SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
AReA Of Use:
• Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
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.
• Do NOT operate in standing water.
• Do NOT cut-off or restrict air circulation.
• Do NOT expose DryGuy
™
Circulator
™
to rain or snow.
• Do NOT place DryGuy
™
Circulator
™
against toe of the shoe or boot, leave one inch of free space.
• Use of attachments not recommended or sold by DryGuy
™
may result in a risk of fire, electric shock,
or injury to persons.
• To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting unit.
• Make sure the cord is positioned so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or other-wise subjected
to damage or stress.
• An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord
could result in a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Two-wire cords can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only round jacketed extension
cords 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 indicates that
the cord is suitable for outdoor use.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety and to 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 18 gauge wire size.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Plug the DryGuy
™
Circulator
™
into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical household outlets. Carefully
slide into footwear being cautious not to restrict or block air circulation.
2. 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.
3. Do NOT force the DryGuy
™
Circulator
™
into smaller footwear. The unit will work by leaving as much
opening at the entrance to footwear as attainable being careful not to restrict or block air flow by any
means.
4. Leave one inch of free space between DryGuy
™
Circulator
™
and the toe end of the shoe or boot.
helPfUl TIPs:
1. Make sure not to pinch or otherwise suffocate air circulation when placing unit into boots or shoes.
Loosen laces and pull footwear tongue outward to help open breathing space whenever possible.
2. Boots or shoes should be dried after every use to help prevent bacteria and fungus growth which is the
primary cause of footwear odor.
3. Smaller boots, shoes and garments will dry quicker than larger items.
4. Your energy efficient DryGuy
™
Circulator

heats to a gentle temperature and using Thermal Convection
technology quietly dries wet garments, but it does not generate a forced air movement. At first you may
suspect the unit is not operating properly. We recommend placing the unit into your shoe or boot for a
period of 15 to 20 minutes as the heat will be felt when unit is placed in footwear and in service.
5. NOT FOR USE IN GLOVES, SOCKS OR GARMENTS OTHER THAN BOOTS AND SHOES.
