Glass Oil Light Instructions
Indoor or Outdoor, Lamp/Candle Oil
We recommend that you avoid inexpensive lamp oils because they tend to smoke and emit a stronger odor. Never use kerosene, alcohol, gasoline, paint thinner or acetone because they are unsafe.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR LAMPOIL CANDLE CAREFULLY.
Please be aware that when you change types of fuel sometimes even brands of lamp oil can damage your wick and reduce the life expectancy of it. It might then be necessary to replace your wick because the fibreglass strands can gum together and no longer absorb the oil efficiently.
The tops of the fibreglass strands should be level with the top of the glass tube, see figure A. If too low, gently push them up if the wick is 5 inches or less. For longer wicks, pull the fibres up very slightly with tweezers.
DO NOT PULL THE FIBREGLASS STRANDS FROM THEIR TUBE.
ALWAYS KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN & NEVER LEAVE A FLAME UNATTENDED.
Filling your Candle
Remove the wick with glass tube from your candle, and insert the funnel provided, holding it loosely in the candle so air can escape as you pour lamp oil through the funnel. Fill oil reservoir to no more than 3/4 full for all oil candles and lamps. Gently place the wick back into the candle.
IMPORTANT: ALLOW ABOUT 30 MINUTES, SO THE WICK CAN ABSORB SUFFICIENT OIL BEFOR E LIGHTING.
Wick too low in the glass tube
Although the wick was properly adjusted before your candle was shipped, you should check it before use. The wicks typically never need to be replaced because they are composed of fibreglass strands, enclosed in a glass tube.
The wick itself does not burn, but draws up oil through the reservoir so only the oil burns off the top.
