USE INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions carefully.

HOW TO FILL & USE YOUR COOL BED III™:

1. Remove the Cool Bed IIIT™ from the box. Locate the filler cap on the bed and open it by grasping the base of the cap with one hand and the tab of the cap with the other. Pull the cap open. See Figure a. Flatten the Cool Bed IIIT™ and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the cool core interior to retain its shape as all air has been removed for shipping.

2. Place the Cool Bed IIIT™ in the intended location with the cap side of the bed up for filling. Place a towel under the filler cap end of the bed to absorb any accidentally spilled water. Using a calibrated container with a pour spout, begin carefully filling the Cool Bed IIIT™ with cool water. See Figure b.
   The bed will take the following water quantities:

3. SMALL Cool Bed IIIT™: 1-1.5 gallons

4. MEDIUM Cool Bed IIIT™: 2-3 gallons

5. LARGE Cool Bed IIIM: 4-6 gallons
   Keep in mind, the more water used, the more cushioning and cooling capabilities the bed will have. You can experiment for the optimal feel of the Cool Bed III. Ultimately the recommended quantity of water for best cooling capabilities is as listed above.

6. Now that you have your Cool Bed IllIM tilled, close the filler cap and begin to knead the bed to help work the water into the Cool Core™. See Figure c. Now pull open the air adjustment valve and gently work as much air out as you can, using sweeping motions across the Cool Bed IIIT™ with your hands.
   Sweep the air towards the valve allowing the air to expel from the bed. Seal the valve when most of the air has been removed. You will feel how comfortable the bed will be at this point. The bed should feel very soft and spongy and you should feel water squishing around inside the bed. Now decide if a little more water is desirable or if it’s just right for your pet. Add water if necessary, repeating the air removal process. Note: A little air inside the bed will not affect the cooling capabilities of the Cool Bed IlI™. If you choose, you may expel air as needed though not necessary.

HOW TO EMPTY YOUR COOL BED III™:

1. Open the filler cap.
2. Roll bed from the opposite end, expelling water out of the cap. (Much like rolling a sleeping bag)
3. Store with filler cap open.

IMPORTANT TIPS & TRICKS:
MOVING YOUR COOL BED IIIT™:
Do not lift or move the bed by its corners as this will cause the foam core interior to separate from the sides. Fold the bed and wrap each arm around either end of the bed to move. (See Figures c & d)

CLEANING OR STORING :
Grapefruit Seed Extract is an all-natural, non-toxic antibacterial. Add it to the water when filling and place a few drops in before storing to help prevent bacterial growth.

HOW TO USE COOL BED III™:
The best results will be obtained when used in a shady area. When using outdoors, always place the Cool Bed III™ in a shady, cool spot, as this will maximize its heat wicking abilities. Be sure not to place the bed on sharp objects that could puncture the Cool Bed III™. Keeping the Cool Bed IIIT™ indoors overnight near air conditioning will super cool the bed for outdoor use the next morning. When using indoors, be sure to place the Cool Bed IIIT™ out of direct sunlight. The cooler the spot you place the Cool Bed III™, the better. An ideal place would be a cool tile, linoleum or concrete floor. An area with good air movement will also help keep the bed cooler. You will soon figure out the best location for your new Cool Bed IIIT™, and your pet will love you for it!

HOW DOES THE COOL BED IIIT™ WORK?
Unlike a fluffy dog bed that is designed to retain heat to keep a dog warm, the Cool Bed IIIT™ is designed to radiate heat back into the air or the floor surface to keep a dog cool. The water-saturated Cool CoreT™ inside the Cool Bed IIIT™absorbs the dog’s natural body temperature of 102° Fahrenheit and covers it to room temperature, which is normally well below the dog’s body temperature. The difference created between the room temperature and the dog’s body temperature is how the Cool Bed IIIT™ provides a cooler, refreshing surface for your dog. Even if it is 80°F in your house, the Cool Bed IIIT™ is 22° cooler than a dog’s 102° body temperature. The Cool Bed III™ provides a permanent, natural, “cool” spot for your dog, inside or outside in temperatures under 95° Fahrenheit without chemicals or electricity.
