How Do I Use Them?

There Are many different styles of oil candle, but they all work pretty much the same way.  Below is a copy of our standard instructions, which also includes assembly instructions for the different designs if required.

In the near future, we will be making the instructions available to download and print off to give to your staff so they always get it right.

Lighting the lamp

Once the candle has been assembled correctly, allow ten minutes for the oil to soak up before for the first time.

Once lit, the flame will take a couple of minutes to achieve its final height, as illustrated in the sequence of pictures below.

If the flame is too large, and produces smoke, you have the wick set incorrectly. Blow out the candle, and allow ten minutes for it to cool down, then return to the beginning of the inctruction sheet and re set the wick at the correct 2mm height.

Re-Filling Instructions

Remove fuel cell from the shade, and then remove wick structure from the fuel cell. Refill lamp as per filling instructions.
