2. Safety Instructions

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in fire, electric shock, burns, or other injuries.

• Always place the wax melter on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface.
• Do not operate the appliance near flammable materials or in areas with poor ventilation.
• Ensure the power cord is not damaged and is connected to a grounded electrical outlet.
• Never leave the appliance unattended while in operation.
• The wax and internal components become extremely hot during use. Avoid direct contact with hot surfaces. Use heat-resistant gloves if necessary.
• Keep children and pets away from the appliance during operation and while it is cooling down.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
• Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning or maintenance.
• Ensure there is always enough wax in the basin to completely cover the bottom heating element during use to prevent overheating of the element.
• Do not overfill the container beyond its maximum capacity (8 liters).

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Adding Wax

• Open the lid and add your desired wax type (e.g., soy wax, beeswax, paraffin wax) into the container.
• Ensure the wax level is above the bottom heating element to prevent damage and ensure efficient melting. Do not exceed the 8-liter maximum fill line.

5.2 Temperature Control and Heating

1. Turn the temperature control knob to your desired melting temperature. The range is typically from 32°C (90°F) to 100°C (212°F). Different wax types have different melting points; consult your wax supplier's recommendations.
2. The appliance will begin heating. The red indicator light will illuminate, indicating that the heating element is active.
3. The TOAUTO WMF-8L features rapid heating. Approximately 3.5 kg of soy wax can melt in about 20 minutes at 100°C.
4. Once the set temperature is reached, the appliance will automatically switch to a warm-keeping mode. The yellow indicator light will illuminate, and the red light may turn off or cycle.
5. If the temperature drops below the set point during warm-keeping, the heating element will reactivate automatically to maintain the desired temperature.

5.3 Indicator Lights

• Red Light (Heating): Indicates the machine is actively heating the wax.
• Yellow Light (Insulation): Indicates the machine is in keep-warm mode. The temperature is being maintained.
• Green Light (Standby): Indicates the machine has automatically cut off power and is using residual heat. This typically occurs when the set temperature is reached and maintained, or when the unit enters a low-power state.

5.4 Dispensing Wax

• The patented heating core spout technology ensures the wax remains heated within the spout, preventing clogs and allowing for smooth, continuous flow.
• The nozzle is positioned lower than the bottom of the internal container, combined with an "hourglass" bottom design, to facilitate draining up to 98% of the wax.
• To dispense wax, open the spout valve. Close it securely after dispensing.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your wax melter.

1. Cool Down: Always ensure the appliance is completely cooled down and unplugged from the power outlet before attempting any cleaning.
2. Emptying Wax: Utilize the spout and the hourglass bottom design to drain as much wax as possible.
3. Interior Cleaning: Once cooled, any remaining wax can be carefully scraped out. The smooth bottom design facilitates easier cleaning. Use a soft cloth or sponge with warm, soapy water to clean the interior. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
4. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
5. Spout Cleaning: Ensure the spout is free of wax residue. If clogged, gently heat the spout area (with the unit unplugged and cooled) to soften the wax, then clear it with a suitable tool.
6. Storage: Store the clean and dry wax melter in a cool, dry place.
