Cool Bed III™
By K&H Manufacturing
Please read all precautions and instructions before use.
Thank you for purchasing the Cool Bed III by K&H Manufacturing. The Cool Bed III should provide
years of soft, cool, gel like sleeping comfort for your dog. Please read all instructions before using this
product.
Step 1. Remove the Cool Bed III from the box. Locate the filler cap on the bed and open it by grasping the
base of the cap with one hand and the tab of the cap with the other. Pull the cap open. Flatten the Cool Bed
III and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the cool core interior to retain its shape as all air has been
removed for shipping.
Step 2. Place the Cool Bed III in the intended location with the cap side of the bed up for filling. Place a
towel under the filler cap end of the bed to absorb any accidentally spilled water. Using a calibrated
container with a pour spout, begin carefully filling the Cool Bed III with cool water. The bed will take the
following water quantities. Keep in mind, the more water used, the more cushioning and cooling
capabilities the bed will have. You can experiment for the optimal feel of the Cool Bed III. Ultimately
the recommended quantity of water for best cooling capabilities is as follows:
Small Cool Bed III: 1.85 gallons
Medium Cool Bed III: 3.25 gallons
Large Cool Bed III: 6.75 gallons
The water in the Cool Bed III should be around 15%-20% deeper than the Cool Core. What this
means is that the Cool Bed III empty is around 1 inch thick. After filling and expelling the air, the bed
should be a minimum of 1 3/16 inches thick. This extra water circulating through the Cool Core’s channels
will provide incredible cooling power.
Step 3. Now that you have your Cool Bed III filled, close the filler cap and begin to knead the bed to help
work the water into the Cool Core. Now pull open the air adjustment valve and gently work as much air out
as you can, using sweeping motions across the Cool Bed III with your hands. Sweep the air towards the
valve allowing the air to expel from the bed. Seal the valve when most of the air has been removed. You
will feel how comfortable the bed will be at this point. The bed should feel very soft and spongy and you
should feel water squishing around inside the bed. Now decide if a little more water is desirable or if it’s
just right for your pet. Add water if necessary, repeating the air removal process. Note: A little air inside
the bed will not affect the cooling capabilities of the Cool Bed III. If you choose, you may expel air as
needed though not necessary.
Step 4. Your bed is now ready to be turned over and used by your pet. To turn the bed over, grasp the
edges of the bed with both hands and roll the bed over. Be careful as the bed may be heavy. You may then
grasp the edges of the bed to slide it on the floor for exact positioning.
How to empty your Cool Bed III:
1) Open the filler cap.
2) Roll bed from opposite end, expelling water out of the cap. (much like rolling a sleeping bag)
3) Store with filler cap open.
