HELPFUL TIPS:
1. Do not place shoes on drying tubes if they are dripping wet as they may drain water on the power
cord, creating a potential hazard. Remove as much water as possible before placing on the DryGuy™
Thermanator™drying tubes.
2. When placing gloves, mittens, children’s boots or shoes onto the drying tubes, be sure not to block or
pinch air circulation.
3. We recommend all footwear be dried after every use to help prevent bacteria and fungus which is, the
primary cause of odor.
4. Smaller footwear and garments will dry quicker than larger items.
