Setup
- Unpack the Pillow: Remove the Fillo Elite pillow from its integrated stuff sack.
- Locate the Valve: Find the micro-adjustable valve on the side of the pillow.
- Inflate: Open the valve by twisting it counter-clockwise. Inflate the pillow by blowing air into the valve. The pillow inflates quickly with just a few breaths.
- Adjust Firmness: Once inflated, close the valve by twisting it clockwise. For fine-tuning, press the small button on the valve to release small amounts of air until your desired firmness is achieved.

Operating
Once inflated to your preferred firmness, place the Fillo Elite pillow under your head for optimal support.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your Fillo Elite pillow.
- Cover Cleaning: The outer fabric cover is removable and machine-washable. Unzip the cover and remove the internal air cell. Wash the fabric cover in cold water on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
- Air Cell Cleaning: The internal air cell should not be machine washed. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting it into the cover.
- Storage: After use, deflate the pillow completely and store it in its integrated stuff sack. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting
- Pillow Not Holding Air:
- Ensure the micro-adjustable valve is fully closed after inflation.
- Check the air cell for any punctures or damage. If a leak is suspected, inflate the air cell and submerge it in water to locate bubbles, which indicate a leak.
- For significant leaks or damage, contact NEMO customer support for repair or replacement options.
- Discomfort or Incorrect Height:
- Adjust the firmness of the pillow by adding or releasing small amounts of air through the micro-adjustable valve until the desired comfort level and height are achieved.
