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.- 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.- Do not fill using the water from a domestic hot water system as this can considerably shorten the life of the hot water bottle.- Prevent contact with hot surfaces.

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.- Stop using immediately at the first signs of wear, damage or perishing.- After filling, always check the bottle for any leaks carefully before use.- Using the bottle every day for prolonged periods of time can shorten its lifespan.- Only use the stopper provided with this bottle, using another stopper could potentially compromise the bottle's integrity.- When using a Cassandra back opening cover with this bottle, always place the opening of the cover face down if using in a bed. Always ensure that the cover is completely closed with the hook and loop fixings before use, to prevent the bottle becoming exposed.- Even when using the bottle with a cover you should take precautions not to have direct prolonged contact with the same area of skin.- Store out of reach of children.
