It features buttons for temperature regulation (up/down), an On/Off button, a mode switch, and an LCD screen displaying the current temperature. The temperature range is 30°C to 85°C, and the wax is ready in approximately 40 minutes.
  • Temperature Regulation Buttons: Use these to adjust the desired wax temperature between 30°C and 85°C.
  • On/Off Button: Powers the unit on or off.
  • Mode Switch: Selects different operating modes (if applicable).
  • LCD Screen: Displays the current temperature.

Setup

  1. Placement: Place the paraffin wax bath on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.
  2. Insert Grid: Place the insulating grid at the bottom of the wax bath. This prevents direct contact between the heating element and the user's skin.
  3. Add Wax: Open the paraffin wax blocks and place them into the bath. The unit has a 5-liter capacity. Ensure the wax level is between the minimum and maximum fill lines.
  4. Power On: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. Press the On/Off button to turn on the unit.
  5. Set Temperature: Use the temperature regulation buttons to set the desired melting temperature. For initial melting, a higher temperature (e.g., 70-80°C) can be used to speed up the process.
  6. Melt Wax: Allow approximately 40 minutes for the wax to fully melt. The LCD screen will display the current temperature. Once melted, adjust the temperature to a comfortable and safe level for skin application (typically between 45-55°C).

Operating Instructions

Paraffin Treatment for Hands, Feet, or Elbows

  1. Preparation: Ensure the area to be treated (hands, feet, or elbows) is clean and dry. Remove any jewelry.
  2. Temperature Check: Before dipping, test a small amount of wax on your wrist to ensure the temperature is comfortable and not too hot. The recommended temperature for application is typically between 45-55°C.
  3. First Dip: Slowly dip your hand, foot, or elbow into the melted paraffin wax. Immediately remove it, allowing the wax to solidify slightly (a few seconds).
  4. Repeat Dips: Repeat the dipping process 3-5 times, or until a thick, even layer of wax has formed.
  5. Covering: Immediately after the final dip, cover the treated area with a plastic glove, followed by a thermal glove. This helps retain heat and maximize the therapeutic effect.
  6. Relaxation: Keep the wax on for 10-15 minutes. During this time, the heat will penetrate, providing relief and hydrating the skin.
  7. Removal: Gently peel off the solidified wax. The wax should come off easily, taking dead skin cells with it. Discard the used wax.

Maintenance and Cleaning

  1. Cool Down: After each use, turn off the unit and unplug it from the power outlet. Allow the wax to cool and solidify completely.
  2. Remove Wax: Once the wax has solidified, it can often be removed as a single block. If necessary, gently scrape the sides with a non-abrasive tool to loosen it.
  3. Clean Interior: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the interior of the bath. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surface.
  4. Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, dry cloth.
  5. Storage: Store the appliance in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Troubleshooting

  • Wax not melting: Ensure the unit is properly plugged in and turned on. Check that the temperature setting is high enough for melting (e.g., 70-85°C). Allow sufficient time for the wax to melt (approx. 40 minutes).
  • Wax too hot/cold: Adjust the temperature using the control panel buttons. Allow a few minutes for the wax to reach the new temperature. Always test the wax temperature before application.
  • Skin irritation: If you experience any skin irritation, redness, or discomfort, discontinue use immediately. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.
  • Unit not turning on: Check the power connection and ensure the outlet is functional. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
