Do not boil the glass hydration bottle.

When freezing, store the bottle in an upright position. Do not fill to the top. Leave a minimum of approximately 58 ml of open space from the neck of the bottle to allow for expansion and prevent glass breaking whilst frozen. See Care & Use instructions for details.
