MELTING THE WAX, cont'd

4. After 5 minutes, slide the locking switch to the right to unlock the lid. Open the
lid and stir the melting wax with a wooden skewer or old wooden spoon. Stir the

wax in a slow circular motion. Close and lock the lid again and allow it to heat
for another 5 minutes. After the second heating, the wax should be totally liquid
and ready for pouring. If the wax is still not ready, stir again and allow to heat
for an additional 1-3 minutes.

5. Once the wax is completely melted and ready to pour, check that the mold is still
securely in position under the valve. Open the wax flow valve by turning it to the
right. A thin stream of wax will pour slowly into your prepared mold. As the wax
nears the top of the mold, close and open the valve just enough to fill but not
overflow the mold. Fill to within 1/4" of the top of the mold. See Fig 4.
Note: If there was not enough wax in the hopper to fill the mold, add more wax,
repeat steps 3-5 and continue filling mold.

6. Turn the thermostat counterclockwise completely to the left (OFF position). Allow the candle to rest and cool in the mold
holder for 20 minutes.

7. After 20 minutes, the mold can be lifted out of the base of the machine. Use a potholder to grasp the side of the mold as
you release the springloading mechanism on the base. Try to keep the mold straight as you lift it out to prevent spills.
Place filled mold on a heat resistant surface to cool. Make sure to keep filled mold out of the reach of children and pets.

Second Pouring:

After the candle cools for another thirty minutes, the center of the candle will probably appear to cave in.
A second pouring of wax will fill this center cavity. Take a wooden skewer and poke a few holes down into
the candle, close to the wick. Reposition the mold in the base of the machine and repeat steps 3-7 again.
You will not need as much wax in the hopper this time, since you are only topping off the cavity in the candle.

Cleaning the Candle Making Machine:

To remove residual wax from hopper, place a disposable container such as an old glass jar that will fit into the springloaded
mold holder on the base. Turn the machine on low to melt any wax left in the hopper. Open valve and pour wax into
disposable container. After all wax is removed, turn off machine and unplug. Allow disposable container to cool before
handling. DO NOT pour liquid wax down drains or garbage disposals as it will cause a blockage. Dispose of wax according
to your state and local regulations.

Unmolding the Candle:

• Allow candle to cool in the mold overnight.

• Remove rubber stopper from the base of mold. Gently pull on the wick holder at the other
end of the mold to loosen and slide the finished candle out. See Fig 5. If the cooled candle
does not slide out of mold easily, GENTLY tap the opened end of the mold against your
kitchen counter several times, using an up and down motion. This should cause mold to
release the stubborn candle.

• The end of the candle that is attached to the wick holder is actually the bottom of the
candle. Untie the wick holder and trim the wick close to the wax, so that the candle can
sit firmly on a flat surface without wobbling.

• Trim the wick at the top of the candle to about 1/2" before burning.

• Due to the viscous nature of hot melted wax the Candle Machine may drip
slightly when the valve is in the closed position while you are melting the
wax in the hopper. This minor dripping will not affect the finished quality
of your candle.

• Be sure to put candle mold with wicking and stopper in place on the base of
the machine before you place wax in the hopper.

• When you carefully remove the filled candle mold from the base of the
machine you may want to place a paper or foam cup or other container in
place of the mold to catch any additional drips of wax.

• If melted wax does get on the base of your machine, allow the wax to cool
and harden then gently scrape off wax drips using a blunt knife or flat toothpick.

PLEASE NOTE:

To Prevent Fire

• Keep burning candle within sight.

• Keep out of the reach of children
and pets.

• Never burn a candle on or near

anything that can catch fire.

instructions carefully. Keep all instruction sheets for future.

• Tie back long hair to keep hair from falling forward and into hot liquid wax.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use. Do not attempt to melt any materials other than wax specified
for candle making purposes or recycled candles with wicks removed. Do NOT use to melt chocolate or other
foodstuffs, crayons, soap or depilatory wax,

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse machine, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

• Be sure appliance legs are assembled and fastened properly. See instructions regarding assembly of leg on page 1.

• Candle Maker Appliance is equipped with a locking lid. Be sure to keep lid in locked position—locking switch
should be all the way to the right-hand postion—when melting wax. (See figure 3 on page 4.)

• Candle Maker Appliance is equipped with a spring-loaded candle mold holder that should ALWAYS be used to
keep mold securely in place during entire wax melting and pouring process. For details of use, see Fig 1 in
Melting the Wax section on page 3 of instructions.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the manufacturer for examination, repair or adjustment.

GETTING STARTED!

Preparing your work surface:

• Select a work area with a heat resistant, level surface near a wall outlet.
A kitchen counter not too close to the sink is a good choice.

• Cover your work surface with cardboard or a few layers of old newspaper to protect it
from dripping wax. Excess wax is difficult to remove once it hardens.

• Keep candle making machine safely back from the edge of the work surface.

• Do not allow power cord to dangle over the edge of the work surface. Before plugging
power cord into outlet, make sure that the temperature control knob is turned all the
way to the left (OFF position).

Temperature control knob:

This control knob turns the candle making machine on and off.

• Afull turn to the left turns the machine off.

• Turning the knob to the right turns the machine on. The more you turn to the right, the higher the temperature will be.

PREPARING THE MOLD

MELTING THE WAX

• Make sure your mold is clean and dry. Never use a wet or damp mold. Dry mold thoroughly!

• Polycarbonate molds will scratch easily. Do not clean with abrasive cleansers, steel wool or anything other than a soft cloth.

1. Thread one end of candle wicking
through the small hole at the base
of the candle mold. Bring the
wicking through the large
opening at other end of mold.

3. Turn the mold over and pull the wicking taut and straight up through the
center of the mold. Check to see that the rubber stopper is still firmly in
place. Rest the wick holder across the top of the mold, finding the small
indentations along the rim of the mold designed to hold the wick holder.
Tie the wicking onto the wick holder to keep it in place. Ideally, the
wicking should be held as taut as possible in the center of the mold.

1. Pull the front part of the spring loading mechanism at the base of the machine
forward. Angle the top of your prepared mold under the valve at the bottom of the
hopper, and fit the mold securely between the brackets of the springloaded mold
holder. The brackets will automatically position the mold correctly under the
valve. See Fig 1.

2. Allow at least three inches of wicking to protrude
from small hole in mold. Firmly press the rubber
stopper into the small hole, keeping the 3" end of
wicking still protruding from mold. This rubber
stopper will prevent the liquid wax from escaping
the mold during the candle making process.

Read all safety instructions before melting wax. See page 2.

Make sure that the temperature control knob is turned OFF as you fill the machine.

The following materials (not included) may be helpful when melting wax:

• Kitchen timer

• Pot holder

• Wooden skewer or old wooden spoon

• Box of baking soda to keep near your work area as a precaution in case of fire.
(See safety instructions on page 2).

3. Close the lid of the hopper and slide the lid locking switch to the left to lock.
Turn the temperature control knob clockwise all the way to the right (highest
temperature). See Fig 3. Allow wax in the hopper to melt for 5 minutes. Use a
kitchen timer to time this process.

2. Make sure that the wax flow valve is turned to the CLOSED position. Open the
lid of the machine and pour wax granules or small chunks of used candles into
the hopper. See Fig 2.
(Note: If using chunks of used candles, remove any old wicking before placing
used candle bits into hopper.) Add wax only up to the fill line.
DO NOT OVERFILL!
