Always follow basic safety precautions when using your dehydrator.
Read all instructions.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
General Safety
• Do not touch hot surfaces.
• Do not immerse cord, plug, or base in water or other liquid.
• Closely supervise children near the dehydrator.
• Unplug when not in use, and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking o
parts.
• Do not use dehydrator if it is damaged, not working, or if the cord or plug is damaged.
Contact Customer Support (page 13).
• Using third-party parts or accessories may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not place on a stove, near gas or electric burners, or in a heated oven.
• Be extremely cautious when moving the dehydrator if it contains hot liquids, and when
removing trays if they contain hot liquids.
• Do not clean base with metal scouring pads. Metal fragments can break o the pad and
touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
• Do not run the dehydrator for more than 48 hours at a time. After 48 hours, unplug and
allow to cool for 2 hours before using again.
• Do not allow liquids to drip into the vents in the base of the dehydrator.
• Not for commercial use. Household use only.
• Only use the dehydrator as directed in this manual.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (CONT.)
Plug and Cord
• Do not let cord (or any extension cord) hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch
hot surfaces.
• This dehydrator has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other), which fits into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
do not use the plug in that outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.
• This dehydrator uses a short power-supply cord to reduce the risk of entangling or tripping.
Use extension cords with care.
• The marked electrical rating of an extension cord should be at least as high as the rating of
the dehydrator (page 3).
• Your dehydrator should only be used with 120V, 60Hz electrical systems. Do not plug into
another type of outlet. If you try to use the dehydrator with a higher voltage, the display will
show an E4 error.

Your Cosori Dehydrator features an automatic fan, which circulates warm air to evenly dry
food. Dried foods are a great treat to snack on because they keep almost all their nutritional
value and flavor. Dehydrating is the perfect way to preserve snacks, fruit, vegetables, bread,
and even flowers.

Tray Liners
Overheat Protection
Tips
USING YOUR DEHYDRATOR (CONT.)
Your dehydrator comes with 2 tray liners: a fruit roll sheet and a mesh screen.
1. Place a tray liner on a dehydrator tray. Place food on the tray.
2. Once the food is dehydrated, lift the tray liner out of the tray, using the cutouts on the side of
the tray.
3. Remove food. Bending the screen is helpful for removing sticky foods.
• Use for making fruit rolls and strips from fresh, frozen, or canned fruit. You can also use this
liner for pouring purée onto a tray.
NOTE: Do not
allow any liquid to drip into the vents in the base of the dehydrator.
• Overheating is extremely rare. If the dehydrator overheats, it will automatically shut down as
a safety feature, and will no longer turn on. Contact Customer Support (page 13).
• Fruit and vegetables dried in your food dehydrator will look dierent from those sold in
stores. This is because homemade dried foods do not use preservatives, artificial coloring, or
artificial additives.
• Check out the Recipe Book for many more tips on dehydrating foods.
• Use for foods that shrink when dried. This liner will prevent them from falling through tray
grates, while allowing air circulation.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
ACCESSORIES
1. Unplug the dehydrator and allow it to
cool before cleaning.
2. If you used a recipe that left traces of
liquid or other residue, use paper towels
to wipe down the trays and tray liners
before cleaning.
3. Soak trays in hot, soapy water for easy
removal of food residue.
4. Use a soft brush to clean the trays and
tray liners.
NOTE: The trays can be washed in the
top rack of a dishwasher only if you
remove them before the drying cycle
starts. Do not wash the base, cover,
mesh screen, or fruit roll sheet in a
dishwasher. Do not immerse the base
in water.
5. Clean the surface of the dehydrator base
with a damp cloth.
6. Dry all parts before storing or using the
dehydrator.
7. When storing, turn the base upside
down and wrap the cord around the
center of the base. Secure the cord
under the clips. [
Figure 1.1
]
8. Set the base back upright and stack the
trays on top of the dehydrator as normal.
Figure 1.1
NOTE: Do not clean any part of the dehydrator with abrasive chemicals, as this
will damage the surface.
