ELECTRICAL SAFETY:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do NOT modify the
plug in any way.

should be used and we recommend that they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). If the extension
is to be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked for outdoor use can also
be used for indoor use. The letters “W” or “WA” on the cord jacket indicate that the cord is suitable for
outdoor use.

prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge numbers of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable; that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be sure each extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
WHAT IS HDT?
DryGuy™TurboDry™has an unique whisper quiet drying technology called HDT; Hybrid Drying Technology, a
patented Ram-Air ventilation system. HDT was developed utilizing Wind Science principles to blend Ram-Air
Induction with the thermal convection philosophy. Fresh air enters the Rear Air Intake, is forced over the
thermal heating elements with a powerful fan and vents warm air all throughout the toe box removing
wetness or warming chilly shoes or boots in a fraction of the time.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Plug the TurboDry™into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical household outlets OR any standard
12-Volt automotive receptacle using the proper power cord included.

circulation.
3. Do not trap, smother, pinch, or suffocate the air circulation into or out of footwear with clothing or any
other substance. This may cause overheating.
4. Do not force the TurboDry™into smaller footwear.
5. Leave as much opening at entrance to footwear as attainable being careful not to restrict or block air
owbyanymeans.
6. NOT FOR USE IN GLOVES, SOCKS, OR GARMENTS OTHER THAN SHOES AND BOOTS.
HELPFUL TIPS:
1. Make sure not to pinch or otherwise suffocate air circulation when placing unit into footwear. Loosen
laces and pull footwear tongue outward to help open breathing space whenever possible.
2. Footwear should be dried after every use to help prevent bacteria and fungus growth the primary
cause of footwear odor.
3. Smaller footwear and garments will dry quicker than larger items.
4. Your energy efficient TurboDry™heats to a gentle temperature and using “Forced Air” technology
quietly and quickly dries wet garments, but it does not generate a forceful air stream that might
possibly damage. At first you may suspect the unit is not operating properly. We recommend you place
the back of your hand near the drying holes so you are able to better feel the gently warmed air stream.
Heat will only be felt when unit is placed in footwear and in service.
