Instructions For Initial Use
1.
Carefully unpack your Splint-Form 1000. Retain original
packaging for any future transportation or servicing.
2.
Use a dry cloth or paper towel to wipe away the protective
oil coating from the metal surface.
3.
Add water (recommend 3" of water from bottom of pan).
Temperature Setting
1.
The Splint-Form 1000’s dial template is marked #1-10, to allow
the therapist to select and mark the desired temperature setting
for particular thermoplastic materials.
2.
To determine the proper setting, fill the pan until water level
measures at least 3"
(7.6cm)
from pan bottom. Plug in the cord
and turn the control dial clockwise from the “off" position. Place
a waterproof thermometer (i.e. NC70112) in the pan and turn
the control dial to #10. Adjust the control dial from this position
to achieve the desired heating requirements and mark the dial
template for future reference. Water temperature should be
between 140° and 160° F
(60° and 71° C)
. To turn off the pan, turn
the dial to the
off
position.
Electrical Installation
The Splint-Form 1000 is equipped with a 6 ft.
(1.8 m)
cord with
a three-prong electrical plug. It is designed to protect from
electrical shock should the internal wiring fail.
The plug must be plugged into a grounded, isolated three-
prong socket (15 AMP, 120 volt grounded outlet). Avoid
plugging into an extension cord or power strip.
Make certain
incoming voltage is the same as what the unit is rated for
.
Do not
cut or break off the large third prong on the plug, or
the protective system will not work.
CAUTION
Do not
submerge the product in water. Avoid splashing or
pouring water onto Splint-Form 1000 side panels or wiring.
Splint Form 1000 unit is to be used only with perforated insert
pan for thermoplastic heating.
Care and Cleaning
1.
The Splint-Form 1000 is intended to hold approximately twelve
quarts of water. Due to water loss during daily use, it is
recommended that the pan be refilled once a week. Mineral
deposit build-up on the sides and bottom of pan is normal.
To minimize deposit build-up, change the water weekly or use
distilled water.
2.
Prior to cleaning, unplug the unit and allow it to cool.
3.
To clean the pan, use one to two quarts of water and a low-
abrasion, bleach-free cleanser. Rub the metal surfaces with a non-
metallic, plastic scrub pad. Rinse pan thoroughly with hot water
after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid using steel wool or
scouring pads. To remove hard water mineral build-up, fill the
pan with one gallon of distilled vinegar and three gallons of water
after cleaning. Let the pan soak overnight and rinse thoroughly.
The perforated insert also may be soaked if needed.
Warranty and Repairs
1.
The Splint-Form 1000 has a one-year warranty from the date of
shipment covering the cost of pick up, repairs and return ship-
ment of a new replacement unit. North Coast is not responsible
for outside repair work or electrical modifications performed by
the customer or unauthorized technician.
Removing the bottom
cover from the pan to expose electrical components or any
alteration to the external or internal wiring voids the one
year warranty.

2.
A thirty day warranty is in effect following repairs authorized by
North Coast Medical. This warranty is from the date of the return
shipment to the customer.
3.
All repair work must be performed by a qualified service technician.
