Make sure your electrical system is suitable to the voltage of your boot dryer. Once the dryer is connected, switch on from plug, the device will begin to blow air. Place inside your boots for approximately 1 to 2 hours. If the boots/gloves are really wet, leave them for at least 3 to 4 hours. To switch it off, turn off the switch, then unplug the power cord and remove the appliance from the shoes.
