IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Follow basic safety precautions when using the dehydrator.
Read all instructions.

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 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 11).
• 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 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.
• 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 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.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (CONT.)

Plug & Cord

• Do not let cord (or any extension cord) hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• This dehydrator should only be used with 220–240V, 50–60Hz electrical systems in Europe. Do not modify the plug in any way.
• Do not use with a 120V outlet.
• 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 2).

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.

Controls

• Press START/STOP to start or stop the dehydrator.
• Press TEMP/TIME once and use the + and – buttons to change the temperature.
• Press TEMP/TIME a second time and use the + and – buttons to change the time.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Setting Up

1. Remove all packaging from the dehydrator and its accessories. Make sure all package contents are included (see page 2).

2. Clean the housing, trays, and tray liners with a moistened 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 any temperature, 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 on a stable, level, heat- resistant surface.
• Depending on humidity in the air and 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 3.5 kg / 7.7 lb of food. Avoid overloading the trays or overlapping food. Close the dehydrator door.
   Note: To avoid scratching the inside of your dehydrator, insert the mesh screen 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 “00:00”.

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 (35°–75°C).
   Note: Temperature changes in 1°C 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 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 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.

Tray Liners
The dehydrator comes with 2 types of tray liners: 3 fruit roll sheets and 3 mesh screens.

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.

Fruit Roll Sheet

• 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 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 liner will prevent them from falling through tray grates.

Sounds

• To turn sounds on/off, wait for the display to show “00:00” 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 the dehydrator can no longer be used. Contact Customer Support (see page 11).

Tips

• Fruit and vegetables dried in the food 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, 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.
4. Clean the dehydrator housing with a damp cloth.
5. Dry all parts before storing or using the dehydrator.

Note: The trays are dishwasher safe. Do not wash the mesh screen or fruit roll sheet in a dishwasher.
