Tips for using Polar Care Cold Therapy

• Use cubed or chunked ice for optimal performance.
• It is recommended to drain the Breg Cold Therapy Pad between uses. To drain the pad, hold the Cold Therapy Pad upright with the hose pointed toward the ground. Depress the black plunger and allow water to drain out of the pad.
• You may disconnect the Cold Therapy Pad from the unit without removing the pad from the affected area by depressing the silver tabs on the hose coupling and gently pulling the hoses apart. Breg Cold Therapy System and Pad will seal itself and will not leak.
  Note: Some dripping during release is normal.
• Do not run pump without water. The pump in this unit is designed to run with water.
Running the unit without water will cause permanent damage to the pump.
• Unplug unit before removing lid
