🥇 Safety Rule #1: NEVER Leave Unattended

This is the most critical instruction for using any product involving heat or flame:

DO NOT leave an active wax warmer or lit tealight unattended. Always turn it off before leaving the house, or going to sleep.

📍 Placement Safety

The location of your warmer is key to preventing accidents.

• Stable Surface Only: Always place your wax warmer on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface (e.g., stone, ceramic, or a dedicated warmer plate). Never place it directly on wood or carpet.

• Avoid Flammables: Keep the warmer away from curtains, bedding, paper, decorations, and any other flammable materials.

• Out of Reach: Place the warmer in a location that is inaccessible to children and pets, as the wax and the warmer dish will become extremely hot.

• Avoid Drafts: Do not place the warmer near open windows, air vents, or drafts, as this can affect the warming process or pose a fire risk.

💡 Usage & Operation

To ensure your warmer operates correctly and safely:

• Use Only Approved Warmers: Use only wax warmers specifically designed for melting wax. Never use a stovetop, oven, or candle burner not rated for this purpose.

• The Right Amount of Wax: Only add the recommended amount of wax (typically 1-2 cubes) to the dish. Overfilling can lead to spills when the wax melts.

• Check the Dish: Ensure the warming dish is clean and free of water or debris before adding new wax.

• Avoid Water: Never add water or any other liquids to the melting wax.

✋ Handling Hot Wax

The melted wax will be very hot and can cause burns if handled improperly.

• Do Not Touch: Never touch the hot wax, the warming dish, or the heating element while the unit is on or immediately after turning it off. Allow ample time for cooling.

• Moving the Warmer: Wait until the wax has completely cooled and solidified before attempting to move the warmer.

• Cleaning: Use a safe method (like cotton balls, or gentle scraping once cooled) to remove old wax. Never pour melted wax down a sink or drain.
