Depth: 4.3cm • Red, blue, purple and cream, colours are mixed per inner carton. • Do not use boiling water when filling the hot water bottle. • Fill to maximum 2/3 with water at safe temperature. • 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 ensure the funnel is empty. • Hot water bottles can cause burns. Avoid prolonged direct contact with the skin. • Do not fill using water from the domestic water system as hard water can considerably shorten the life of the bottle. • Always ensure the hot water bottle is not too hot and doesn’t have any leakages before use. • When not in use, drain completely and keep, with the stopper removed, in a cool, dry and dark place. • Check the hot water bottle and stopper for wear and damage at regular intervals. • Prevent contact with hot surfaces. • Prevent contact with oil or grease. • Prevent exposure to sunlight. • Keep out of reach of children and babies. • Do not lie or sit on the hot water bottle. • Keep away from fire. • Avoid using the hot water bottle if there any signs of wear, damage or perishing. • This hot water bottle is made of natural rubber (latex) which may cause an allergic reaction.
