Tjanting Set
Intended use
The electric Tjanting tool is solely intended for private non-commercial
use in dry interior areas. It is a tool for individual creating batik patterns
on fabric (like cotton, linen, half-linen, etc.) by means of liquid wax. Any
other use is not permitted and can lead to injuries. In these cases the
manufacturer carries no liability. The electric Tjanting tool is used to
apply wax easily on fabric you want to design. After the wax has cooled
down, put the fabric into the batik color (not included, observe the instructions of the manufacturer of the batik color). Areas waxed on the
fabric will remain uncolored. Wax batik is a fabric dyeing process where
areas which are not to be dyed are covered with liquid wax.

Explanation of the symbols
Do not touch the tip of the tool (wax pot) during operation! The tip
is very hot! The same applies for the metallic tool holder as well as
the upper part of the stand. Risk of burns!
Do not emerge the appliance into water and do not expose it to
moisture. Risk of electric shock!
Preparation
Please take your time and read the operating instructions carefully before putting the appliance into operation and keep the operating instructions for future reference.
It is not allowed to change settings or make modications from those set
by the manufacturer. It could be dangerous to change the structure of
the device on your own authority, to remove parts or to use parts which
are not approved by the manufacturer. (If you change the structure of
the device on your own authority you risk e.g. an electric shock, a short
circuit and burns.)

The temperature of the wax pot as well as the liquid wax is very
high during operation! Risk of burns!
Put away the Tjanting tool correctly on the stand, if is on and not in
use (pos. VI).
Important information before start up
• Read the security instructions before putting the device into operation!
• Ensure that the working area is clean, even and dry.
• Before commencing, unpack the Tjanting Set completely and check
the contents.
• The Tjanting tool and the wax pot are not pre-assembled for the initial
start-up. The wax pot must be screwed on the device (see pos. I and
II). To do so, you need a crosshead screwdriver (not included). In Tjanting devices which are operated electrically, the wax is melted directly
in the wax pot and kept liquid at constant temperature. This ensures
constant and steady work.
• When processing multilayer fabrics (working with wax e.g. on the front
side of a T-shirt) we recommend putting a protection ply (e.g. baking
parchment) under the working area. This protection ply prevents unintentional penetrating of the liquid wax on fabric areas which are not
intended for dyeing.

• Furthermore you can protect the working area e.g. with a foil (the fabric
can stick together when applying wax) or you can stretch the fabric
onto a frame before you start working.
• The textiles to be worked on must be clean and residue-free. Particular
care must be paid to new textiles, which must be pre-washed to remove possible residues.
• For this wax batik method, textiles made of cotton, linen and half-linen
are perfectly suitable. We recommend cotton for the rst attempts since the melted wax penetrates optimally into the fabric.
• Liquid wax stiffens fast. For this reason we recommend melting only
the amount of wax which is needed. Unexperienced users should
therefore put just a very small amount of wax into the wax pot at the
beginning.
• Work without interruptions. The applied wax cools down fast and hardens.
• Before you start with the work, try out the device by applying the wax
on a test fabric.
Start-up
• Fasten the wax pot to the device (see pos. I and II). Never screw the
wax pot by force!
• Put the safety stand on an even, clean and dry working area (see pos.
VI).
• Put the Tjanting tool on the safety stand (see pos. VI).
• Fill the wax pot (see pos. IV) with wax pellets (ll approx. ½ of the pot
with wax pellets).
• Make sure that the Tjanting device is placed securely on the stand
(see pos. VI) and plug the jack of the device into the socket (see pos.
III).
• Preheat the device for approx. 6 minutes (the heating time is depen-
dent on the ll-up quantity in the wax pot) until the optimal operating
temperature is reached.
• The optimal operating temperature is reached after the wax pellets
have completely melted in the wax pot.
• The melted wax is applied (see pos. V) on the fabric by means of a
small spout.
• You achieve ideal results when applying the liquid wax, if you only
touch the fabric lightly with the top of the spout. Do not use any pressure. Putting pressure can lead to damages to the fabric and the spout.
• If the wax application is completed and the wax has hardened, the
fabric can be dyed.
• Before coloring, always follow the instructions of the manufacturer of
the batik color. You can obtain batik color and batik wax in DIY shops.
Only clean the surface of the tool tip with a dry cloth or a cleaning eece
(e.g. CFH No. 52349) when it has cooled down. A cleaning eece is
available in many building stores and can be obtained there.

Shut-down
• Put the Tjanting tool on its safety stand as shown in pos. VI (through
improper handling possible risk of burns and re!)
• The wax pot must be put onto the provided safety stand with high attention so that it stays in position.
• Now disconnect the device from the electrical outlet (unplug it).
• Let the Tjanting tool cool down completely.
• The remaining liquid wax can be kept in the wax pot. When the device has cooled down completely, the wax hardens and can be melted
again at a re-startup without any problems.
• If the appliance has not cooled down completely, do not leave it unattended.
• Depending on the ll-up quantity in the wax pot, the cooling-down time
can last up to 20 minutes.
• The environmental temperature has also inuence on the cooling
down time.
• When the completely cooled down device is not in use, store it in a
safe place, protected from dust and moisture.
Tip
• The wax can be removed from the dyed and dry fabric by boiling, ironing with blotting paper or by dry cleaning. Follow instructions of the
dye manufacturer.
• Should the spout be blocked, please proceed as follows: Unscrew the
wax pot of the Tjanting device and put the wax pot into boiling water
for a few minutes. Attention! At this process the wax pot must always
be disconnected from the Tjanting device.
