WHY DICKSON PARAFFIN BATHS?
DICKSON Paraffin Baths are precise instruments
designed to safely facilitate hot paraffin treatments of the
body extremities so as to relieve the pain and discomfort
associated with joint diseases and/or injuries. Published
discourses on the benefits of such treatments are
available from Whitehall.
DICKSON Baths have evolved since 1924, using the
ideas, imagination and advice of many in the field of
physical therapy and physical medicine. Today DICKSON
is synonymous with quality and is the finest name in the
application of paraffin.
Distinctive features of these baths are detailed on the
succeeding pages, but a few of the more prominent ones
might be:

Stainless Steel Tank. Paraffin and perspiration have
been known to have corrosive properties. All Dickson
paraffin baths are constructed with 22 gage 304 stainless
steel with a 2B finish, which will not corrode with heavy
use, and meets the highest standards in sanitizing.
Precise Temperature Control. The DICKSON Baths
operate with a maximum temperature variation of plus or
minus 1°F (0.55°C). This insures a critical bath
temperature and the quickest possible formation of the
paraffin “glove” which is so essential to the paraffin
treatment, as it quickly protects the immersed member
from burns, while allowing a great amount of heat input. In
other words, a good paraffin bath must hold the
temperature precisely so the solution will immediately
congeal around the relatively colder member when it is
immersed.
High Heat Warning Light. Indicates the temperature of
the bath is higher than that considered safe and
comfortable for treatment.
Timed Melting or Sanitizing Temperature Circuit.
(Found on models PB-104, PB-105, PB-107 only) The
DICKSON Bath is the only bath having a timed hi-heat
circuit. This simply allows the melting of the paraffin or
sanitizing to take place unattended. Also, with such a
switch, the hi-heat cannot accidentally be left in the “on”
position. Sanitizing is accomplished by the operator
turning the hi-heat circuit on for an hour at the end of the
day. When the timer returns to zero, the bath
automatically returns to treatment temperature, ready for
use the next morning.
Light Mahogany Molding. (Found on models PB-104 &
PB-105 only) These hard wood moldings, with a new
plastic epoxy finish, insure the patient's protection from
the heat of the bath and surrounding metal. They are
contoured and provide a comfortable, cool and safe rest
for the patient's arm or leg. They insulate the tank from the
atmosphere and thereby minimize heat conduction and do
contribute to the stability of the bath temperature. These
moldings, in slightly extending over the inside of the tank,
also serve as a splash guard or arrester.
Integrated Heating Elements. The elements are an
integral part of the tank and provide an even flow of heat
with no dangerous hot spots. Also, in this regard for safety,
all DICKSON baths have a limit switch on both the hi-heat
and maintenance circuits which will automatically prohibit
runaway temperatures.
There are many other features, but, again, a most
important one is the renowned DICKSON quality with the
attendant trouble-free rugged construction.
DICKSON Institutional Bath models are shipped complete
with pure paraffin, Plexiglas bottom slats to keep contact
of appendages from resting directly on the bottom of the
unit (found on models PB-104 & PB-105 only), cover and
floating test thermometer. They are guaranteed for 1 year
against mechanical or electrical defects.

