D. Fill your waterbed, checking on it periodically, with warm water
to approximately one half inch below the top of the stand up safety
liner. Do not over fill the mattress. Shut off the water and remove
the hose.
E. Remove the air bubbles inside the mattress. Do this by
"pushing" them with a broomstick towards the valve which is
"popped-up". Remove all the bubbles or they will create a
"sloshing" sound. You will have to remove air bubbles again in
about three days and also occasionally thereafter.
F. Insert the plug and securely screw on the cap. Plug in your
temperature control system according to specific
manufacturer's instructions and turn the thermostat to 80 - 85.
Within 3 days, you can more accurately adjust up or down to
your personal comfort level.
G. This close up photo shows how to insert your cap and plug
without allowing air to get in the mattress and without allowing
water to spill out. Your cap and plug may be a one piece design.
Not separate as shown.
SPECIAL SECTION: DRAINING YOUR WATERBED
ALWAYS UNPLUG YOUR WATERBED HEATER BEFORE
DRAINING OR FILLING YOUR WATERBED!
A. First, unplug your heater. Next, insert your garden hose with
waterbed hose connector into the "popped-up" valve, as pictured.
(Note: Photos show the standard syphon pump. However, for best
results and ease of draining, we suggest you rent an electric pump
available at InnoMax. For instructions on draining using an electric
pump refer to Electric Pump Draining Instructions on page 14.)
B. Weigh down the area around the valve with a few heavy
objects, such as telephone books. This step will help prevent
air bubbles inside the mattress from getting in your garden hose
and stopping the siphoning action you will create.
C. Mount your drain pump to your closest faucet and attach your
garden hose. Make sure your fittings are tight. With the "bell
valve" in the "up" position, turn on the water to put more water
in the mattress. This step pushes the air in your hose into your
bed so you can create the continuous water siphon you need.
(If you don't have a drain pump, see Draining without a drain
pump further instructions.)
