Adding essential oils and
insect repellent
You can drop pure essential oils into the liquid wax or
even onto solid wax. The essential oil will evaporate very
gently in the hot wax, creating a long-lasting aroma.
Please use pure essential oils only. Artificial essential oils
can affect and damage the wick fibres and the ceramic
bowl.
We offer pure essential oils that are specially intended
for use in the
Waxburner
, e.g. an effective anti-insect oil.
Extinguishing the flame
The flame is so strong that it cannot be blown out. However,
it extinguishes immediately when the lid provided is placed on
the burner because the supply of oxygen is then cut off. It also
protects against rain, snow and soiling.
De-sooting the wick
The soot that has become stuck to the wick can be scraped off
using a pointed object (screwdriver, blunt knife or similar). You
can safely do this with some force without damaging the wick.
This will unclog the glass fibres that have become stuck together
by soot. You should remove the soot particles that have become
detached. The fibres of the wick should sit freely again after this
treatment and be stringy. After cleaning, reactivate the wick with
a little liquid wax (one tea light full).
