HOW TO SET UP THE THERASPA LUXE UNIT:
-
Remove all contents from packaging and check to make sure you have all of the following components of the TheraSpa Luxe paraffin bath:
• Paraffin bath tub with lid
• Plastic grate
• Three 1-lb. bags of paraffin wax
• 20 plastic liners
-
Place unit on a level and sturdy table or surface and open the lid.
-
Make sure TheraSpa Luxe tub is empty before putting wax into tub.
-
Open the bags of paraffin wax and place wax in the tub. Always keep the level of melted paraffin wax filled to the “MIN” level marked on the inside of the tub.
-
Plug the unit into a 120-volt A/C household outlet.
-
Place the lid on the tub. Push the power button and the Melting light will illuminate white while the wax is melting.
-
The paraffin wax should melt in less than two hours. “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 TheraSpa Luxe 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: To avoid burns, be sure to add the grate before dipping.
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 melting
light is on.
NOTE: Place the grate into the unit only when the paraffin wax is melted.
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.
Do not change the plug in any way.
This unit is controlled by a thermostat. The unit can hold a maximum of 4 Ibs.
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.
For proper application, quickly dip the body area (i.e. hand, foot, 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.
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.
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, 2 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
doubleinsulated 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 [Fj may also be marked on the appliance.
HOW TO USE THE PARAFFIN BATH:
-
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 paraffin wax. This will allow the wax to be removed easier and will help moisturize the skin. -
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. -
Repeat this step several times until several layers have formed; 6-10 coatings are suggested.
-
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).
-
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).
-
Discard used wax.
NOTE: If you are the only person using the TheraSpa Luxe, the wax can be re-used. Simply put the wax back into the tub to re-melt.
MAINTENANCE
TO CLEAN Unplug unit and remove grate. Allow paraffin wax to solidify overnight.
- Push on one end of paraffin wax block. This will tip it up. Lift the block out of the unit and dispose of it. DO NOT USE SHARP OBJECTS TO REMOVE THE PARAFFIN WAX BLOCK, THIS MAY SCRATCH OR DAMAGE THE TUB.
