PLEASE NOTE:
Not all microwaves are large enough to hold the largest double and triple Hot Cherry® pillows!
Check before attempting. Only 2 lb. pillows or smaller, will fit on small 10.5” turntables. Very important!
Turntables must rotate completely
Before Use:
Check
the wattage of your microwave. If you are not sure of the oven’s wattage, begin with lowest
setting and increase in small increments. Hot Cherry® pillows should be piping hot to be most effective, but be
careful, not to overheat!
Very Important:
Be sure that your pillow does not touch the microwave oven walls, and that it is centered to
allow for complete rotations of the turntable (with small ovens or larger pillows
––
wrap or fold over). Some
large pillows may be too big for small microwaves. All microwaves have hot spots, so if the microwave is also
used for food, be sure that all food particles are removed. Place a large paper towel on the turntable, or around
the pillow, to keep your Hot Cherry® therapeutic pillows clean.

first on lowest setting and increase in 30 second to 1-minute increments. Very important: microwave turntable

high temperature color bleeding.

no need to frequently wash the pillow. However, Hot Cherry® pillows can be washed in the washing machine,
