Instructions for Operation and Care of Dickson Paraffin Baths

DIRECTIONS FOR OPERATING

Remove Plexiglass Slat from inside unit. Place the
paraffin in the bath. Plug the bath into outlet of 115 volt
50/60 cycle alternating current. There is no power switch
so the unit will be on once plugged in. Turn the knob
clockwise to the high heat position on Model PB-101 to
activate the highheat circuit (the high heat circuit will stay
in operation until the circuit is manually switched off). On
models PB-104, PB-105 and PB-107, rotate the timer
switch to activate the timed hi-heat circuit for the full 55
minutes. To rapidly melt the paraffin it may be desirable
to activate the hi-heat circuit a second time. In any event,
when the time switch returns to "0" the hi-heat circuit is
broken and the bath automatically will begin to operate
on the maintenance circuit. Therefore, after the timer
returns to "0", allow the bath to cool until the treatment
temperature of 126°F (52.2°C) is reached and
maintained. The high heat warming light will go off as
treatment temperature is approached.
** CAUTION! Do not rely on the light alone to
determine whether the Dickson Paraffin Bath is at
operating temperature – ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE
PROVIDED THERMOMETER READS A SAFE
OPERATING TEMPERATURE, 126° to 132°F (52.2° to
55.6°C) BEFORE SUBMERGING ANY APPENDAGES
IN THE WAX!
** ATTENTION ! Ne vous fiez pas seulement au
voyant pour déterminer si le bain de paraffine
Dickson est à la bonne température - TOUJOURS
VÉRIFIER QUE LA TEMPÉRATURE PRISE AVEC LE
THERMOMÈTRE
FOURNI EST LA BONNE TEMPÉRATURE DE
FONCTIONNEMENT, soit de 52,2 à 55,6C (126 à 132F)
AVANT D'IMMERGER TOUT APPENDICE DANS LA

Keep the unit connected to the electrical outlet. The
maintenance circuit, independent of the high-heat
circuit, is controlled by a close differential thermo-switch
set to automatically keep the bath liquid at a temperature
of 126°F (52.2°C). The DICKSON Bath precisely
BE SURE THAT THERE IS PARAFFIN IN THE TANK BEFORE OPERATING UNIT.
OPERATION WITH AN EMPTY TANK MAY CAUSE THE HEATING ELEMENTS TO BURN
OUT.

maintains this temperature. This insures the quickest
possible "glove" to be formed.
If a higher temperature is required for an individual patient,
turn on the high heat knob until the thermometer shows the
desired temperature. As a rule, with the high-heat knob
switched on and the bath covered, the temperature will rise
1°F (0.55°C) per minute.
The high heat indicator light will go on when the
temperature of the bath is anywhere in the range of 140 to
150°F (54.4 to 65.5 °C) and above. This light indicates
when the bath is coming up to sanitizing temperature.

It is recommended the Paraffin Bath be connected to
electric current day and night. It will then be ready for use
at any time.
The temperature of the paraffin will not rise above 212°F
(100°C) at any time. Again, on all DICKSON models, there
is a safety limit switch on the melting element. Thus the
powerful melting element is safety circuited by both the
cutout switch and the timer mechanism. As an added
precaution the maintenance element, which in itself is not
powerful enough to overheat the bath is also limited by a
cut-out switch.
If it is necessary to disconnect the bath from the electrical
circuit at night, the temperature of the paraffin solution will
drop approximately 25 to 30°F (13.8 to 16.5°C). By turning
the high-heat switch on in the morning for about 30
minutes the proper treatment temperature will again be
achieved.
