• 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.

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.
