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,
follow troubleshooting steps at therabath.com/service.
