Click It Hot Packs: How They Work
To Activate Heat Pack:
Squeeze the metal coin located inside the hot pack until you hear a click! The liquid will begin to crystallize and heat up. To speed up crystallization, simply shake the pack until it is completely crystallized. Massage the pack for a few seconds to make it soft and pliable. Apply to desired area of your body.
To use cold: Place the pack in the refrigerator while still in liquid form until cool. DO NOT PLACE IN THE FREEZER. Freezing may cause damage to the pack. If placed in the freezer, after a certain amount of time, the extreme cold will activate the hot pack and once removed from the freezer, while it may appear to be frozen, it in fact needs to be boiled to return to its liquid state (leaving it out will not "un-freeze" it as it never actually froze in the first place.)

Boil your Click It Hot Pack
Place the hot pack into a non-stick pot or crock pot of boiling water
to melt the crystals back into liquid form. If you do not have a non-
stick pot then place a dish cloth on the bottom of the pot to prevent
the pack from possibly sticking or burning (alternatively, you can
wrap the hot pack in a cloth or towel).
Notice the Crystallized State of your Packs
Depending on the size of the pack or number of packs being boiled at the same time, it may take anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes to melt the crystals back to liquid form.
NOTE: If the crystals are not completely liquefied, they will re-crystallize and you will have to boil the whole pack again to be able to re use it. So it's best to just boil out all the crystals the first time. You can boil as many at a time as fit in your pot.

Boil until the Crystals Turn to a Clear Liquid Again
You will know it is done when the crystals have been liquefied and
the pack is completely clear. Remove the pack from pot. Allow pack
to cool and you can click it to activate its heat again anytime
thereafter.
