Can only assume it is thermastatically controlled, so there may be something wrong with it. Typically though when using paraffin on the feet, the feet are a tad more sensitive than our hands. You may try to dip your finger in it and see how that feels. If it feels too hot to the point of burning I would suggest taking it back and trading for another.

You are welcome. It occurred to me later today that maybe using a meat or candy thermometer could tell at what temp the wax was. Probably shouldn't be over 120 degrees f (sorry not sure what that would in c).