DIRECTIONS FOR OPERATING
Remove Plexiglass Slat from inside unit. Place the
paraffin in the bath. Plug the bath into outlet of 115 volt
50/60 cycle alternating current. There is no power switch
so the unit will be on once plugged in. Turn the knob
clockwise to the high heat position on Model PB-101 to
activate the highheat circuit (the high heat circuit will stay
in operation until the circuit is manually switched off). On
models PB-104, PB-105 and PB-107, rotate the timer
switch to activate the timed hi-heat circuit for the full 55
minutes. To rapidly melt the paraffin it may be desirable
to activate the hi-heat circuit a second time. In any event,
when the time switch returns to “0” the hi-heat circuit is
broken and the bath automatically will begin to operate
on the maintenance circuit. Therefore, after the timer
returns to “0”, allow the bath to cool until the treatment
temperature of 126°F (52.2°C) is reached and
maintained. The high heat warming light will go off as
treatment temperature is approached.
** CAUTION! Do not rely on the light alone to
determine whether the Dickson Paraffin Bath is at
operating temperature –ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE
PROVIDED THERMOMETER READS A SAFE
OPERATING TEMPERATURE, 126° to 132°F (52.2° to
55.6°C) BEFORE SUBMERGING ANY APPENDAGES
IN THE WAX!
** ATTENTION ! Ne vous fiez pas seulement au
voyant pour déterminer si le bain de paraffine
Dickson est à la bonne température - TOUJOURS
VÉRIFIER QUE LA TEMPÉRATURE PRISE AVEC LE
THERMOMÈTRE
FOURNI EST LA BONNE TEMPÉRATURE DE
FONCTIONNEMENT, soit de 52,2 à 55,6C (126 à 132F)
AVANT D'IMMERGER TOUT APPENDICE DANS LA
CIRE !
Keep the unit connected to the electrical outlet. The
maintenance circuit, independent of the high-heat
circuit, is controlled by a close differential thermo-switch
set to automaticallykeep the bath liquid at a temperature
of 126°F (52.2°C). The DICKSON Bath precisely
maintains this temperature. This insures the quickest
possible “glove” to be formed.
If a higher temperature is required for an individual patient,
turn on the high heat knob until the thermometer shows the
desired temperature. As a rule, with the high-heat knob
switched on and the bath covered, the temperature will rise
1°F (0.55°C) per minute.
The high heat indicator light will go on when the
temperature of the bath is anywhere in the range of 140 to
150°F (54.4 to 65.5 °C) and above. This light indicates
when the bath is coming up to sanitizing temperature.
DO NOT USE INDICATOR LIGHT TO DETERMINE
OPERATING TEMPERATURE! ALWAYS VERIFY
OPERATING TEMPERATURE WITH THE PROVIDED
THERMOMETER.
NE PAS UTILISER LE VOYANT POUR DÉTERMINER
LA TEMPÉRATURE DE FONCTIONNEMENT !
TOUJOURS VÉRIFIER LA TEMPÉRATURE DE
FONCTIONNEMENT À L'AIDE DU THERMOMÈTRE
FOURNI.
It is recommended the Paraffin Bath be connected to
electric current day and night. It will then be ready for use
at any time.
The temperature of the paraffin will not rise above 212°F
(100°C) at any time. Again, on all DICKSON models, there
is a safety limit switch on the melting element. Thus the
powerful melting element is safety circuited by both the
cutout switch and the timer mechanism. As an added
precaution the maintenance element, which in itself is not
powerful enough to overheat the bath is also limited by a
cut-out switch.
If it is necessary to disconnect the bath from the electrical
circuit at night, the temperature of the paraffin solution will
drop approximately 25 to 30°F (13.8 to 16.5°C). By turning
the high-heat switch on in the morning for about 30
minutes the proper treatment temperature will again be
achieved.
BE SURE THAT THERE IS PARAFFIN IN THE TANK BEFORE OPERATING UNIT.
OPERATION WITH AN EMPTY TANK MAY CAUSE THE HEATING ELEMENTS TO BURN
OUT.

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 10minutes, 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

