – they act as a thickener, as well as their own lovely flavors.
• Combine to make ‘cereals’ or granolas.
• The RAW mode is fine for solo seed snacks.
• For crackers/cereals/breads use the COMBO mode.
SPICES:
• When using fresh herbs, remove the stems and stalks or anything else inedible.
• Find, create your own combinations, or look at your favorite spice bottles and use that as
a guide.
• Dried spices are done best in the RAW mode.
VEGETABLES:
• Dried vegetables (e.g. carrots, corn, zucchini, mushrooms, etc.) can be great foods to
use for soups later in the year, when the food is out of season, or to take on camping/
hiking trips.
• Cut into uniform sizes/shapes when dehydrating.
• Take off skins, seeds, and other unwanted parts before dehydrating.
• Some vegetables (e.g. onions) get more spicy/hot flavored when dehydrated and some
get sweeter. Test different foods to see what happens to the foods you enjoy.
• Vegetable ‘chips’ are done best in the RAW mode.

NOTE: Let yourself explore other dried fruits to make different flavored ‘leathers’ – apricot
on it’s own is heavenly (use sulfur free dried Turkish apricots). Banana helps ‘bind’ the
leather together, as well as other sweet fruits like raisins, currents or dates.
Fruit Chips
• Choose from the fruits in season, that grow locally in your area, and / or the ones you
want to store / save for later:
-Bananas
-Apples
-Tomatoes
-Plums
-Papaya
-Pineapple
-Apricots
-Cherries
• Possible marinades / sweeteners/ spices:
-Agave nectar
-Cinnamon
-Sea salt
-Maple syrup
-Orange juice
-Lemon juice
-Pineapple juice
-Tangerine juice
-Dates
-Pumpkin pie spice
-21 seasoning salute (from Trader Joes)
-Soy sauce (especially good on tomatoes) – Nama Shoyu or low Sodium, wheat
free San-J Soy Sauce
• Fruit concentrates:
-Black Cherry
-Pomegranate
-Orange
-Pineapple
-Cranberry
-Elderberry
Instructions:
1. Clean fruit(s), take off skin, where appropriate (e.g. bananas, papaya, pineapple), and
take out pits (e.g. plums, apricots, cherries, etc.) and cut/make into thin slices.
2. Put fruit into a bowl and coat/cover with desired marinades/sweetener(s)/spice(s) –
or leave as is.
3. Place on dehydrator trays (screens only) and dehydrate at 110°F (43°C), in RAW mode,
until dried to desired consistency. Check after 2, 4, 8 hours – depending on fruit, and
where you live.
NOTE:
• Certain fruits do not taste sweeter when dehydrated, (e.g. banana chips or papaya). Others
taste sweeter, (e.g. apples and apricots). That is why marinades/sweeteners/spices
are suggested here to coat/cover the fruit – to enhance their flavor when dried.
• Try different combinations, different spices, and seasonings.
• The thicker the slices, the longer the dehydrating time – therefore there is no ‘set’ time
for dehydrating any fruit.
• How you like your fruit chips, crispy or chewy, will also contribute to the length of time
you dehydrate any fruit chip.

SNACKS
Sweet ‘n Salty Walnuts (RAW mode)
• 2 cups walnuts (soak for 5 minutes), add 1 Tbsp. Hydrogen peroxide to soaking water,
rinse thoroughly
• ¼ cup teriyaki sauce (your choice)
• honey (drizzle top of nuts )
• lightly salt to taste – sea salt preferred
Instructions:
1. Soak and rinse walnuts – toss in a bowl with the teriyaki sauce and put on a dehydrator
tray, lightly drizzle the top of each nut with honey, and lightly salt.
2. Dehydrate in RAW mode – pressing the set button, temperature at 115°F (46°C), for
6 – 9 hours (depending on how crunchy you want).
3. Delicious as a snack to munch on alone, or served with the Pecan Mousse
(sprinkled on top.)
Green (Kale) Chips (COMBO mode)
• 3 Cups green leaves (a mixture of, or just one kind of green: chard, dandelion, spinach,

- ¼ Cup fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
1. Mix marinade ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Take green leaves (stems off) and put into the marinade bowl – and massage marinade
into leaves – this softens the leaves and pushes the marinade into the leaves. This
dish can be eaten as is, without dehydrating.
3. Dehydrate on trays with screens, in COMBO mode, phase 1 set at 145 degrees for one
hour, phase 2 set at 110 degrees until crispy for 3 – 5 hours. (Check on crispness, a
after 3 hours, dehydrate longer if needed.)

SPICES
Choose the leaves of the spice(s) you want to dehydrate:
• Basil
• Dill
• Oregano
• Parsley
• Rosemary
• Thyme
• Sage
• Whatever spice you want dried
Instructions:
1. Chose the spice(s) you want to dehydrate. If you want to keep them separate, keep
each spice on different trays – if not, then put any/all the spices together, leaves only.
2. Dehydrate in RAW mode, at 110°F (43°C) until desired crispness.
3. When finished, pour spices off into a measuring cup – and then pour into a blender to
‘powder’ – or crush spice with a mortar and pistol to desired consistency.
4. Store in glass spice jars – or wide mouthed glass jars, label and date spice(s). Keep in
a dark, cool place.
NOTE:
• There are so many spice varieties you can make, the most popular are the Italian spice
blends, or Poultry spices – parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
• It is recommend that only the leaves be dried, but you can dehydrate the stems if desired.
The whole food/spice – with the exception of the woody stems of the rosemary and
thyme (and a few other) plants are too difficult to dry/digest.
POPULAR SPICE MIXTURES:
- Italian: oregano, thyme, basil
- Mexican: cilantro, onion, cumin
- Poultry: sage, thyme, rosemary, parsley
