11. Safety Rules-
• Paraffin wax comes from petroleum products. A side
effect may happen to people with chemical sensitivity
to petroleum-based products.
• If using melted paraffin wax at home, take special
precautions and keep out of reach of children to avoid
serious burns.
• Wipe the unit with a damp cloth before storing. Never
submerge the unit in water or fill it with water. Do not
scrape inside of the unit because this will cause
damage. If wax is difficult to remove, heat the machine
for 10 to 15 minutes first.
