Care & Maintenance Power & Cord
Electromagnetic Fields
(EMF)
• 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 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 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.
• Do not use with a 220–240V outlet.
The Cosori Dehydrator complies with
all standards regarding electromagnetic
fields (EMF). If handled properly and
according to the instructions in this
user manual, the appliance is safe
to use based on scientific evidence
available today. • This dehydrator uses a short power-
supply cord to reduce the risk of
entangling or tripping. Use extension
cords with care.
• If a longer extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of
the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance
(see page 3).
• The cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
• The cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Your Cosori Dehydrator features an automatic fan, which circulates warm air horizontally to
evenly and quickly dry food. Dried foods are a great treat to snack on because they keep most
of 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. Rearrange the trays
to fit thicker food items. The trays can
safely hold 7.7 lb / 3.5 kg of food. Avoid
overloading the trays or overlapping
food. Close the dehydrator door.
Note:
• Use the dehydrator in a warm, dry room, and
place on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
• Depending on humidity in the air and moisture
in the food, dehydration times may vary.
Note: Temperature changes in 1°F increments.
Press and hold +or –to change the temperature
rapidly.
Note: To avoid scratching the inside of your
dehydrator, insert the tray with the smooth side of
the frame facing down [Figure 1.1].
Note: Time changes in 30-minute increments.
Press and hold +or –to change the time rapidly.
Note: If you press START/STOP again to stop
dehydration, the timer countdown will reset and
the dehydrator will go into standby mode.

Tips
The dehydrator comes with 2 accessories:
a fruit roll sheet and a mesh screen.
• Use for making fruit rolls and strips from
fresh, frozen, or canned fruit. You can also
use this sheet for pouring purée onto a
tray.
• This sheet can also be placed on the
bottom of the dehydrator to catch any
dripping liquids, to make cleaning easier.
• Use for foods that shrink when dried.
This screen will prevent them from falling
through tray grates.
1. Place the accessory on a dehydrator tray.
Place food on the accessory.
2. Once the food is dehydrated, remove
the tray and lift the accessory out of the
tray.
3. Remove food. Bending the screen is
helpful for removing sticky foods.
• Overheating is rare. If the dehydrator
overheats, it will automatically shut down
as a safety featureand can no longer be
used. Contact Customer Support (see
page 13).
• To turn sounds on/o, wait for the display
to show “--:--” and press and hold +for 5
seconds until it beeps 1 time.
• Fruit and vegetables dried in the
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.

on dehydrating foods.
