How do you clean the bottom of a ronco food dehydrator?

To clean the bottom of a Ronco food dehydrator, first unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely. Remove the trays and wash them in warm, soapy water or place them in a dishwasher if they are dishwasher-safe. For the base, wipe it down with a damp cloth and a mild detergent, taking care not to get water into the heating element or fan. Dry thoroughly before reassembling the dehydrator.
