Remove the four screws holding the name plate and timer 

 

The  skin  remains  soft,  pliable  and  moist  when  this 
treatment is used and a characteristic blood flow increase 
to aid in rehabilitation.

 

Continuous  immersion  is  the  recommended  procedure 
for the fastest relief. For new patients, it is suggested the 
following times be considered:

 

 10 minutes for fingers

 

switch with a small screwdriver on units PB-104 and       

 10 to 15 minutes for hands

 

PB-105.  For  units  PB-101  and  PB-107  Thermostat 

adjustment is located in the rear of unit.

 

To  lower  the  operating  temperature,  turn  the  adjusting 

screw 

COUNTER-CLOCKWISE 

– about 5 minutes on a 

clock dial for a 6°F (3.3°C) change.  Since the bath cools 
very slowly, about 1°F (0.55°C) in 10 minutes, allow plenty 
of  time  for  the  temperature  to settle  to  the  desired  point 
before further adjustment.

 

To  raise  the  operating  temperature,  turn  the  adjusting 

screw 

CLOCKWISE

.

 

Because  these  thermostats  are  in  continuous  operation, 

much like an automobile going uphill, they do occasionally 
malfunction.  In such an event, please call for replacement 
instructions.

 

DIRECTIONS FOR TREATMENT 

The  appendage  to  be  treated  should  first  be  thoroughly 

washed  with  a  antimicrobial  soap  and  dried.  The 
appendage should then be placed in the bath and quickly 
removed so a thin coat of paraffin congeals and adheres 
to  the  skin.  This  procedure  should  be  repeated  until  a 
“glove”  of  paraffin  is  of  sufficient  thickness  to  allow  the 
patient to keep the member immersed in comfort.

 

After  this  glove  is  formed,  the  member  should  be 

constantly immersed  in  the  bath  for  10  to  20  minutes. 

 

15 to 30 minutes for arms

 

 30 to 45 minutes for the feet

 

Because  of  the  high  heat  input  of  the  paraffin,  the  bath 

must  be  used  judiciously  in  treating  old,  weak  or 
debilitated individuals. If circulatory and sensory changes 
are  present,  the  application  of  paraffin  should  be  made 
cautiously. 

 

For  such  patients,  we  suggest  the  glove  be  allowed  to 

build up and the member removed from the bath until the 
paraffin  is  cool.  The  member  in  the  paraffin  glove  then 
should be again immersed for as long as possible.

 

Also, when there is insufficient time to allow the member 

to soak, a thick glove should be developed on the member 
and the glove wrapped in “Saran Wrap” or an equivalent 
to obtain the longest possible benefit from the heat.

 

Remove paraffin from appendage. Discard used paraffin 

and plastic (if used).

 

CLEANING THE BATH 

Often Paraffin Baths are not cleaned as regularly as their 

use  warrants. Whitehall Manufacturing  now prepares an 
economical refill kit.

 

To sanitize the bath, turn the high-heat switch on for a full 

 

55  minutes.  The  temperature  will  rise  to  about  212°F 

(100°C).  The  bath  should,  in  this  manner,  be  sanitized 
after  each  day's  use.  Again,  the  bath  will  automatically 
return to the operating temperature (On models PB-104, 
PB-105, and PB-107 only), the bath is thus normally self-
sanitizing.

 

If there is a noticeable amount of sediment in the bottom 

of  the  Bath,  all  the  paraffin  must  be  removed  for  proper 
cleaning.  Therefore,  periodically,  the  Bath  should  be 
drained completely of the paraffin solution and the bottom 
of  the  Bath  and  the  plexiglas  slats  (these  slats  are  only 
available  on  models  PB-104  and  PB-105)  cleaned 
thoroughly.

 

For this purpose, your Bath is supplied with a hollow drain 

ring (only available on models PB-104 and PB-105) that 
can be placed in the drain opening and which rises about 
half an inch above the bottom of the drain.  In this manner 
the clean paraffin can be drained into a container and the 
sediment will remain in the bottom of the Bath.

 

After this is done, the Bath should be disconnected from 

the  electrical  outlet  and  the  drain  ring  removed.  The 
sediment  and  sludge  may  then  be  drained,  the  bottom 
flushed and the slats cleaned.

 

The clean paraffin in the container should still be in a liquid 

state and can readily be returned to the Bath. Reconnect
