Leave it by the space heater when possible for the next week. Seriously overdo it duration wise - but not temperature wise! The reason to do this is that its highly likely that there will be residual water inside. In contact with circuitry with voltage on it AND also just in contact with anything it may cause corrosion which can be self accelerating once it starts. Over over over drying is unlikely to hurt.
