Make sure to unplug your warmer when not in use
A towel warmer that plugs into your wall is not something that you’re going to want to leave plugged in all the time. It will continue to consume energy 24/7, and may even present a safety risk if it is left plugged in.
Do not overload the towel warmer
All towel warmers come with a recommended weight limit, and you are going to want to make sure that you are staying well within those restrictions. If you overload your towel warmer the results aren’t going to be as good, and you risk damaging the system.

Clean all of the towel warmer surfaces regularly

Keep your plugs and cords out of the way
