Your
Wolfard Flower Bulb may be used as either an oil candle or as
a vase. Especially pleasant groupings can be accomplished by combining
flowers and flickering flames.
The
Wolfard Flower Bulb has been handblown from the finest heat-resistant
glass available allowing it to be cleaned simply inverting them
in the dishwasher. Thorough washing and drying is recommended
when switching between the vase and oil candle use or visa versa.
Make sure it is completely dry inside before filling with lamp
oil for the moisture will cause a crackling or popping noise while
the flame is burning. A filler spout, cotton wicking and wick
holder has been included.
The
properly adjusted flame is approximately the size and intensity
of a candle. The flame size is adjusted by raising or lowering
the wick ion its holder. Be careful not to let any part of the
wick, including threads of frays, protrude from the top of the
holder, or the Flower Bulb may smoke. During the initial use,
or when sampling a different oil, watch the Flower Bulb for several
minutes to make sure the wick is set low enough to avoid smoking.
To lower the flame, blow out the flame, allow it to cool, remove
the wick holder from the Flower Bulb and pull the wick further
down into the holder. Kerosene and other inexpensive lamp oils
should be avoid, because they tend to smoke and have a relatively
strong odor. Solvents of fuels with lower ignition points than
kerosene - such as alcohol, gasoline, paint thinner or acetone
- are unsafe and should not be used. Using the Flower Bulb in
a drafty area or outside may cause the flame to get PUFFY and
smoke. Shielding the flame from the draft will help minimize this.
