Make sure it is turned off. DO NOT try and turn it on until it is completely dry.

The best thing you can do is put it in an airing cupboard, or somewhere where dry heat is prevalent. If you live in hot climes, on a windowsill is a good idea.

The box of rice idea is pretty useless, in my opinion. Direct sunshine is far preferable I think.
