While one low-wattage heating element remains on continuously to prevent clogging within the spout, two other higher wattage elements are microprocessor-controlled to maintain 1°C temperature accuracy within the paraffin reservoir. -

INSTRUCTIONS Remove the equipment from the shipping carton carefully. Save the shipping carton and all packing material until proper operation of the equipment is confirmed. Immediately notify the carrier if there is any visible damage to the carton or its contents. Failure to do so may limit your ability to obtain compensation for damage. - Page 8 temperature is displayed in the SET TEMP window. The maximum operating temperature is 60°C. Leave the TEMP/TIME display in the TIME mode for continuous monitoring as a clock, or press the TEMP key to view the actual paraffin temperature. It is not necessary to unplug the paraffin dispenser while not in use for short periods of time, as this will cause any user-defined time clock and chamber temperature set points to be lost.

PRECAUTIONS AND MAINTENANCE • When initially melting a full reservoir of solid paraffin pellets, please allow approximately 3 hours.
