Always follow basic safety precautions when using your dehydrator.
Read all instructions.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
General Safety
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles.
• Be cautious when handling the back of
the dehydrator. This area will be hotter
than the rest of the dehydrator.
• Do not immerse cord, plug, or housing
in water or other liquid.
• Closely supervise children near the
dehydrator.
• Unplug when not in use, and before
cleaning. Allow to cool completely
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
(see page 12).
• 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 or removing trays if they
contain hot liquid.
• To disconnect, turn o the dehydrator,
then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Keep the dehydrator away from
flammable materials (curtains,
tablecloths, etc). Use on a flat, stable,
heat-resistant surface away from heat
sources and liquids.
• Do not store anything on top of your
dehydrator while in use.
• Do not clean housing with metal
scouring pads. Metal fragments can
break o the pad and touch electrical
parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
• Do not use where aerosol (spray)
products are being used.
• 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.
• Avoid contact with moving parts. Never
place any object into the openings in the
screen protecting the dehydrator fan.
• Only use the dehydrator as directed in
this manual.
• Not for commercial use. Household use
only.

5
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 3-prong grounding
plug, and should only be used with 120V,
60Hz electrical systems in North America.
Always plug in to a grounded electrical
outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.
• Any extension cord must also be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• 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 (see page 3).

Your Cosori dehydrator features an automatic fan, which circulates warm air to evenly dry
food. The horizontal airflow dries food quickly. 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
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 liner.
2. Once the food is dehydrated, remove the tray and lift the tray liner out 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: This liner can be placed on the bottom of the dehydrator to catch any dripping
liquids, to make cleaning easier.
• Overheating is rare. If the dehydrator overheats, it will automatically shut down as a safety
feature, and will no longer turn on. Contact Customer Support (see page 12).
• 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.
• Use for foods that shrink when dried. This liner will prevent them from falling through tray
grates.
