INITIAL USE

• Remove the packaging material.
• Make sure that all parts specified in the Included in delivery list are contained (see 1. Included in delivery).
• Check the paraffin bath and mains cable for damage.
• Place the paraffin bath on a flat, secure, even and water-resistant surface or table.
• Make sure that the paraffin bath is empty before filling it with paraffin wax.
  
• Remove the paraffin wax from its plastic packaging.
• Put the desired amount of paraffin wax (minimum 0.9 kg, maximum 1.35 kg) into the paraffin bath. In order to make it easier to put the paraffin wax into the paraffin bath, break up the blocks of paraffin wax.

Make sure that the paraffin bath is always filled with paraffin wax up to at least the MIN fill indicator line before use.

• Insert the mains plug into the socket (240 V~, 50/60 Hz). The green operation light on the paraffin bath will light up. The device is now switched on. The red heating light on the paraffin bath will also light up, and will only go out when the specified heat setting has been reached.
  
• Turn the temperature controller to "hot" to melt the paraffin wax.
  
• Now place the lid on the paraffin bath and wait until the paraffin wax has completely melted (around 2-3 hours).
  

If the paraffin bath is set to "hot", never dip your hands, feet or elbows in the paraffin wax.

• As soon as the paraffin wax has completely melted, remove the lid.
  
• Turn the temperature controller to the marked line between "warm" and "hot".
  
• Lay the protective grille included in the delivery contents in the liquid paraffin wax and wait until it has sunk to the bottom of the paraffin bath.
  
• Put the lid back onto the paraffin bath and wait approximately one hour, until the paraffin wax has cooled to an ideal operating temperature (60°C).

The room temperature can a affect the power of the device and consequently the temperature of the wax. Before submerging your hands, feet or elbows in the paraffin bath, use the inside of your wrist to check that the temperature of the wax is comfortable.
If a skin should form on the wax surface, increase the temperature by turning the temperature controller clockwise. If the paraffin wax is too hot for you, reduce the temperature by turning the temperature controller anti-clockwise.

USAGE

Before submerging your hands, feet or elbows in the paraffin bath, use the inside of your wrist to check that the temperature of the wax is comfortable.

Take off your jewellery (e.g. watches, rings, etc.) before treatment.

After you have completed the necessary preparations from "Initial use", you can begin using the device. To start the treatment, carry out the following steps:

• We recommend applying a lanolin-based hand lotion to the areas to be treated before treatment. This will help you achieve a better result, and will make it easier to remove the paraffin wax after treatment.

When using the paraffin bath on your feet, only use it sitting down. Never stand in the paraffin bath.

• Briefly submerge the area to be treated (your hand, foot or elbow) for 1-2 seconds in the liquid paraffin wax.
  
  Remove your hand again and wait briefly until the wax has solidified. During this time, do not move the treated area, so that the wax can solidify properly.

• Repeat the process of submerging and pulling out six to seven times, until several layers of paraffin wax have formed over the treatment areas. If the paraffin wax is either too hot or too cold for you during the treatment period, turn the temperature controller clockwise or anti-clockwise, to increase or decrease the temperature as required.
  
• Now put a sheet on the treated area, press it onto the paraffin wax and twist the end shut. Keep the sheet on for 20 minutes.
  

If you are wearing the plastic sleevers on your feet, do not run around in them. You could slip.

• After 20 minutes, take the sheet and the layers of wax o the treated area. Dispose the sheet in the general waste; it cannot be reused.
  
• After each use, take the protective grille out of the paraffin bath.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

If the device is only being used by one person, change the paraffin wax at regular intervals and clean the paraffin bath whilst doing so.
If the device is being used by several people, the paraffin wax should be changed before each treatment for reasons of hygiene.

• Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
• Take the protective grille out of the paraffin bath.
• Allow the paraffin wax to solidify overnight.

Do not use any sharp or pointed objects to remove the wax block from the paraffin bath. You could damage or scratch the paraffin bath.

• If the paraffin wax has solidified, press on one end of the wax block and lift it out of the paraffin bath. If the wax block cannot be removed easily, turn the temperature controller to "warm" for ten minutes. Then remove the mains plug and take the wax block out of the paraffin bath.
  

• Then wipe the inside of the paraffin bath dry with a clean towel.

Never fill the paraffin bath with water in order to clean it.

• After cleaning, store the paraffin bath in a cool, dry and dust-proof place.
