Your
candle was created by designer Jon Wolfard. It has been handblown
from finest heat resistant glasses available. The oil candle has
no moving parts, and is rugged enough to be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Durable as the oil candle is, however, please remember it is made
of glass so it is not indestructible.
A
filler spout has been supplied to facilitate filling the fuel
globe. It is designed to fit most one-quart lamp oil bottles.
We recommend Wolfard Lamp Oil, because of its clean burning qualities.
If you have trouble finding Wolfard Lamp Oil locally, any quality
lamp oil, including scented or colored oil, is satisfactory.
Kerosene
and other inexpensive lamp oils should be avoided, because they
tend to smoke and have a relatively strong odor. Solvents or fuels
with lower ignition points than kerosene--such as alcohol, gasoline,
paint thinner or acetone-are unsafe and should not be used.
The
ideal flame for your oil candle is slightly more intense than
that of a traditional candle. The top of the wick should be
just below the lip of the glass wick holder. If any part of the
wick, including threads or frays, protrudes from the top of the
holder, your oil candle may smoke. During initial use, or
when refilling or sampling oils, watch the candle for a few minutes
to make sure it doesn't smoke. If it does, blow out the flame,
allow the oil candle to cool, remove and pull the wick lower down
into its holder.
Wolfard Glassing "hurricane" cylinders of the same glass and cylindrical
style are available separately should you wish to use the oil
candle in drafty breezy locations.
Your
oil candle has a capacity of four ounces and a burning time of
approximately 24 hours.
