How to Use the Spa:

Once you have completed the “How to Fill the Spa”instructions,

you can either turn the unit on by pressing the on/off button to commence
melting immediately.Or,you can set the timer to commence melting at a later

point in the day.

How to Commence Melting Immediately:

button twice. Or,you can switch back to the “MED” (default) temperature setting
by pressing the “TEMP” button a third time.

3. It is recommended that the wax be melted on “HIGH” temperature to

achieve the fastest melt time (approximately 3 hrs.)

4. When the wax is visibly melted (approximately 3 hrs.on “HIGH”temperature), the
Deluxe Paraffin Spa is ready to use (see “How to dip feet” instructions).Once wax is melted,
do not move unit as spillage may occur!

5. Everyone’s sensitivity is different. So,if the temperature feels too hot,simply press the “TEMP”
button to reach the desired temperature (LOW-MED-HIGH). It will take approximately one hour
(from HIGH temperature) for the Paraffin Spa to reach the MED temperature, and two hours
(from HIGH temperature) for the Paraffin Spa to reach the LOW temperature.

How to Commence Melting Later in the Day:

1. To commence melting later in the day,you will need to set your timer.

2. The Timer on your Deluxe Paraffin Spa works like a coffee machine timer. Decide the time

that you want to use the Paraffin Spa and then set the hours and minutes to count down to
that selected time. For example,if you want to use the Paraffin Spa at 8:00 p.m.and the time
is now 12:00 p.m.,you will need to set your timer to count down from 8 hours.

perature will default to medium,and the word “MED” will show on the display.

the wax is completely melted when the timer reaches 00:00. It is recommended that the

wax be melted on “HIGH” temperature to achieve the fastest melt time.

3. Press the “AUTO” key. The display will show 4:00 and flash.

How to Use the Pumice Wand

File clean,dry feet with gentle strokes until rough, hard skin is removed.Use the coarse side
for hard, callused skin,the fine side for rough,dry skin.

How to Dip Feet

1. With the unit filled to the “max” line, it takes approximately 8–10 uses ( 5 dips per foot per
use)

for the wax to fall below the “ m i n ”l i n e .Do not allow wax to fall below the “ m i n ” line or over the

“ m a x ”l i n e .

2. Wash and thoroughly dry feet.For ultimate softness, use the pumice wand (see “How to

use pumice wand” instructions) and/or add your favorite lotion to your feet, hands or
elbows and rub in gently prior to dipping. Important:Do not use a heat activated or
heat sensitive lotion.

3 . Test the temperature of the wax by dabbing a small amount on the inside of your wrist.If wax

seems too hot, s i m p ly select a lower temperature by pressing the “T E M P”button until the desired
t e m p e r ature setting (LOW,M E D ,H I G H) shows on the display. It will take ap p r o x i m at e ly one hour
(from HIGH temperature) for Paraffin Spa to reach the MED temperature and 2 hours (from HIGH

t e m p e r ature) for the Paraffin Spa to reach the LOW temperat u r e .
4 . Place the plastic foot rest in the Paraffin Spa if desired.
5 . S l o w ly immerse your foot into the Paraffin Spa chamber. Let the paraffin solidify on your fo o t .

Wait at least three seconds (until the paraffin no longer appears shiny) before redipping.
6 . Continue to dip your foot in and out of the wax, following Step 5, to build up layers of paraff i n .

For the best results, do this at least five times.The more lay e r s ,the longer the heat will last.

7. To treat your hands or elbows,follow steps as outlined for feet.For hands, slowly immerse

with fingers spread slightly apart.

8. To prolong the heat therapy on your feet, see instructions on “How to use your insulated

cotton booties and liners.” To prolong the heat therapy on your hands,see instructions on
“How to use your insulated cotton mitts and liners ( select models).

9. After your treatment is complete,remove the booties or mitts see “How to use your cotton

booties or cotton mitts”instructions). Note: cotton mitts only included in select
models. Remove the plastic liners (see “How to use your cotton booties or cotton mitts”
instructions) and discard.Peel the hardened wax from your feet, hands or elbows.Or, use
the removal wand included to help remove the wax from your feet.It is recommended

that the hardened wax be discarded due to the buildup of dead skin cells attached
to the wax. However, you may put the hardened wax back in the chamber, if
desired.

1 0 . M a s s age in the oils left on your feet,hands or elbows after the wax is peeled off to get the full

i n v i g o r ating and rejuvenating benefits of your Paraffin Wax Tr e at m e n t .

1 1 . As soon as you have completed your wax treat m e n t ,turn the unit off and unplug it.A f t e r

u n p l u gging the Paraffin Spa, remove the plastic foot rest.If the foot rest is not remov e d ,

the next time you heat up the Paraffin Spa, the wax will take longer to melt.

H o w e v e r , this will not be noticeable in the timer mode as the timer is programmed

to compensate for this. If you discard the used wax after each use,we recommend you

clean out the unit completely after 40 uses.If you re-use the wax after every use,we recom-

mend you clean out the unit completely after 20 uses.(See “Cleaning Instructions”).
1 2 . I f ,at this time,cleaning is not necessary,s i m p ly allow wax to harden completely and then
