Place the Wheat Bag into the microwave; ensuring it does not obstruct the turntable. It is recommended that water is also placed in a separate container within the microwave when heating the Wheat Bag.
Heat for 2-3 minutes. Heating times are only a guideline and should be adjusted to suit personal requirements. Please read the recommended heating time that is stitched into the Wheat Bag and follow carefully. If the heat is not strong enough increase the heating time but do not exceed 150% of the instructed time
It is recommended that the Wheat Bag be completely cool before reheating. However if it has cooled and further heating is required it can be reheated for half the recommended time. If overheating occurs, a burning smell may be detected. Carefully place the Wheat Bag onto a non-combustible surface such as a kitchen sink. Allow to cool completely then discard.
Caution!!
If a burning smell is detected your Hottie Bag needs to be discarded. Carefully remove from the microwave, place on a non-combustible surface such as a sink or kitchen counter, and let the Bag completely cool and then discard. Grains over time will dry out and start to emit a cooked/burnt smell. This is letting you now that it is time to replace your Hottie Bag.
Fire can occur from an old over used Grain Bag that is continually over-heated. It is when this over-dried, over-heated Grain Bag is placed in a bed or under covers where the heat cannot dissipate that a fire may occur. These cases are very rare but caution should always be exercised. If in doubt – throw it out.
Storing
Make sure the Wheat Bag is completely cool and moisture free before storing in a cool dry place. It is recommended that the Wheat Bag be heated once a month for maintenance.
