Troubleshooting
Pack does not get cold enough
Ensure the pack has been in the freezer for the recommended minimum duration (at least 1 hour). Check freezer temperature is set correctly.
Pack overheats when heated
When heating in boiling water, use a timer and do not exceed recommended times. When microwaving, use low heat settings and check frequently, ensuring it is not over-inflated or folded.
Pack leaks
