You will need to find which distro you have and then continue from there. Most are fairly simple and if you get stuck either of the communities on the websites are extremely helpful.

Try www.manualsonline.com or www.fixit.com/guide. You can always contact the manufacturer for a manual.

I can hear the fan,but there is no heat

well, I'm guessing on the tag or label it shows something like this
120V ~ 60 hz 10.5 amps or
120V ~ 60 hz 10.5A or
120V ~ 60hz 11A (some manufactures round up if it falls into the same wire gauge)
120Volts ~ 60hz 1260w or
120Volts ~ 60HZ 1260 watt
120V stands for normal operating voltage
"~" means ac current
60 herzts stands for how many cycles


So if your unit shows only amps, it's really simple to figure out wattage


take the voltage shown, in my example it's 120, then multiply the amps, in my example it's 10.5. So 120 X 10.5 = 1260 watts

W = V * A

and vice versus, if it only show wattage and you needed to know what gauge wire you needed to run a receptical to operate it

AMPERAGE = VOLTS / WATTAGE

go to the yahoo search bar and type in manual for oster food dehydrator if you have a make and model on it it will make the search more accurate ..in most cases you can find an online manual in a PDF file format...hope this helps.
