Always follow basic safety precautions when using your dehydrator.
Read all instructions.
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 14).
• 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.

Power & 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.

Operation
USING YOUR DEHYDRATOR
1. Place food on trays. The trays can hold up to 1.1 lb (0.5 kg) of food. Place food on the bottom
tray first, and use the top tray last. Be careful not to overload the trays.
Note: The trays can be rotated to provide more spacing between each tray. [ Figure1.1 ]
Note: Use the dehydrator in a warm, dry room. Depending on humidity in the air and moisture
in the food, dehydration time may vary.
2. Plug in. The dehydrator will beep, and the display will show “88:88”. The dehydrator will
switch to standby mode after 3 seconds, and the display will show “--:--”.
3. Press TEMP/TIME to choose temperature. The temperature will blink on the display, and
the +and –buttons will light up. Use +or –to change the temperature (95°—165°F).
Note: Temperature changes in 1°F increments. Press and hold +or – to change the
temperature rapidly.
4. Press TEMP/TIME again to choose time. The time will blink on the display, and the +and –
buttons will light up. Use +or –to change the time (0:30–48:00).
Note: Time changes in 30 minute increments. Press and hold +or – to change the time rapidly.
5. Press START/STOP to start dehydrating. The dehydrator will start heating. START/STOP
will stay lit, and the other buttons will turn o. Temperature and time will cycle on the
display every 3 seconds.
Note: If you press START/STOP again to stop dehydration, the timer countdown will reset
and the dehydrator will go into standby mode.
6. Optionally, you can change the time and temperature at any time by pressing TEMP/TIME.
7. When the timer finishes, the display will show “End” and heat will turn o. The dehydrator

Overheat Protection
Tips
USING YOUR DEHYDRATOR (CONT.)
• 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 14).
• Fruit and vegetables dried in your food dehydrator will look dierent 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.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
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 before cleaning.
3. Soak trays in hot soapy water for easy
removal of food residue.
4. Use a soft brush to clean the trays.
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 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 2.1 ]
8. Set the base back upright and stack the
trays on top of the dehydrator as normal.
Figure 2.1
Note: Do not clean any part of the dehydrator with abrasive chemicals, as this
will damage the surface.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Possible Solution
The dehydrator will not turn
on, or the fan is not working.
Unplug the dehydrator and plug it in again.
The dehydrator may be damaged or malfunctioning.
Contact Customer Support (page 14).
“E1”, “E2”, or “E3” appears on
the display.
The dehydrator may be damaged or malfunctioning.
Contact Customer Support (page 14).
“E4” appears on the display.
The dehydrator is being used at a voltage that is too
high (such as 220–240V). Unplug and use at a voltage
of 120V, 60Hz.
Foods are dried unevenly.
Food placed in the lower trays will cook faster. Rotate
the trays every few hours.
Cut foods evenly to ensure that they all finish drying at
the same time.
Follow the recipes and tips in the Recipe Book.
