Please refer to the manufacturer's instruction card that is attached to your product for your own safety. At the time of writing, the instructions supplied are as follows:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• When filling this hot water bottle, do not use boiling water and fill to a maximum of two-thirds capacity or less.
• Do not overfill as this may cause the bottle to burst.
• Hold the bottle by the neck in an upright position and fill slowly to avoid hot water splashing back.
• Expel air from the bottle by lowering it carefully onto a flat surface until water appears at the opening.
• Screw the stopper sufficiently tight to ensure that there is no leakage. Finger tight should be adequate.
• Finally, make sure the funnel is empty.
• If there is a possibility that prolonged contact with the skin could occur, an adequate cover should be used to prevent burns.
• Under no circumstances should the hot water bottle be used as a cushion and be sat on.

WARNINGS

• Do not fill from water from the domestic hot water system as this can considerably shorten the life of the hot water bottle.
• Prevent contact with hot surfaces.
• Prevent contact with oil or grease.
• When not in use, drain completely and keep, with the stopper removed, in a cool, dry, dark place.
• Prevent exposure to sunlight.
• Do not place anything on top of the bottle during storage.
• Check the bottle and stopper for wear and damage prior to use.

Retain these instructions for future reference.

It is strongly recommended that children are supervised when using hot water bottles.
