What to do...

Directions for use:

  • Hold the hot water bottle around the neck in an upright position.
  • Twist open the stopper and carefully fill up the bottle two-thirds of capacity or less, with hot (not boiling) or warm water.
  • Expel air from the bottle by lowering it carefully onto a flat surface, Then, slowly press the sides of the water bottle, expelling air from the bottle. Do this until you see the water in the bottle rise to the opening of the bottle.
  • Screw the stopper sufficiently tight to ensure there is no leakage.
  • Check that the funnel is empty to prevent burns.
  • Use a cover to prevent burns
  • When not in use, drain completely and keep the stopper removed, in a cool, dry dark place with nothing on top of it.
