Instructions for Operation and Care of Dickson Paraffin Baths

Stainless Steel Tank.

Paraffin and perspiration have

been known to have corrosive properties. All Dickson
paraffin baths are constructed with 22 gage 304 stainless
steel with a 2B finish, which will not corrode with heavy
use, and meets the highest standards in sanitizing.

Precise Temperature Control.

The DICKSON Baths

operate with a maximum temperature variation of plus or
minus 1°F (0.55°C). This insures a critical bath
temperature and the quickest possible formation of the
par

affin “glove” which is so essential to the paraffin

treatment,  as  it  quickly  protects  the  immersed  member
from burns, while allowing a great amount of heat input. In
other  words,  a  good  paraffin  bath  must  hold  the
temperature  precisely  so  the  solution  will  immediately
congeal  around  the  relatively  colder  member  when  it  is
immersed.

High Heat Warning Light.

Indicates the temperature of

the bath is higher than that considered safe and
comfortable for treatment.

Timed Melting or Sanitizing Temperature Circuit.

(Found  on  models  PB-104,  PB-105,  PB-107  only)  The
DICKSON  Bath  is  the  only  bath  having  a  timed  hi-heat
circuit.  This  simply  allows  the  melting  of  the  paraffin  or
sanitizing  to  take  place  unattended.  Also,  with  such  a
switch, the hi-heat cannot accid

entally be left in the “on”

position. Sanitizing is accomplished by the operator
turning the hi-heat circuit on for an hour at the end of the

day. When the timer returns to zero, the bath
automatically returns to treatment temperature, ready for
use the next morning.

Light Mahogany Molding.

(Found on models PB-104 &

PB-105  only)    These  hard  wood  moldings,  with  a  new
plastic  epoxy  finish,  insure  the  patient's  protection  from
the  heat  of  the  bath  and  surrounding  metal.  They  are
contoured and provide a comfortable, cool and safe rest
for the patient's arm or leg. They insulate the tank from the
atmosphere and thereby minimize heat conduction and do
contribute to the stability of the bath temperature. These
moldings, in slightly extending over the inside of the tank,
also serve as a splash guard or arrester.

Integrated Heating Elements.

The elements are an

integral part of the tank and provide an even flow of heat
with no dangerous hot spots. Also, in this regard for safety,
all DICKSON baths have a limit switch on both the hi-heat
and maintenance circuits which will automatically prohibit
runaway temperatures.

There are many other features, but, again, a most

important one is the renowned DICKSON quality with the
attendant trouble-free rugged construction.

DICKSON Institutional Bath models are shipped complete

with pure paraffin, Plexiglas bottom slats to keep contact
of appendages from resting directly on the bottom of the
unit (found on models PB-104 & PB-105 only), cover and
floating test thermometer. They are guaranteed for 1 year
against mechanical or electrical defects.
