Important Note:
This unit may feel very warm to sensitive skin. However, in order to fully
experience the therapeutic benefits of paraffin heat therapy, the wax
must be heated to a temperature between 123-131 degrees
Fahrenheit. This is the temperature utilized by the leading hospital
brand paraffin baths.
For proper application, quickly dip your hand into the melted
paraffin wax and remove immediately. This should be repeated
6-10 times. Never soak in the wax for more than 1-2 seconds.
If you are very sensitive to heat or feel that this appliance may not
be for you, please return this product to the place of purchase,
prior to use.
How to Set Up the ParaSpaPlus Unit
1. Remove all contents from packaging and check to make sure you
have all of the following components (See Figure 1) of the ParaSpa
paraffin bath:
• Paraffin bath tub
• 2 lbs. of Paraffin Wax
• 20 plastic liners
2. Place unit on a level and sturdy table or surface and lift the lid.
3. Make sure ParaSpa tub is empty and clean before putting wax into
tub.
4. Open the bags of paraffin wax and place wax in the tub. The unit is
designed to hold a maximum of
2.5 lbs.
of paraffin wax and a
minimum of 2 lbs. Always keep the level of paraffin wax filled to the
“MIN” level marked on the inside of the tub but not over the “MAX”
line.
5. Plug the unit into a 110V/120V A/C household outlet.
6. Move the blue button to the “ON” position. The large oval button
will glow red. The red light indicates that the melting cycle has
started and is not yet ready for use. See Fig. 2. (Approximate
melting time is 2 hours).
7.The oval button will change from red to green when the wax is ready
to use. Depress the oval button to open the lid. Never dip your
hand in the wax until the button has changed from red to green.
8. Move the blue button to the “OFF” position when finished using the
unit.
NOTE
:
NEVER dip your hand into the ParaSpa bath while the
LED light is red. This is the melt mode and will be too hot.
