Candle Maker Jug & Stirrer
The 1 litre large jug has been designed to be used with The Candle Maker and fits perfectly into the cradle. The newly designed spout ensures a clean and easy pour. This jug is supplied complete with magnetic stirrer.
Feed in the flakes gradually
Tip your soy wax flakes into the jug and press the flashing start icon on The Candle Maker unit as normal – if you are planning to melt the maximum capacity of 1 litre of liquid wax you will need to feed the wax flakes into the jug as it melts, this is necessary to avoid jamming the stirrer. Do this by filling the jug with wax flakes half to two thirds to the top, press the start button and keep an eye on the wax as it melts, keep feeding more flakes every few minutes.
Approximately 830grams of soy wax flakes will melt to 1 litre of liquid wax.
To use with The Candle Maker | Crafter Edition
If melting the full capacity of wax you will need to run through the initial melt phase at least twice, this is because the unit is programmed to melt up to 500ml of wax to the correct temperature for adding fragrance and you are now melting twice that. Once phase one is complete and the fragrance light starts flashing check to see if all the wax has melted; if not remove the jug wait 5 seconds and then replace on the cradle and push the start button again.
Once the unit reaches the fragrance flashing icon for the second time your wax should all be melted at the right temperature and you can then proceed as normal to the next stage of adding in your fragrance and pressing the flashing icon to proceed.
To use with The Candle Maker V2.0 and The +Plus
You still need to feed in the flakes gradually as above but you do not need to run phase one twice. You press the middle button marked “2” to start large jug mode which automatically runs twice as long. Note that The Candle Maker +Plus is sold with the large jug included.

User features:
The Candle Maker +Plus takes care of the heating and stirring of your ingredients to deliver the perfect candle every time (subject to ingredients and environment). The intuitive display alerts you when it’s time to add ingredients and again when your candle is ready to pour. There’s no rush and no worries, The Candle Maker will guide you through the process and it will even wait for you if you’re busy elsewhere around the house; it’s a very safe and easy way to make great quality candles at home.
The +Plus offers all the ease of the Crafter Edition but with many added features;
- Small batch mode: This mode is the perfect for melting smaller quantities of wax and makes up to 2 medium sized candles in 20 minutes.
- Large batch mode: This mode is for making use of the supplied 1 liter jug to double the batch size. Makes up to 4 medium sized candles in 40 minutes.
- High heat mode: Take the temperature up a notch and easily melt harder waxes such as paraffin, pillar wax and beeswax (results may vary).
- Variable “play” mode. This mode gives you the ability to ‘toggle’ forward and back through the various phases of the candle making process. For example you could use your own thermometer and fast forward when your desired temperature is reached. After starting this mode by pressing button 3 you can press button 3 again at any time to move forward one stage or button 1 to move back one stage. A creative mode where the possibilities are endless!
Specifications:
Power supply: 240V/ 50/60Hz
Plug type: AU/NZ power plug with 1m cable
Watts: 680W
Number of pre-programmed modes: 4
Pre-set “add fragrance” temperature: Modes 1 and 2, 75C | Mode 3 82C | Mode 4 variable
Pre-set “pour” temperature: Modes 1 and 2, 62C | Mode 3 75C | Mode 4 variable
Pre-sets can have a variance of +/- 2C depending on the type of wax, other ingredients you use, and the ambient temperature of your room.
These pre-set temperatures work perfectly with our own wax and also deliver good results with most of the common brands on the market. We display the pre-set temperatures for your information and whilst most wax brands will have differing melt and pour recommendations we encourage you to try our pre-sets first, moving to variable mode if you need to.
Suitable for the following waxes: Soy container wax, soy tart and melt wax, soy blends (including coconut), pillar wax, paraffin, beeswax.
The unit is also designed for adding fragrance and colorants. We also find that it works well with some of the more popular melt’n’pour natural soap bases.
We cannot vouch for the finish of your candle when using ingredients other than our own and we cannot offer technical support for other ingredients; your own testing is always required.
