Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your Wax Melter

1. Safety First

Always unplug the melter and let it cool completely.

Wear gloves to protect your hands from residual heat or wax.

2. Remove Excess Wax

Pour out any leftover melted wax into a disposable container.

Use a silicone spatula to scrape out stubborn residue.

3. Wipe Down the Interior

Use a paper towel or soft cloth to wipe the inner pot.

For tougher wax buildup, gently heat the melter again to soften the wax, then wipe.

4. Use a Natural Cleaner

Avoid harsh chemicals—opt for warm, soapy water or a vinegar solution.

Apply with a non-abrasive sponge to avoid scratching the surface.

5. Dry Thoroughly

Ensure the melter is completely dry before reuse to prevent moisture issues.

6. Exterior Cleaning

Wipe the outer surface and control panel with a damp cloth.

For digital displays, avoid excess moisture.
