Use of attachments not recommended or sold by DryGuy™ may result in a risk or fire, ÜÚ
electric shock, or injury to persons.
To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, never jerk or yank cord to disconnect ÜÚ
from outlet; pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting unit.
Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise ÜÚ
subjected to damage or stress
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper ÜÚ
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 ÜÚ
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 let-
ters “W” or “WA” on the cord jacket indicate that the cord is suitable for outdoor use.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety, ÜÚ
and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number 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 leas the minimum wire size.
DryGuy™ Transporter™ has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as ÜÚ
required by Underwriters Laboratories. 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.

Helpful Tips:
When drying boots, shoes, gloves, mittens and/or children’s boots and shoes be sure not 1.
to pinch off air circulation. Open garments completely to allow maximum air exchange.
We recommend drying footwear after every use to help prevent bacteria and fungus 2.
growth. The primary cause of shoe odor.
Smaller footwear and garments will dry quicker than larger items.3.
Your new energy efficient DryGuy™ Transporter™ heats to a gentle temperature of 4.
roughly 100° Fahrenheit and uses “Forced Air” technology to gently and quickly dry
wet garments. There is not, however, a forceful air stream which might possibly dam-
age sensitive garments. At first you may actually assume the unit is not operating and
we recommend placing the back of your hand near the drying nozzles to better feel the
gently warmed air stream.
Operation Time:
2 to 6 hours – avoid over-drying!ÜÚ
Drying time varies depending upon extent of moisture, temperature, humidity, size of foot-ÜÚ
wear and garments.
We typically recommend a minimum of one hour drying time every time your boots are used.ÜÚ
While in operation, the unit although relatively quiet, produces minimal noise. This is a ÜÚ
normal condition and does not indicate a problem.
Maintenance:
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the DryGuy™ Transporter™. Never let any liquid
get inside the motor; never immerse any part of the motor into liquid.
