Is this it?  Sounds like a Deni, although it maybe a little older than this 
one.

My Snackmaster, and the book that came with it does have charts.

The Nesco website does have the manual for mine, which prolly has the charts

You can also try to find Deni's website.

>3.  Does it matter which trays I use for different types of foods?

only thing i have noticed is that some the smaller peppers might fall 
through mine, but it comes with inserts so I can still dry them.


Best of luck.
