Filtering Wax
•
Place filter cloth (not included) in the metal basket.
•
We recommend using strainer cloth (HH-560 Polyester Strainer Cloth) or another semi heat resistant
filter to filter your beeswax.
•
Place desired amount of wax in the basket, not exceeding the height of the basket.
•
Place the basket in the Wax Melter and use the instructions above for melting the wax.
•
When the wax has melted completely, slowly lift the basket, allowing the liquid wax to filter through.
Caution: Wax Melter and contents will be hot while in use
Always monitor the Wax Melter while in use. Do not exceed warm on the dial. Using higher settings
may result in discoloration of wax.
The flashpoint of beeswax is 400° F (204.4° C
). DO NOT HEAT WAX
TO 400° F
(204.4
° C
).
Melting Wax
•
Set dial to warm; do not use higher settings.
•
Place desired amount of wax in the melting pot, not exceeding the wall height of the pot
•
Allow wax to melt slowly; do not leave the Wax Melter unattended during operation.
•
Melt time may take 30-90 minutes depending on volume and wax properties.
•
The lid may be placed on the Wax Melter to speed up the melting process.
Remove the lid after wax has melted.
•
A thermometer (not included) may be used to monitor the temperature of your wax.
Beeswax will discolor at 185° F (85°C). Different types of wax will discolor at different temperatures.
•
If wax is cooled in the valve, it will cause a blockage. To remove the blockage from an empty pot,
turn the dial to warm with the valve open and place a container to catch the wax as it empties from
the valve.
