Don’t turn it off by changing
the thermostat setting!
• When cleaning, do not immerse
the Combi in water!
• Never try to speed up the process
of melting wax, the filling of
the urn, or the heating of contents
by turning up the thermostat!
• Check the heating tray water level
every week and add water
if necessary.
• If present, check your timer’s
setting every week.
• Change the water in the heating
tray every three weeks. This will
prevent odours in the candle-
making area. Descale the tray
when you change the water.
• Note, in a logbook, all mainte-
nance-, monitoring- and cleaning
activities, mentioning the type,
by whom they were performed
on which date, the results and
further action to be taken.
Use of the Junior Dipping
Set
1. Fill the dipping canister to the
brim with paraffin granules. Place
the canister into the condensing
ring. Make sure that the water
level is just below the rim of
the canister.
2. Set the thermostat to 70 °C.
3. Paraffin has greater volume in
tablet form than in molten form.
Due to this, you should add
paraffin once or a number of
times, so that the colour canister
remains filled to its ribbed edge.
When doing this the first time,
the heating and refilling will take
around four hours. Never attempt
to accelerate this process by
turning up the thermostat!
4. For dipping purposes, paraffin
should have a temperature of
70 °C. Use a thermometer
to ensure that the temperature
corresponds to the thermostat
reading. You might have to adjust
the thermostat to just above
or just below 70 °C. Example:
if the paraffin’s actual temperature
is 65 °C, set the thermostat
to 75 °C. Check the temperature
again after an hour. Generally,
adjusting the thermostat by
a single measure is sufficient.
5. While you work, wax will spill
into the water in the heating tray.
Don’t remove this wax layer.
It slows down the evaporation
process.
6. Stir the dipping wax regularly
because the heavier ingredients
in the paraffin gradually sink to
the bottom of the canister. After
time, a kind of ‘layer’ will form
in the dipping canister because
of this. Stirring will delay this
process. However, you should
still empty and clean the dipping
canister and replace the dipping
wax three to four times per year.
7. After using the appliance, remove
the plug from the socket. Do not
leave the Junior turned on
constantly, or use a timer. This is
safer and more economical.
8. Check the urn’s water level every
week and add water if necessary.
9. In your logbook, note all
maintenance-, monitoring- and
cleaning activities mentioning
the type, by whom they were
performed on which date,
the results and further action to
be taken.
Use of the Junior Colouring
Set and the Junior Duo Set
1. Fill the dipping canister(s) to
the brim with the correct ratio of
wax and colour tablets (3 colour
tablets per 250 g paraffin). Write
the colour code on the exterior
of the canister and on the lid with
a felt-tipped pen (on a sticker
if desired).
2. Place the canisters in the Junior.
Make sure that the water level is
just below the condensation lid.
Add water if necessary.
3. Set the thermostat dial to
70-75 °C.
4. Paraffin has greater volume in
tablet form than in molten form.
Due to this, you should add
paraffin once or a number of
times, so that the canister remains
filled to its ribbed edge. When
doing this the first time, the
heating to 70-75 °C, filling and
refilling will take around thee
hours. Never attempt to
accelerate this process by turning
up the thermostat!
5. For colouring purposes, paraffin
should have a temperature of
70-75 °C. Use a thermometer to
ensure that the temperature of
the coloured wax corresponds to
the thermostat reading. You might
have to adjust the thermostat to
just above or just below 70-75 °C.
Example: if the paraffin’s actual
temperature is 65-70 °C, set
the thermostat to 75-80 °C.
Check the temperature again
after an hour. Generally, adjusting
the thermostat by a single
measure is sufficient.
6. Stir the melted colour wax evenly.
Molten colour wax must be
stirred regularly. It is very
important to do this just before
use. Use an up-and-down
pumping motion to prevent
a foam layer from forming on top
of the colour wax. Here, the
Gildewerk Combi mixing stick is
a useful aid. If foam still forms
on the colour wax, wait for it
to subside before you colour
candles.
7. While you work, wax will spill
into the water in the heating tray.
Don’t remove this wax layer.
It slows down the evaporation
process.
8. After using the appliance, remove
the plug from the socket.
Do not leave the Junior turned on
constantly. This considerably
shortens the urn’s useful life.
9. Check the urn’s water level before
use and add water if necessary.
10. Remove the water from the urn
when it is not in use. This will
increase the urn’s useful life.
Try to organise candle-making
activities in such a way that
colouring takes place every week
or every two weeks.
11. In your logbook, note all
maintenance-, monitoring- and
cleaning activities mentioning
the type, by whom they were
performed on which date,
the results and further action to
be taken.
Junior maintenance checks
(all models)
• Check the water level on a weekly
basis and add water if necessary.
• Every two months, refresh the
water in the urn, removing the
wax layer at the same time.
• Make sure that the enamelled
interior of the urn is intact.
• Make sure that the electrical cord
does not get crushed.
• Not all maintenance and cleaning
activities in your logbook.
• Do not place any flammable
materials close to the appliance.
These could include curtains, net
curtains and dried flowers.
Cleaning of Junior canister
1. Remove the hot, wax-filled
dipping canister from the urn.
2. Empty the dipping canister,
but leave behind a layer (1 cm)
of residue and sediment.
3. Use a filling knife to remove
the remaining warm, partly set
layer of wax.
