How to Set Up the ParaSpaPlus Unit
- 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 bathtub• 2 lbs. of Paraffin Wax• 20 plastic liners
- Place the unit on a level and sturdy table or surface and lift the lid.
- Make sure the Para Spa tub is empty and clean before putting wax into the tub.
- Open the bags of paraffin wax and place the 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.
- Plug the unit into a 110V/120V A/C household outlet.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
How to Use Paraffin Treatment
1. Before immersing your hand, test the paraffin wax on the inside of your wrist to make sure the temperature of the wax is comfortable. Remove all jewelry before dipping (i.e. rings, bracelets, watch).NOTE: It is suggested you wash the area to be treated and apply lanolin-based hand lotion over the area before dipping it into the paraffin wax. This will allow the wax to be removed more easily and will help moisturize the skin.2. Dip your hand into the melted paraffin wax and remove it immediately. Wait a few seconds until the wax solidifies. Try to avoid moving your hand while wax is applied. NOTE: The dipping process is quick. Do not leave your hand in the tub. Do not soak. Dip quickly in and out.3. Repeat this step several times until several layers have formed, 6-10 coatings are suggested.4. For longer heat treatment, place a plastic liner (provided) over the treated area and twist bag at the opening. Keep paraffin wax and liner on the treated area for 15-30 minutes for ultimate therapy. (See Figure 3)5. Peel off the wax from the treated area. If using a plastic liner, peel the plastic lining from the area being treated. Paraffin wax will peel off with liner. (See Figure 4)6. Discard used wax. If you are the only person using the ParaSpa, the wax can be re-used. Simply put it back into the tub to re-melt.
