Heating and Cooling
To heat:
Remove insert from cover. (Do not leave cover on because it will be too difficult to test the temperature of the insert.) Place insert on a clean plate (insert cannot be washed so keep as clean as possible). Place in microwave oven. Heat for 2 to 3 minutes — stop the microwave once or twice during the heating process to shake the insert. At the end of the 2 to 3 minutes, check temperature and shake insert. If required, continue to heat for 1 to 2 minutes more, again checking temperature and shaking insert as required. Place insert back into cover.

Caution:
If overheated, hot spots can occur. Letting the insert overheat in the microwave or repeatedly heating the insert within a short time frame can cause damage to the product or to the person using the product.
To cool:    Store in a freezer

Reaching through the open zipper, grab the farthest corner (if using one hand) or two corners (if using two hands), and pull right-side out. Grab both the insert and the cover or the ties may tear.
