• 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 might 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.
