(1) is there an option for a soft ice insert or is the only option the hard one? &amp; (2) is there a site where I can download wash instructions?

Hello Kristy! Thank you for your interest in an A to P Total Joint Wrap. As of now, there is not a soft ice option. We have found that soft ice/gel does not stay cold as long as regular ice. We suggest that after you take your A to P Total Joint Wrap out of the freezer, wait about 5 to 10 minutes before putting it on. The ice will soften a bit and will conform comfortably around the knee. As for the wash instructions, they can be found at www.a-pwraps.com/faq. We hope this information helps! Thank you, A to P Total Knee Wraps

Yes, that is what I do. Being sprayed with freezing cold water certainly wakes you up but isn't necessarily comfortable. I just turn it to the "Clean Nozzle" feature until it warms up and then switch it to Bidet Mode. It only takes a couple of seconds.

I have put the insert in the dishwasher and it is still fine. I've had mine for a couple years now. It should be just fine as long as you dont use any high temp scrub on it in the dishwasher. Of course it is so easy to wash by hand as well. I hope this has helped. Auralee

Yep! I've washed mine 4 or 5 times now. It says to wash it alone. I don't know why, but I do. Cold, gentle and air-dry. Comes out great!

Hi Janice... I keep the water in the cleaner side if some left over from first cleaning. I use it later so it is cold and I've found itto work well... not sure if that is what manufacturer had in mind, but my experience shows it works. Perhaps mix in warm water and then let it cool???

Google, "instructions for take a ice tea maker". I am sure you will find the instructions there :D

I don't know that you can actually buy insert replacements at this point. However, I was reading some other website reviews of this product and someone suggested using rice to replace the insert. Not sure how well that would work, but it might be worth a try. Good luck!

No laundry instructions were attached. I recommend warm water and a Bounce sheet (or your softener preference). I use Tide with bleach alternative. Regular bleach would be a huge mistake with the multi colors.

It has a removable hard liner. It can be used with or without. The hard liner is one piece, so if removed, just the soft flexible portion remains. Using fake ice helps.

They have a 30 day guarantee where they will work with you. If you screw up the mold they only charge you a nominal fee for some more impression compound. I have both the soft and hard versions and it is very apparent that the soft does not last as long. However it is cheaper (especially if you order more than one at $50) and slightly more comfortable. If you don't feel comfortable spending all that money the soft guard is still an excellent choice that will last you at least six months.

Easiest thing to do. Just take some liquid soap on a soft cloth, rub n rinse with your hands. Voila !!

i cleaned mine before i used... but its hard to clean inside out cuz its got a screw inside that has black lubricant around it..whenever leftover ice drips to the bowl, i could see little bit of lubricant drips along with ice water. that is the cons. other than that i love it.

I bought the same machine and have used it a number of times but still had to refer to the book to see what part S700E was. I believe it is a small exterior bowl. That is a very small bowl placed underneath the spot where the slushed ice comes out after cubes are crushed. I'm not sure but I believe that small bowl is not part of the machine as supplied. I know it isn't--I didn't receive any but the booklet states that on page 11 by assembly instructions. I will type here the entire ASSEMBLY AND USE page (really not very long) and you can determine that for yourself. (That is Page 11 of the booklet with the machine.) I will type item 5 and 9. which refers to those parts. If you need the whole page (not really long, only 10 items are mentioned but it does refer to the page showing the figures, I could photocopy mine with the Parts/Diagram page included and send it to you. If you need that, advise and I can mail it to you. I am disabled and don't know how to use my scanner or I'd just scan it--my disability is my memory from brain surgery and major stroke.) No. 5 - Align and insert the exterior bowl (Fig AS700E) (small bowl under spout) , in drive gear. 9. Place an empty bowl (not supplied) on the base of the unit exterior bowl. I believe they are referring to the empty space below where the crushed ice is held here. It mentions Figure B 1 if you have the booklet. This bowl is used to collect the shaved ice. Very easy. A bowl to collect the ice is not furnished with the ice crusher but a flat-bottomed dessert or small cereal bowl works really good. That is all I used and I have lots of them. Good luck and I know you will enjoy this once you are used to it. It is simple to operate and to clean as well. Joan Collins

It comes with the insert. We just keep the whole thing in the freezer. Every so often we'll throw the wrap in the wash (we usually try to pull it out before the laundry hits the dryer) and rinse down the insert. It's good to know you can buy additional inserts as replacements or to keep one in the freezer and rotate them but not required.

Yes, in cold water with a mild detergent. I think it is necessary to air dry, though, so plan ahead for that. (wiping it with a dry towel will help speed the process)

I own the model before this one, and it came with a removable cover (similar to a pillow case) which was perfect for removing and cleaning! Can't believe they change that feature. With that said, I would simply recommend putting a blanket over it (flannel receiving blanket/swaddle blankets/anything similar) and then those can easily be removed and washed as needed. Actually, even owning the one with the removable cover, I still threw a light blanket over it. We just had so many little blankets, it was easy to cover it and then toss that in the wash and put on a new one the next day or as needed. I still highly recommend this item and buy it for all baby showers! Just wish they'd had kept the removable cover.

No instructions.. I would hand wash with something like gentle. Machines would wear it out.
