Instructions
To fill bottle, open lid and fill with clean water. Do not allow water level to go below the brass valve. If you are using medication in water, be sure it is thoroughly mixed and dissolved in water before filling the bottle as excess crystals or powder can become lodged in the drinking valve, causing it to leak.
After filling the bottle, gently actuate the valve stem with your finger until the water begins flowing from the valve.
During winter months, plug the cord into a 120 volt grounded receptacle. The heated bottle is thermostatically controlled to operate only when the water temperature falls below 35°F.
Check and refill bottle as needed. Clean at least twice per week.
Mounting the Heated Water Bottle on the Cage
Use the mounting spring to secure the bottle to your cage.
Locate the bottle at a height that your pet can easily reach. Do not put bottle where valve is close to the bedding as your pet will sometimes attempt to insert bedding into the drinking valve.
The bottle can be removed for refilling or cleaning by pulling the spring down and over the bottom of the bottle.
Maintenance
Clean bottle and lid with warm water and soap at least twice a week.
Do not immerse cord or put unit in the dishwasher.
If the drinking valve drips, the problem is most likely caused by a piece of sediment getting inside the valve. Press valve stem gently until sediment is dislodged.
Test for Operation
Unplug and empty water from bottle.
Place the bottle in freezer for 30 minutes.
Remove from the freezer and plug into outlet immediately.
After 5 minutes, place hand on the black cover on the back of the bottle. If the unit feels warm, then it is operating properly.
