• 2 / 12 •
• Use paraffin wax that is formulated for use in a paraffin warmer. Paraffin that has a higher
or lower melting point should not be used in this unit.
• Use an electrically grounded (3-pin) receptacle that conforms to the applicable local and
national electrical codes.
• Do not operate in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixtures, oxygen, or nitrous oxide.
• Do not operate the unit without the plastic grate on the bottom.
• Do not touch the bottom or sides of the metal tank, or a burn may result.
• Do not heat paraffin on a stove, hotplate, or in a microwave.
• Do use this appliance on a level, secure surface.
• Do not use any additives in the paraffin except as allowed by the manufacturer.
• Do not modify this equipment without authorization from the manufacturer.
Cautions
• Meets IEC/EN 60601-1-2 electromagnetic compatibility interference safety standard.
(Care must be taken when operating this equipment around other equipment. Potential
electromagnetic or other interference could occur to this or the other equipment. Minimize
this interference by not using other equipment in conjunction with it.)
• Do not remelt used paraffin, which may pick up particles or chemicals that may damage
the tank.
• Never use sharp objects to remove hardened paraffin from the unit. See cleaning
instructions.
• Do not leave an empty unit plugged in.
• Do not pour melted paraffin from the tank.

Environmental Ratings
Operating Transport and Storage
Temperature: + 65° to + 85° F - 40° to + 130° F
Relative Humidity: 10% to 95% 10% to 95%
Atmospheric Pressure: 70 to 160 kPa 70 to 160 kPa
Heating System and Pilot Light Operation
• The Therabath is equipped with 2 thermostats. The Control
Thermostat automatically heats and maintains the paraffin at 130
degrees F (54.4 C) with ± 4 degrees F variation. If the Control
Thermostat fails, the High Limit Thermostat automatically shuts
off the unit completely. Return to manufacturer for servicing.
• The pilot light (on end of unit) indicates the unit is heating, and
is lit only during the heating cycle. During normal operation, the
pilot light goes on and off at regular intervals. Most of the time
it is off.
• If the unit is not completely melted after being plugged in for
12 hours, the unit has malfunctioned and should be returned to
the manufacturer for servicing.
Operating Instructions
1. Unpack the unit and place it on a flat, secure surface.
2. Open the included bags of paraffin and place the contents inside the tank.
NOTE: “Hospital Grade”
