It is difficult to provide an exact shelf life for Crayola products because it depends on how and where they have been stored. Our products are generally tested on the basis of how they are used, rather than how long they have remained unused. We stand behind the Crayola brand name and will work to take care of any quality issue you may encounter. If you have any further questions, please call (800) 272‑9652 weekdays between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM Eastern Time and a representative will be happy to assist you.
Do you offer helpful tips for using the Crayon Maker?
Let us help with your Crayola Crayon Maker! In addition, the following may be helpful: 1. If the LID IS LOCKED, turn the timer on and let it complete one cycle, approximately 20 minutes. The lid will automatically unlock once the cycle is complete and the timer knob reaches the “unlock” symbol. 2. If the LIGHT BULB IS NOT WORKING, make sure the bulb is screwed in tightly. When resistance is first met, try giving it one extra turn. Then start your unit in this exact order: plug the unit in, turn the switch to the on position, close the lid and turn the timer all the way back. Extended Life or Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs are not recommended for use in the Crayon Maker. 3. Close the lid before turning the timer on. Turning the timer on before the lid is closed will activate the safety locking mechanism which then may not allow the lid to close. Turning the timer should be the last step in activating the crayon making process. If you need additional assistance, please call (800) 272‑9652 weekdays between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM Eastern Time to speak with a representative.
