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.
