Statement of Intended Use
The Splint Form 1000 is designed to maintain water bath temperatures for heating thermoplastic materials in clinics and hospitals.
Instructions For Initial Use
1.
Carefully unpack your Splint-Form 1000. Retain original
packaging for any future transportation or servicing.
2.
Use a dry cloth or paper towel to wipe away the protective
oil coating from the metal surface.
3.
Add water (recommend 3" of water from bottom of pan).
Electrical Installation
The Splint-Form 1000 is equipped with a 6 ft.
a three-prong electrical plug. It is designed to protect from
electrical shock should the internal wiring fail.
The plug must be plugged into a grounded, isolated three-
prong socket (15 AMP, 120 volt grounded outlet). Avoid
plugging into an extension cord or power strip. Make certain
incoming voltage is the same as what the unit is rated for.
Do not cut or break off the large third prong on the plug, or
the protective system will not work.
CAUTION
Do not submerge the product in water. Avoid splashing or
pouring water onto Splint-Form 1000 side panels or wiring.
Splint Form 1000 unit is to be used only with perforated insert
pan for thermoplastic heating.
Temperature Setting
1.
The Splint-Form 1000's dial template is marked #1-10, to allow
the therapist to select and mark the desired temperature setting
for particular thermoplastic materials.

To determine the proper setting, fill the pan until water level
measures at least 3"
(7.6cm)
and turn the control dial clockwise from the "off" position. Place
a waterproof thermometer (i.e. NC70112) in the pan and turn
the control dial to #10. Adjust the control dial from this position
to achieve the desired heating requirements and mark the dial
template for future reference. Water temperature should be
between 140° and 160° F
the dial to the off position.
