Operating Instructions
Once prepared for hot or cold therapy, apply the wrap to your neck and shoulders.
- Application: Position the wrap comfortably around your neck and over your shoulders. The contoured shape and high collar are designed to stay secure.
- Aromatherapy: As the wrap warms, the natural herb blend (Lavender, Chamomile, Peppermint, Lemon Grass) will release a soothing aroma, enhancing relaxation.
- Duration: Use for periods of 15-20 minutes, or as comfortable. For heat therapy, the warmth typically lasts for a significant duration. For cold therapy, re-chill as needed.
- Weighted Comfort: The wrap is weighted to provide gentle pressure stimulation across your neck and shoulders, contributing to a calming effect.

Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your Sharper Image Neck & Shoulder Wrap.
- Cleaning: Spot clean only with a damp cloth. Do not submerge in water. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can damage the natural herb and grain filling.
- Drying: Allow to air dry completely before storing or reheating.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Keeping it in a sealed plastic bag can help preserve the aromatherapy scent and protect it from dust.
- Rejuvenation: The natural scent may diminish over time with repeated use.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Wrap is not warm enough. | Insufficient heating time. | Reheat in 30-second increments, ensuring total heating time does not exceed 3 minutes. Shake to distribute heat. |
| Wrap is too hot. | Overheated in microwave. | Allow to cool down before applying to skin. Reduce heating time for future uses. |
| Aromatherapy scent is weak. | Scent naturally diminishes over time. | This is normal. The therapeutic benefits of heat/cold remain. |
