• The pellets will take a total of approx. 10
hours to melt.
Important!

fin level MAY NOT drop below the
MIN level (2,

• Once the paraffin is completely molten, re-
insert the splash protector.
Software control
• The software calculates when the wax will
be ready for use and selects program start-
ing times accordingly, i.e. the paraffin will
definitely be molten when it is required for
the first paraffin step.
