HoMedics PAR-300 Instructions for use, Important Note, How to set up the ParaSpa Plus unit

Instructions for use:

This unit is controlled by a thermostat. The unit can hold a maximum of 4 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 (square within a square) 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

•Four 1 lb. bags of Paraffin Wax

•30 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 4 lbs. of paraffin wax and a minimum of

3 lbs. See Fig. 1 Always keep the level of 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. See

Fig. 2 The paraffin wax should melt in less than 2 hours.

7.“Ready” light will come on when wax is completely melted. Open the lid and place the grate into the wax and allow it to sink to the bottom of the tub. See 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.

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 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. See 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. See 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.
