I need a manual for oster food dehydrator

Manualslib.com may have it.

Hello, Vickie -

Do you know the model of your House & Home Food Dehydrator?

Apparently the House & Home Model LD-1010 Food Dehydrator is the same as the Magic Chef Model LD-1010 Food Dehydrator. Also, I have seen information indicating the model LD-1010 is the same as (or very close to) model 469-1. Perhaps yours is a a model LD-1010

I have not yet found a PDF version (electronic, Adobe Acrobat Reader software) of an instruction manual for a House & Home food dehydrator or a Magic Chef food dehydrator, any model.

However, I have found directions (not the full manual) for using a Magic Chef food dehydrator here:
https://www.leaf.tv/articles/instructions-on-using-a-magic-chef-food-dehydrator/

I have found manuals for other similar food dehydrators (PDF documents), which may prove instructive:
http://pdf.lowes.com/operatingguides/1000317095_oper.pdf
and:
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/107232/Mr-Coffee-Fd5.html

Note: I also found a 1997 U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for a K-Tel Model LD-1010 food dehydrator:
https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/1997/cpsc-k-tel-international-usa-inc-announce-recall-to-replace-food-dehydrators

I have not been able to determine if the K-Tel product was manufactured by the same company which made the House & Home LD-1010 Food Dehydrator or the Magic Chef Model LD-1010 Food Dehydrator. However, I recommend you read the full recall notice and be watchful for any overheating when you use the dehydrator.

Note: If you eventually choose to dispose of the dehydrator, please do not toss it in the trash. Instead, make sure you send it to electronics recycling in your area.

Best wishes.

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

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

I need one also.

i could scan mine and email you a copy

i can scan mine and email you a copy if you want

I would think that any dehydrator information would work for you.
You just have to be sure the components are working (ie. fan and heating coil.) A dehydrator is pretty basic.
http://www.food-dehydrator.com/food-dehydrator/books.aspx here is a link for books on a site that sells the product.
You can find a lot of books at the library too.
This might also help, dont let the name fool you: http://www.astray.com/recipes/?show=Dehydrator%20general%20instructions
With some searching on line you will be able to find a lot of instructions and probably even ones for your specific dehydrator.
Look on forms about drying foods and ask for the basic instructions if you find you really need them after looking at the links above.
There might be someone willing to scan them and email them to you.
