Using as a COLD Water Bottle
Your
Hot Water Bottle
is just as effective as a
Cold Water Bottle
for times when you
need to cool part of your body, perhaps for a sprain etc. its also much less messy than a
bag of frozen peas! Proceed as follows:
1. Take the
Hot Water Bottle
out of the cover (to prevent the cover sticking to the Freezer).
2. Fill the
Bottle
to between 1/2 - 2/3 full, squeeze out the air and replace the stopper.
3. Place the
Hot Water Bottle
in the freezer for 4 hours.
4. With the water in the
Bottle
frozen it may be difficult to replace the
Cover
so if you
do have trouble we recommend just wrapping it in a Tea Towel or similar for use.
WARNING:
When the Hot Water Bottle is frozen avoid contact with your bare skin
as there is a possibility of “frost burns”. Always handle with a cloth or gloves and
keep covered in use.
5. The
Bottle
should provide good cooling for in excess of one hour.
6. When you have finished using the bottle as a
Cold Water Bottle
, empty and store as
described in the
Storing Your Hot Water Bottle
section.
Cleaning your Hot Water Bottle
1. Remove the
Cover
from the
Hot Water Bottle.
2. Machine wash the
Covers
under
40°C.
When completed they can be dried in the
normal way on a washing line or similar.
