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 the cord, plug, or housing in water or other liquids.
• Closely supervise children near the dehydrator.
• Unplug when not in use, and before cleaning. Allow to cool completely before putting on or taking off parts.
• Do not use the dehydrator if it is damaged, not working, or if the cord or plug is damaged. Contact Customer Support (see 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 or removing trays if they contain hot liquid, oil, or grease.
• To disconnect, press START/STOP to turn off the dehydrator, then remove the plug from the 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 the dehydrator while in use.
• Avoid contact with moving parts. Never place any object into the openings in the screen protecting the dehydrator fan.
• This dehydrator is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or a lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• This dehydrator is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
• Only use the dehydrator as directed in this manual.
• Not for commercial use. Household use only.

Care & Maintenance

• Do not clean housing with metal scouring pads. Metal fragments can break off 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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DEHYDRATOR

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.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Setting Up

1. Remove all packaging from the dehydrator and its accessories.
2. Clean the housing, trays, and tray liners with a damp cloth. Note: The trays are dishwasher-safe. Do not wash the mesh screen or fruit roll sheet in a dishwasher.
3. Place the dehydrator on a solid, level surface. Plug in. Place the trays inside the dehydrator.
4. Run the dehydrator for 30 minutes at 165°F, without adding any food. Make sure that the room has sufficient ventilation in case the dehydrator produces any smoke or smells. This is normal.
5. Rinse the trays with water. Dry all parts.

Note: You only need to do this the first time you use the dehydrator.

USING YOUR DEHYDRATOR

Operation

Note: Use the dehydrator in a warm, dry room, and place it on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface. Depending on the humidity in the air and the moisture in the food, dehydration times may vary.

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: To avoid scratching the inside of your dehydrator, insert the tray with the smooth side of the frame facing down (Figure 1.1).
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 + or – 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 the 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 off. 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 the heat will turn off. The dehydrator will beep 5 times, and the fan will stop.
8. Use a kitchen towel, heat-resistant glove, or oven mitt to handle the trays.

Note: The dehydrator will always remember your previous temperature and time settings.

Accessories

The dehydrator comes with 2 accessories, a fruit roll sheet and a mesh screen.

Fruit Roll Sheet

• 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.

Mesh Screen

• Use for foods that shrink when dried. This screen will prevent them from falling through the tray grates.

How to Use Accessories

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 helps remove sticky foods.

Sounds

• To turn sounds on or off, wait for the display to show “–:–” and press and hold + for 5 seconds until it beeps 1 time.

Overheat Protection

• 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).

Tips

• Fruit and vegetables dried in the dehydrator will look different 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 more tips on dehydrating foods.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Note: Do not clean any part of the dehydrator with abrasive chemicals or metal scouring pads, as this will damage the surface.

1. Unplug the dehydrator and allow it to cool before cleaning.
2. Soak trays in hot, soapy water for easy removal of food residue.
3. If needed, use a soft brush to clean. Note: The trays are dishwasher-safe. Do not wash the mesh screen or fruit roll sheet in a dishwasher.
4. Clean the dehydrator housing with a damp cloth.
5. Dry all parts before storing or using the dehydrator.
