Turbo Dryer
The West Marine Turbo Dryer combats mold and mildew by reducing the amount of
moisture available for spores to grow and multiply. This is accomplished using a unique
dual action that utilizes both a low wattage heating element and a fan to circulate air.
Operating Instructions
Simply plug the unit into the appropriate outlet. Red LED indicates when unit is operating.
Make sure that airflow is not restricted. The heater has been designed for continuous
operation. Current draw is less than a 100 watt light bulb.
NOTE: The key to keeping any area free of moisture is proper ventilation.
CAUTION! Surface is hot, avoid contact.
WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the dryer.
Care and Maintenance
The Turbo Dryer requires very little maintenance. By following the instructions within this
manual the dryer will operate problem-free for years.
Unplug unit before cleaning. A vacuum can be used to clear the dryer of any dust build-up
and a dry cloth may be used to wipe the outer surface.
Do not attempt to open the unit to clean.
Specifications
120 Volts, 60Hz, 0.65A, 90 Watts
230 Volts, 50Hz, 0.33A, 90 Watts
Operation
An internal blower pulls cool, damp air in the bottom and releases warm dry air through the
top. Active air circulation technology raises the ambient
temperature above the dew point to control mold and
mildew. Designed for low cost continuous use.
The amount of water vapour air can hold (absolute
humidity) increases with temperature. The Turbo
Dryer low wattage heating element slightly warms the
room's air to keep the moisture suspended rather than
condensing on surfaces where mold spores can use it
to grow.
Secondly, the Turbo Dryer fan keeps a small amount
of air moving throughout the room to help prevent any
moisture from condensing on surfaces to again impede
the growth of mold spores.
