USING THE TOWEL WARMER

The Towel Warmer can comfortably warm up two large cotton bath towels or a personal throw blanket.

1. Insert the power cord into an electrical outlet.
2. Open the LID and place ONLY DRY towel(s) or blanket inside.
3. NOTE: Placing damp or wet towels inside the towel warmer can damage the unit and pose serious safety risks.
4. Close the LID.
5. Press the ON/OFF BUTTON. The LED ring will turn red, indicating that the unit is heating.
6. When the temperature of the INTERIOR SURFACE exceeds 122°F / 50°C, the HOT SURFACE INDICATOR will light up. When lit, the INTERIOR SURFACE of the Towel Warmer is unsafe to touch.
7. 15 minutes is typically sufficient for heating 2 bath towels.
8. Note: The Towel Warmer could reach approximately 266°F / 130°C and remain hot for the duration of the heating cycle.
9. Open LID to remove towel(s) or blanket.
10. Note: To avoid damage to the unit, gently raise the lid when removing items.

12. The unit will automatically turn off after 60 minutes.
13. After the heating cycle is complete, the interior surface of the Towel Warmer will remain dangerous to touch until the HOT SURFACE INDICATOR turns off.

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

1. Use cotton or cotton blend towels or fabrics.
2. For fast and even heating, loosely pile 1 towel into the Towel Warmer. Tightly rolled or folded towels will take longer to heat thoroughly. Two towels will take longer to heat than one.
3. Use only with DRY fabrics.
4. NOTE: Do NOT use with damp or wet articles.
5. Avoid using delicate fabrics that cannot withstand high heat. Any fabric indicating that a cool iron must be used may not be able to withstand the heat of the towel warmer, resulting in damage to the fabric and the Towel Warmer.
6. Once the heating cycle has begun, keep the lid closed. This will prevent heat from escaping. Opening the lid mid-cycle may result in slower heating times.
7. NOTE: Condensation on the lid and interior of the unit is normal.
