2. Melting Wax
- Plug in the appliance and turn on the power switch. The red 'Heating' indicator light will illuminate.
- Set the desired temperature using the thermostat knob. Refer to your wax manufacturer's recommendations for the ideal melting point. The temperature range is 30-110°C (86-230°F).

- Cover the melter with the lid during the heating process to maintain temperature and speed up melting.
- If the melting speed is slow, you may temporarily set the temperature to the highest level and stir occasionally with the provided stainless steel spoon.
- Stir the wax every 2 minutes for 3-4 seconds to ensure even melting.

- Once the wax has fully melted, promptly reduce the temperature to the wax's recommended melting point to avoid burning. The melted wax temperature becomes most stable after about 15-20 minutes.
- The indicator lights will change: Red (Heating) will turn off, Yellow (Insulation/Keep Warm) will turn on when the set temperature is reached.

Maintenance and Cleaning
- After Each Use: Completely pour out any remaining melted wax. It is not recommended to store wax in the melter overnight, as solidified wax can affect the heating function and cause fouling.
- Cleaning the Interior: After pouring out the wax, use a dry towel or dry paper to wipe the barrel wall and bottom.
- Cleaning Clogged Spout: If the spout becomes clogged with wax, turn the temperature dial to 212°F (100°C) and allow the machine to heat for approximately 15 minutes until the wax melts. A hairdryer can also be used to blow warm air onto the spout to speed up the melting process.

- Deep Cleaning (if needed): For stubborn residue, you can add water with an appropriate amount of citric acid or white vinegar to the melter. Heat the solution, then drain it through the spout and wipe the interior clean with a dry towel.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Power light not on | No power supply or blown fuse | Check power connection, replace fuse if necessary. |
| Wax not melting or heating slowly | Incorrect temperature setting, damaged temperature controller | Adjust temperature, contact support if controller is faulty. |
| Spout clogged with wax | Wax solidified in spout | Heat melter to 212°F (100°C) for 15 minutes or use a hairdryer on the spout. |
| Electrical issues | No ground wire or poor ground contact | Ensure proper grounding. |
