Chilipad Pro Laundering
- Disconnect the Chilipad Pro from the Hose Assembly.
- Bring the pad to the tub or shower. Hang the pad over a towel rod or the shower rod/door to let gravity aid in draining the pad most efficiently.
- Place the drain key in the pad’s connector(s) and drain all water from the pad. Remove drain key after water has been drained.
- Wash the pad in cold water, gentle cycle. Dry completely on a medium-temperature setting. Note: Disable the washing machine’s heat sensor to expedite drying.
Note: Check the mattress for signs of condensation and be sure the pad, protector, and mattress are dry. For better mattress protection, we recommend using a waterproof mattress protector under the Chilipad Pro.

- Add One Packet of Chilipad System Cleaner to the water reservoir, Power On the system, and continuously refill the reservoir with approximately one gallon of distilled water until the water Icon disappears permanently.
