Wheat bag not heating evenly

Ensure the wheat bag is placed flat in the microwave and that your microwave's turntable is rotating correctly. Try repositioning the bag halfway through heating.

Wheat bag feels too hot or is overheating

Reduce the initial heating time. Always start with the minimum recommended time and add 30-second intervals as needed, checking the temperature frequently. Never exceed the recommended maximum heating time.

Wheat bag has an unusual smell after heating

Ensure the wheat bag is clean and that there are no food residues in the microwave. If the smell persists, it may indicate slight scorching; discontinue use if severe.
