Instructions for use:

How to set up the paraffin bath unit:

To set up the unit, please refer to the instruction manual enclosed with the purchase of your paraffin bath. The “How to set up the unit” section under the “Instruction for Use” page will provide all

Figure 1 the necessary step-by-step procedures to begin your paraffin bath treatment. Always keep the level of paraffin wax filled to the “MIN” line

marked on the inside of the tub. Wax must not exceed the “MAX” level.

How to use the paraffin treatment:

	1.		Before immersing your hand, elbow, or foot, test the paraffin wax
			on the inside of your wrist to make sure the temperature of the
			wax is comfortable.
			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
	Figure 2
			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, foot, or elbow while wax is
			applied.
			NOTE: Dipping process is quick. Do not leave hand, foot 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 longer heat treatment, 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 experience. See
			Fig.1
			NOTE: When using the paraffin bath with plastic liners on your
			feet, do not walk around! This may cause you to slip and fall.
	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 Fig.2
	6.		Discard used wax.
			NOTE: If you are the only person using the paraffin bath, the wax
			can be re-used, simply put it back into the tub to re-melt.
