Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for a relaxing paraffin treatment:
- Melt the Wax: Turn on the warmer and set the desired temperature using the digital controls. The quick melt feature can be used for faster initial melting. Allow sufficient time for the wax to fully melt to a smooth, liquid consistency.
- Test Temperature: Before applying to skin, always test a small amount of wax on your wrist to ensure the temperature is comfortable and safe.
- Prepare Skin: Clean and dry the area to be treated (hands, feet, or elbows). Apply a light, non-greasy moisturizer for easier wax removal.
- Dip & Coat: Slowly dip the hand, foot, or elbow into the melted wax. Remove and allow the wax to set for a few seconds. Repeat this process 2-3 times to build a thick, even coating.
- Wrap & Relax: After the final dip, immediately cover the waxed area with a plastic protector (if using) and then wrap it with a warm towel or insulated mitt to retain heat. Relax for 10-15 minutes.
- Peel Away: Gently peel the hardened wax off the skin. The wax should come off in one or a few large pieces. Discard the used wax.
