Why a paraffin bath?
Paraffin baths are used to make cracked or brittle
skin smooth, supple and elastic again. They promote
the blood circulation of the skin and even help to
improve extremely dry skin.
The deep heat that is generated also feels very
pleasant.
The heat opens the pores of the skin, allowing the
active ingredients to penetrate more easily.
Before first use
1) Wipe the device with a damp cloth inside and
out to remove any dust residue left over from
transport. Dry it well so that there is no moisture
left in the appliance.
2) Place the appliance on a level and heat-resistant
surface. Also keep in mind that paraffin wax
splashes may drip onto the surface. The sur-
face should therefore be easy to clean.
Preparing the appliance
Once the appliance is set up on a suitable surface:
1) Remove the paraffin wax
from its packaging.
2) Put the paraffin wax into the inner bowl .
NOTE
► Add paraffin wax to the inner bowl until
at least the level of the MIN marking. Do not
exceed the MAX marking.
3) Insert the plug into a mains power socket.
The POWER indicator lamp illuminates.
4) Set the temperature control to "hot". The
HEAT control lamp illuminates in orange to
show that the appliance is heating up.
5) Close the lid .
After about 2.5 hours the paraffin wax has
melted.
WARNING – RISK OF INJURY!
Never dip your hands or any other body parts
into the paraffin wax
once the appliance has
heated up to "hot". Risk of burns!
6) When the paraffin wax has melted, remove
the lid .
7) Put the grille into the inner bowl and let
it sink to the bottom.
8) Turn back the temperature control until you
feel a noticeable resistance when turning and
the temperature control
is pointing to the
gap on the temperature scale.
9) Wait until the HEAT control lamp lights up
green. Now the paraffin wax has cooled to
around 60°C and has the ideal temperature
for application.
You can now start application.
Use of the appliance
NOTE
► Exterior influences such as the room tempera-
ture can affect the temperature of the paraffin
wax
. You should therefore test to see whether
the temperature is comfortable before each
application. To do this, place a little paraffin
wax
onto the inside of your wrist. If this
feels pleasant, you can keep the paraffin
wax at this temperature.
► If a skin forms on the paraffin wax , increase
the temperature slightly.
► If you wish to treat both hands at the same
time you will require the assistance of a sec-
ond person, since you cannot use your hands
with the layer of wax on them.
You can use the paraffin bath on your hands, feet
or elbows. The procedure is always the same. In
this manual, the application is described using the
example of the hands.
NOTE
► Depending on the condition of your hands,
we recommend treatment with the paraffin
bath about 1–2 times per month.
