All internal parts capable of transmitting electric current
are grounded. Therefore, the electrical outlet to which
the unit is attached must be properly grounded.
Grounding reliability can only be achieved when the
equipment is connected to an equivalent receptacle
marked "Hospital Only" or "Hospital Grade". If there is
any question as to the electrical protection, a qualified
electrician should be consulted.
The table or cart must be level for proper and safe use.
Little Splint Compact Splint Pans are intended for use
only where the person utilizing the treatment is under
the supervision of trained personnel.
DO NOT operate the unit dry - always make sure to fill
with water before plugging in unit. If the pan is empty,
the heating element will burn out.
Treatment temperature must be monitored closely and,
of course, a patient's medical history must be reviewed,
as with any heat modality, for heat sensitivity and
circulatory problems.
Do not use the unit outdoors.
Carefully place splinting material inside reservoir to
avoid splashing onto skin or coming into contact with hot
water.
Do not reach into hot water with bare hands to remove
heated splint material. Use a grasping device, such as
tongs, to remove splint material from hot water.
Refer service and electrical problems to qualified
personnel and/ or Whitehall Manufacturing only.
Do not use if the unit, cord or plug has been damaged.
Return unit to Whitehall Manufacturing or a qualified
service center.
Do not use an electrical extension cord. Plug unit directly

question on the grounding of the receptacle, call an
electrician.
