Troubleshooting
Wax is not moving or is stuck at the bottom.
Ensure the lamp has been plugged in for at least 1-3 hours for sufficient warm-up. Check that the room temperature is not excessively cold, as this can hinder wax movement. Verify the G9 bulb is correctly installed and functioning.
Wax is moving too quickly or appears cloudy.
The lamp may be overheating, possibly due to prolonged use or a warm ambient room temperature. Turn off the lamp and allow it to cool. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
Lamp does not turn on.
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into both the lamp base and a functioning wall outlet. Ensure the G9 bulb is properly screwed in and not burnt out. Try a different wall outlet.
Bubbles forming in the wax.
Small bubbles can occasionally form. If they are excessive or persistent, turn off the lamp and let it cool. This is usually a temporary condition.
