5. Operating Instructions
- Prepare Skin: Ensure the area to be treated (hands, feet, or elbows) is clean and dry.
- Test Temperature: Before immersing, carefully test the wax temperature by dipping a small area of your skin (e.g., fingertip) into the melted wax. It should feel comfortably warm, not hot.
- Dip Application: Slowly dip your hand, foot, or elbow into the melted paraffin wax. Hold it submerged for a few seconds, then slowly remove it. Allow the wax to harden slightly (it will appear opaque) before redipping.
- Layer Wax: Repeat the dipping process 3-5 times to build up several layers of wax.
- Relax: Once the desired layers are applied, relax for 10-15 minutes, allowing the warmth and moisture to penetrate the skin.
- Remove Wax: Gently peel the hardened wax off your skin. The wax should come off easily, revealing softer, smoother skin.
- Moisturize (Optional): Apply your favorite moisturizer to further enhance the skin's hydration.

6. Maintenance
Cleaning the Unit:
- Always unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Once the wax has hardened, it can be easily removed from the basin. You can reuse the wax if it was only used by one person and the skin was clean.
- Wipe the interior and exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
Storage:
- Store the unit in a cool, dry place with the lid securely in place.
- Keep the power cord neatly wrapped and away from sharp objects.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Wax not melting | Unit not plugged in or switched ON. Insufficient time allowed for melting. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in and switch is ON. Allow 2-2.5 hours for initial melting of 1 lb. wax. |
| Wax too hot/cold | Temperature is fixed; individual sensitivity varies. | If too hot, unplug and let cool for a few minutes before testing again. If too cool, ensure unit has been on long enough. |
| Wax not peeling off easily | Not enough layers applied or skin was not completely dry. | Ensure 3-5 layers are applied. Make sure skin is thoroughly dry before dipping. |
