Tips for Best Results

• Use Cotton or Cotton Blend Fabrics: For optimal performance, use cotton or cotton blend towels and fabrics.
• Loosely Pile One Towel: For fast and even heating, loosely pile one towel into the Towel Warmer. Two towels will take longer to heat.
• Use Only with Dry Fabrics: Do not use with damp or wet articles.
• Avoid Delicate Fabrics: Do not use delicate fabrics that cannot withstand high heat. Fabrics requiring a cool iron may be damaged by the heat of the Towel, potentially damaging both the fabric and the product.
• Keep the Lid Closed: Once the heating cycle has begun, keep the lid closed to prevent heat from escaping. Opening the lid may result in slower heating times. Condensation on the lid and interior is normal.
• Fragrance Disc Usage: When used with the Towel Warmer, the Fragrance Disc may warp over time.

Care and Maintenance

• Always remove the power cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
• Wipe the unit with a dry cloth only when it is cool to the touch.
