Heating System and Pilot Light Operation
• The Therabath paraffin bath is equipped with 3 thermostats. The
Control Thermostats automatically heat and maintain the paraffin at
temperature ranges indicated above in Technical Information. If any of
the Control Thermostats fail, 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.
