Step 1: To boil your pack, fill a medium to large sufuria (metal pot) with enough water to com-
pletely cover the InstaWarmer, and heat until it begins to boil. Reduce heat. Step 2: Roll your
pack into thirds and carefully place into the boiling water. Step 3: Boil the pack. The length of
time needed to reset your pack by boiling is determined by your altitude. Please refer to the
image below to find the correct boiling time for your location.
Step 4: Stir the pack several times during the boiling process to ensure all of the warming
solution is heated, and that the pack does not stick to the sufuria (metal pot). Step 5: When
the pack has finished boiling, remove it from the water and check to make sure the entire
contents of the pack have become a clear liquid. If white crystals are observed, continue
boiling for another 5 minutes, then check again.
CAUTION: PACK WILL BE HOT, USE A
PLASTIC OR WOOD UTENSIL TO REMOVE IT FROM THE WATER.
Once the pack has
cooled to room temperature, you will see two distinct materials within the pack: 1) The clear
liquid phase-change material 2) The semi-solid thermal buffer that is an semi-transparent
white color. Step 6: Before use, the pack
MUST BE COOLED TO ROOM TEMPERATURE
.
Lay the boiled pack flat with the activator disk slightly lower than the rest of the pack (such as
off the edge of a counter or shelf). Once the pack feels room temperature to the touch (ap-
proximately 25°C), it is ready for use. Packs can be stored for up to 1 year, and used when
needed.
