Instructions for use:

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, the plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into

the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
This unit is controlled by a thermostat. The unit can hold a maximum of 3 lbs. of paraffin wax

for operation. The melting time is less than 2 hours and it is designed to run continuously for
24 hours a day.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This unit may feel very warm to sensitive skin. However, in order to fully experience the benefits of
warm paraffin, the wax must be melted to a temperature between 123–131 degrees Fahrenheit. For
proper application, quickly dip the body area (i.e. hand or elbow) into the melted paraffin wax and
remove immediately. Wait a few seconds for wax to solidify. 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.

SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES

In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding
be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement
parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated
appliance is marked with the words ”DOUBLE INSULATION” or ”DOUBLE INSULATED.” The symbol
“

” may also be marked on the appliance.

How to set up the ParaSpa Plus unit:

1. Remove all contents from packaging and check to make sure you have all of the following
components of the ParaSpa Plus paraffin bath:

• Paraffin bath tub with locking lid

• Plastic grate

• Three 1 lb. bags of Paraffin Wax

• 20 plastic liners

2. Place unit on a level and sturdy table or surface and open the lid.

3. Make sure ParaSpa Plus tub is empty before putting wax into tub.

4. Open the bags of Paraffin Wax and place wax in the tub. Open only as many bags as you plan to
use. The unit is designed to hold a maximum of 3 lbs. of melted paraffin wax and a minimum of

2.5 lbs (Fig.1). Always keep the level of melted paraffin wax filled to the “MIN” level marked on the
inside of the tub.

5. Plug the unit into a 120V A/C household outlet.

6. Close the locking lid. Push power button. “Heating” light will flash while wax is melting (Fig. 2).
Most of the paraffin wax should melt in 2 hours.

7. “Ready” light will come on when wax is completely melted. Open the lid and carefully place the

grate into the wax and allow it to sink to the bottom of the tub (Fig. 3). The ParaSpa Plus unit is
designed to be used at room temperature. If the wax starts to solidify or flakes form on the top
surface, close lid and press power button.

NOTE: The temperature of the room can have an effect on the unit’s performance. Therefore we

always recommend testing the paraffin temperature on the inside of the wrist area before dipping
your entire hand or elbow.
NOTE: NEVER open lid or dip your hand, foot or elbow while the “heating” light is flashing.
NOTE: Place the grate into the unit only when the paraffin wax is melted.

HEATING READY

*

NOTE:
To avoid burns,
be sure to
add the grate
before dipping.

How to use the paraffin bath:

1. Before immersing your hand or elbow 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

Fig. 3

Fig. 4

Fig. 5

paraffin wax. This will allow the wax to be removed easier and will help
moisturize the skin.

2. Dip your hand, elbow or foot into the melted paraffin wax and remove
immediately. Wait a few seconds until the wax solidifies.
Try to avoid moving your hand or elbow while wax is applied.
NOTE: Dipping process is quick. Do not leave hand or elbow 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 extended warmth, place a plastic liner (provided) over the treated

area and twist bag at opening. Keep paraffin wax and liner on treated
area for 10–20 minutes for ultimate luxury (Fig. 4).

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 (Fig.5).

6. Discard used wax.
NOTE: If you are the only person using the ParaSpa Plus, the wax can
be re-used. Simply put the wax back into the tub to re-melt.
