INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The Travel Dryer gets clothes dry whatever the weather by circulating warm air at 60°C or 90°C around them. The heater air outlet is efficient for drying small amounts of laundry, the timer can be set from 1 hour to 8 hours. The default drying time is 8 hours.
Placing garments on a coat-hanger helps to reduce creasing and the need for ironing. Plastic, wooden and metal hangers are all suitable. It’s also gentler on your clothes than tumble drying.
We highly recommend that laundry is spin-dried in your washing machine first – or that hand-washed items are well-wrung – to help keep drying times to a minimum and prevent excess water dripping onto your floor.

    you require.
