BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION

• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.

• Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the
toy before being charged.

• Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged
under adult supervision.

• Dierent types of batteries or new and used
batteries are not to be mixed.

• Batteries are to be inserted with the correct
polarity.

• Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the toy.

• The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or
rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

• Do not dispose of batteries in re. Battery may
explode or leak.

2. Fill with water as close to top edge as shown.

3. Carefully place in freezer so that it is level and will not fall
over and allow to freeze overnight.

NOTE: Before removing the Volcano from the freezer, be

sure to have all the ingredients for your eruption experi­ments ready.

4. After ice is completely frozen remove Volcano from freezer and
remove Ice Mold Plug.

5. To remove your ice volcano from the plastic mold, let it stand for 5
minutes. Gently tap the mold to release the ice volcano. If needed,
hold the Volcano as shown allowing warm water to run into and
over the TOP plastic surface ONLY. This will help release the ice
volcano to drop out of the mold.

6. Place ice volcano on the base and push the button to turn the
light on.

Eruption Experiments

Experiments can be messy. Be sure to lay down some newspaper in case of excess “lava” flow. With each
experiment, note the reaction when the ingredients are mixed. Which combination of ingredients works the
best? Experiment with additional eruption formulas by adding more drops of dish soap to see how the
“lava” erupts and flows differently.

Cleaning Fire (Earth) Volcano
DO NOT wash parts in dishwasher.

Carefully hand rinse the volcano
base avoiding excess water around
the ON/OFF switch and battery
compartment. Towel dry.

After each experiment, rinse the
volcano and run water down into
the central vent of the volcano to
clear away remaining eruption
ingredients.

Ice Volcano

To create another eruption, quickly
rinse the central vent of the volcano
with COLD water to clear away
remaining eruption ingredients.
