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.
