Q: Can I dry my phone or other electronics?

When the light goes steady the cycle starts and the screen counts down. It beeps 6 times when it finishes.

What size bottles fit, and how do I place them?

Stand bottles with the openings facing up toward the UV-C lamp in the lid. Bottles should be no taller than 6.5 inches, and items should not be stacked on top of each other.