the cord to the electrical outlet and the Bath will soon be
ready again for the patient's use.
This operation removes 1 to 3 pounds (0.45 to 1.36 kg) of
paraffin from the solution and it should be replaced by
adding fresh paraffin and oil to the bath.
CHANGING THE FUSE
Turn the Dickson Paraffin unit off via the controls on the
front panel and then unplug the unit.
Next, position the unit to allow access to the rear of
paraffin bath. Locate the fuse holders at rear of the unit.
Depress the fuse holder caps with the use of a “common”
blade screwdriver or fingers and rotate counterclockwise
approximately 90° or until the cap becomes loose.
Remove the fuse holder cap, exposing the glass fuse.
Remove the blown fuse.
Once the old fuse has been removed, replace it with a new
fuse of the same type and amperage. Re-install the fuse
holder cap by depressing and rotating clockwise
approximately 90° and ensure that the fuse holder caps
are secured. Turn the unit on via plugging it in to an
electrical outlet. Allow the wax to warm up to the operating
temperature and use as required.
PARAFFIN REFILLS
Whitehall Manufacturing can provide refill paraffin wax
(Paraffin Oil sold separately and can be purchased
through your therapy products dealer). If the factory
paraffin is not used and the paraffin is purchased
elsewhere, it is most important that 126°F (52.2°C)
melting point paraffin be obtained. If this is not done, the
Bath will not operate at a high enough temperature to
keep the paraffin liquid or, if adjusted to overcome this,
will be too hot for use by all except the strongest patients.
Dickson Paraffin Bath FAQ
1)Breakers kick out when paraffin bath is plugged in:
If fuses in paraffin bath did not also blow out, there is too much
load on breaker. Try another electrical outlet.
2)Fuses blow when plugged in:
There is a dead ground in the unit. The unit must be opened up
for repairs.
3)On/off light does not turn on when plugged in:
First check the fuses to see if they are blown. Next, check
the circuit breaker on the building to see if it has been
tripped. Third, the green light may be broken.
(For PB-104 & PB-105: 6902-135-000 and for the PB-101 &
PB107: 6902-122-000)
4)On/off light is dark even though the paraffin bath is
plugged in and is melting wax properly:
The green light (see No. 3 above) is no good or has been wired
wrong.
5)Paraffin bath gets hot enough to get to the sanitize (high
heat) temperature, melts the wax, but won't cool down:
Bad high-temp overheating sensor (6903-144-000 or L-200)
or the timer could be stuck (6902-348-000) 6) Bath will not
get to the sanitize temperature:
Bad low temp overheating sensor (6903-146-000 or L-
145) or bad high temp overheating sensor (6903-144-000
or L-200) or heating element needs to be replaced (see
parts list). It is also possible that the unit has been wired
wrong.
7) Bath goes to high, 200°F+ or 93.3°C+ but proceeds to
cool down to room temperature
Check adjustable operating thermostat on the back of the
unit (PB-101 & PB-107) or remove front cover (PB-104 &
PB-105) and make sure it is turned all the way clockwise. If
the temperature does not rise in 1 to 2 hours, the heating
element (see parts list) is bad or it has been wired wrong .
Also, the unit may have a bad capillary (6902-140-000) 8)
Timer is stuck:
Remove the knob, loosen the nut slightly and try the timer
again. If it still is stuck then the timer is bad (6902-348-000).
9)Wax is not melting all the way:
The wax in the paraffin bath must reach 200°F+ or 93.3°C+
when melting the wax for the first time. In order to fully be
sure that the unit has reached the proper temperature,
make sure the timer has been through at least 2 cycles (3
cycles for larger units). If the wax still does not melt, then
the wax may be bad.
10) Old wax not melting properly and hardening over
time after continual reuse:
If the wax is at a temperature range of 127° to 130°F (52.8° to
54.4°C) and has been continually reused for months, then it is
likely that the oil content has been depleted from the wax. Add
oil or get new wax. If the wax in the bath is partially melted then
a new heating element is not needed. If the wax goes completely
solid, then they will need a new heating element. (see parts list).
11) Wax is too hot for patient and the unit is at lowest
possible operating temperature (126°F or 52.2°C):
Either different wax needs to be purchased with a lower melting
temperature or a temperature acclimation procedure can be
followed. This procedure involves dipping the patient's hand from

the fingertips to the first knuckle and waiting about ten seconds
for the wax to cool. Next, dip the patient's hand from the
fingertips to the second knuckle (proceeding to cover up the first
layer of wax and effectively insulating the hand from some of the
heat). Continue to build the wax up incrementally by small
amounts.
OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION:
lModel S is an old reference to current models PB-101 and
PB-107
lModel K is an old reference to current model PB-104 lModel BB
is an old reference to current model PB-105 l Model H (no longer
being manufactured) is referring to an old PB-104 without a
drain.
l The sanitize mode on the PB-104, PB-105, and PB-107 are
turned on with a timer.
l The sanitize mode on a PB-101 is turned on with a three- way
switch.
lAll Dickson models have a sanitizing circuit.
l Standard operating temperature is 126° to 130°F (52.2° to
54.4°C) l Lowest operating temperature is 126°F or 52.2°C.
Below this temperature, wax will harden (if lid is removed from
the unit or power is off)
l A capillary thermostat is attached to the temperature control.
This device controls the temperature with a mechanism that
involves a tube filled with oil. The temperature heats up the
oil in the capillary, and the hotter it gets, the higher the oil
rises up the tube.
l There are 2 overheating sensors in all models except for the
PB-101. The L-145 is the low limit overheating sensor. This
sensor will turn the unit off when it gets in the range of 145°
to 155°F (62.8 to 68.3°C). The other overheating sensor is for
the sanitize mode. This sensor will not allow the unit to go
past 200°F or 93.3°C.
l Timer is only to be used to turn on the sanitize sequence in
which the temperature of the wax will approach 200°F or
93.3°C. All units except for the PB-101 are simply turned on
by plugging them in. The PB-101 has a switch.
