IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS Always follow basic safety precautions when using your dehydrator. Read all instructions.

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 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.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DEHYDRATOR 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. Food Dehydrator Diagram A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H.
