sensation of any extremity before using.
• Discontinue use and consult a physician if the paraffin wax feels too
hot or if it does not feel warm enough. This may indicate a possible
physical problem.

irritation, or pain occurs from continued paraffin treatments.
• Test the paraffin wax on the inside of your wrist to make sure the
temperature is comfortable.
• Do not overfill the unit and always keep the paraffin wax level about
2 inches from the top of the bath.
• Never operate the unit without paraffin wax.
• Do not heat paraffin wax in its plastic packaging, nor heat it over
an open flame, on a range, stove or in a microwave.

Instructions for use:
This unit is a thermostatically controlled unit. The unit can hold a
maximum of 3.5 lbs. of paraffin wax for operation. The melting time is
less than 12 hours and it is designed for continuous run at 24 hours
per day.
Important Note:
This unit may feel very warm to sensitive skin. However, in order to fully
experience the therapeutic benefits of paraffin heat therapy, the wax
must be heated to a temperature between 123-131 degrees
Fahrenheit. This is the temperature utilized by the leading hospital
brand paraffin bathes.
For proper application, quickly dip the body area (i.e. hand or elbow)
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 ParaSpa Mini unit:
1. Remove all contents from packaging and check to make sure you
have all of the following components of the ParaSpa Mini paraffin bath:
• Paraffin bath tub
• Plastic lid
• Plastic grate
• Three 1 lb. bags of Paraffin Wax
• 30 plastic liners

2. Place unit on a level and sturdy table or surface and remove the lid.
3. Make sure ParaSpa Mini 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 3.5 lbs. of paraffin wax and a minimum of 2 lbs. See
Fig. 1 Always keep the level of paraffin wax filled to the "MIN" level
marked on the inside of the tub.
Figure 1
5. Plug the unit into a 110V/120V A/C household outlet. The green LED
light indicates when the unit is plugged in. The red light will turn on
and off as the heating element works.
NOTE: Unit is automatically turned "on" when it is plugged in. If not
used in 48 to 72 hours, turn dial down to "SOLID". If not used for
weeks at a time unplug unit and store in a cool, dry place.
6. Turn the dial to "MELT" to melt the paraffin wax. See Fig. 2 The
paraffin wax should melt in less than 12 hours, usually in under 4-5
hours. The red LED light indicates that the heater element is
operating. Place the lid onto the top of the unit.
Figure 2
7. Turn the dial to "WARM" after paraffin wax is completely melted.
Remove the lid and place the grate into the wax and allow it to sink
to the bottom of the tub. See Fig. 3 Place the lid back onto the top
of the unit. Wait about 1 hour for the paraffin wax to cool down to an
ideal temperature before using. The ParaSpa Mini unit is designed to
be used at room temperature. If the wax starts to solidify or flakes
form on the top surface, turn dial clockwise(right) to increase
the temperature.
NOTE: The room temperature can have an effect on the unit's
Figure 3
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 dip your hand, foot or elbow into the ParaSpa
bath while the unit is in "MELT" mode!
NOTE: Place the grate into the unit only when the paraffin wax
is melted.
How to use the paraffin treatment:
Figure 4
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 or elbow into the melted paraffin wax and remove
Figure 5
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.
