Product details
How to use
This hot water bottle is designed for partial filling only. When filling this hot water bottle do not use boiling water. Do not fill using water from the domestic hot water system as this can considerably shorten the life of the hot water bottle. Fill to a maximum of two thirds capacity or less. Do not overfil as this might cause the hot water bottle to burst.
- Hold the water bottle by the neck in an upright position and fill slowly to avoid hot water splashing back.
- Expel air by lowering carefully onto a flat surface until water appears at the opening.
- Screw the stopper sufficiently tight, in practice finger tight should be adequate.
- Finally make sure the funnel is empty.
Additional instructions on how to tighten the Boots hot water bottle stopper correctly
It has become apparent that a small number of users have experienced leaks during use of the Boots hot water bottle. We would like to reassure our customers that all our bottles are individually tested for faults and conform to the current British Standard 1970:2012, which is the global safety standard for hot water bottles.
To prevent the hot water bottle leaking during use it important that the stopper is tightened correctly. To close the stopper sufficiently tight the stopper should be turned until it cannot be turned further without the use of excessive force. Failure to do this can result in leaking from the stopper area during use.
How to tighten the stopper correctly
When the stopper is in position it reaches its biting point and the resistance on turning increases. At this point the stopper should not be considered sufficiently tight as it can leak during use. To secure the stopper properly to prevent leaks it is necessary to tighten the stopper until it comes to a complete stop and cannot be turned further without the use of excessive force.
