How to fill safely

1. Do not use boiling water. Let boiled water cool for at least 5 minutes before filling. Do not fill from the domestic hot water tap, as this can shorten the life of the bottle.
2. Do not overfill. Fill to a maximum of two-thirds, or to the level shown on the bottle's instructions.
3. Hold the bottle upright and gently squeeze out the remaining air before screwing in the stopper.
4. Make sure the stopper is screwed in securely. Turn the bottle upside down over a sink to check for leaks.
5. Always use the bottle inside its cover. Never place it directly against the skin.

Safety warnings

• Always follow the instructions supplied with the bottle.
• Test the temperature before use.
• Not suitable for babies, infants or young children, or for anyone unable to remove the bottle themselves, including people with reduced sensitivity to heat.
• Do not sit, lie or lean on the bottle, and do not use it with a heating pad or electric blanket.
• Empty it after use and store it away from heat and direct sunlight.
• Check the bottle regularly for wear, cracks, perishing or leaks, especially around the neck and stopper. If you notice any of these, stop using it and replace it.
• Most hot water bottles carry a date mark (often a "daisy wheel") that shows when they were made. Replace the bottle in line with the manufacturer's guidance, and straight away if it shows any signs of wear.
