Safety Considerations
Do's
- When heating the wheat bag in a microwave, place a cup or bowl of water in with the wheat bag
- Only use the heat pack for direct application to the body
- Watch for over-use – an over-cooked odour, a smell of burning, smoking, or charring
- Leave to cool in a safe area and on a non-combustible surface, like a kitchen sink
- Always use a timer when heating in a conventional oven
- Ensure your microwave table turns freely when heating the bag
- For oven heating, place the wheat bag in a clean oven proof container. Do not cover
Don'ts
- Do not use wheat bags as bed warmers
- Do not use a gas oven to heat your wheat bag
- Do not over-heat (recommended maximum is three minutes for our wheat bags)
- Do not reheat the bag until it has completely cooled – this can be up to two hours after initial heating. The temperature of the wheat bag continues to increase for 3-5 minutes following being heated in a microwave.
- Do not leave the microwave unattended when heating a bag
- Do not store the wheat bag until it is cold
- Do not use the bag if you observe any problems
- Do not heat under a grill or using direct flame
- Do not allow the wheat to dry out as it could burn
Wheat bags are filled with organic British wheat. They are natural product and may feel damp when first heated. Please ensure you frequently re-hydrate the wheat by placing a small cup of water in the microwave next to the wheat bag and always heat for the recommended time.
Washing
- The cover of your wheat bag can be removed for washing. Wash in the machine at 30° or hand wash
- Avoid tumble drying or ironing directly onto the printed area of the cover
- Do not wash the calico inner containing the wheat
