Never use a warmer before. how much water is needed? And do I have to put hot water or can I just pour tap water?

you really don't need water in it unless you use it to dilute the aroma oil in the tray on top. Sometimes I'll add a little water to the oil in the tray so I don't need a lot of oil, but other then that you just plug it in and there's a light bulb inside it that will warm the tray on top and will release the fragrance.

According to the manufacturer, "Heating of fragrant oil without the use of hot water is not recommended. Use no more than 10 drops of fragrant oil for every 1/4 cup of hot water." I don't measure the amount of water I use; I simply add a little hot water and then the oil. As the water evaporates, I add HOT water only (cold water might cause the glass to shatter, as the glass gets very hot). And then I add more oil because by the time the water evaporates, the oil has already burned out.

Just pour it in the open top. I unplug and pour out the water (on plants outside) twice a week and then wipe it down and just pour about a pitcher and a half in. If the weather is dry and the level goes down quickly, I just add a cup of water in between the total refills.

I usually just use hot tap water. Sometimes I've use water from the instant hot water tap (near boiling) but it's a little hard to handle and I can't tell that it makes any difference in taste at all.

I don't think hot water would work well in it. It's insulated with a rubber material. I'm not sure but I can imagine it melting? I would try a reusable microwavable heating pad instead.

I preheat the bottle first with hot tap water and let it set for a few moments. Afterwards, I drain out the tap water and add half hot tap water and half boiling water. This particular hot water bottle is extremely well made and seems to be able to handle very hot temperatures, however, I would not advise filling it completely with boiling water.

Pouring already hot water should be OK but I don't use it in the microwave..I prefer Pyrex for microwave use.

Warm, soapy water. The heating element may require vinegar if you use tap water.

Mine is full of water and on all the time, so I have instant hot water. It would be pointless to have to wait for 5 liters of water to heat.

I recommend using a hot-water boiler, and putting the boiling water in a coffee mug. Hold the trays with your thumb holding the circle piece, to submerge most of the tray into the hot water. You'll see the mouth piece turn pretty translucent and floppy/droopy.. this is when you put it in your mouth. don't worry you wont burn yourself when you put it in it's not that hot! Then suck really hard and use your fingers to press it around your mouth.. I got it the first time but maybe it takes a few times. Lastly, you can just cut off the circular tab and it will fit in your mouth much better. Hope that helps!

This is not a steam warmer that requires water. This is a crock pot:turn to low & it will keep your food warm.

Just use about 2 oz of hot tap water. Pour over grill and wipe with a thick cloth so you dont burn your self. You will have a spotless grille. DO NOT USE COLD WATER!!!!! I have had mine for 10 years now.

It says only hot tap water. On a couple of occasions I have heated the water a little more than that because the tap water just isn't hot enough in the bottle. I use mine on my lower back while laying in the recliner and it seems that my body heat keeps it slightly warm for a long time, even hours, but it's not enough warmth to be therapeutic. I don't fill it more than 1/3 full when doing that, though, as it's not comfortable to me when it has more water in it.

I bring water to boil in a large measuring bowl in the microwave and then pour immediately. I think it may be recommended to pour in 200 degree F water, but I never do and have never had a problem.

You do not use the water that goes directly in the warmer machine itself for the bottle. First, you prepare the bottle (either with breast milk or formula and water) then you put the bottle that is sealed and mixed into the warmer (which will also have water in it warming up).

I have 2 mug warmers at home, bought from dollar stores years ago. They are still working till now. I have always left a stainless mug of water on one of them 24/7 to have warm water always available when I need some (instead of using a thermos bottle). In the morning I use the other one to keep my coffee warm. I add cream and sugar to my coffee so after a while of warming the coffee, a film of cream forms on top. So I have to turn off the mug if I know I will not be needing the remaining coffee for a while. When I feel I'm ready for the rest of my coffee, I just turn on the mug warmer again, and in a few minutes, I have my coffee. I have 2 mug warmers at home, bought from dollar stores years ago.

I don't know about a warmer for the teapot. If you use very hot water in the teapot the water stays hot for at least an hour in the teapot.
