GETTING STARTED: 4-Step User Instructions
Step 1 of 4: Inspect and Rinse the Bottle
Bottle Inspection: Hold the bottle up to a light source and inspect it closely from
top to bottom for any signs of damage, such as cracks or chips. If you find any
damage, however minor, do not use the bottle. Bottle Rinse: Rinse the inside of
the bottle with warm or cold water. No need to dry the inside afterward.
Step 2 of 4: Set the Wick Height
Setting the correct wick height is essential for a well-functioning Belgium bar bottle
candle. Wick Height: Position the wick inside the wick holder so it extends 1-2mm
above the holder. This wick height will produce the ideal flame height of approximately
1.5cm. To adjust, gently push or pull the wick from underneath the wick holder.
Caution: Do not exceed a 2mm wick height, as this may cause the flame to
stretch and produce smoke. Note: Take care not to pull the wick entirely out of the
wick holder when making adjustments.
Refer to the illustration below for guidance.
Step 3 of 4: Placing the Wick Holder on the Bottle
Wick Holder Placement: Now that the wick height is set, place the wick holder
onto the bottle. Ensure it meets these criteria: 1. It sits perfectly flat against the
bottle mouth 2. It moves slightly from side to side on the bottle mouth. 3. The
wick is straight.
Mark the Wick Position
Now that the wick is set to the correct height and the wick holder fits properly on
the bottle, follow these steps to mark the wick position on the bottle: 1. With
the wick holder on the bottle, use a marker pen to draw a mark on the outside of
the bottle, approximately 2cm below the end of the wick inside. 2. Once marked,
remove the wick holder and set it aside.
Refer to the illustration below for guidance.
Final Step. Step 4 of 4: Fill the Bottle with Water and Lamp Oil
Water Filling: Using a spouted jug or beaker, tilt the bottle slightly and slowly fill
it with water. Stop filling once the water level reaches the pen mark on the outside
of the bottle. Filling slowly and precisely will help ensure success.
Refer to the illustration below for guidance.
Lamp Oil Filling
Add Lamp Oil: Drip a small amount of lamp oil into the bottle, leaving
about a 2cm empty space at the top of the bottle neck. Note: A small plastic
spouted medicine cup works well for controlled pouring of lamp oil.
Check Wick Height: Confirm that the wick is set to the correct height within the
wick holder, then place the wick holder onto the bottle. Allow 30 seconds for the
wick to absorb the lamp oil and then light the candle.
Observe Flame: Observe the flame as it stabilises. Adjust if necessary.
Adjust Wick Height (if necessary): Adjust the wick height to achieve the ideal
flame height of around 1.5cm. Note: The ideal flame burns steadily and calmly,
without stretching or erratic movement. Warning: Ensure the wick holder has fully
cooled before adjusting the wick height.
Additional Notes
Empty Space: Leaving empty space at the top of the bottle neck helps the candle
breathe properly and function as intended.
Excess Lamp Oil: If the bottle is overfilled with oil, use a twisted piece of kitchen
roll to absorb the excess. Warning: Dispose of used kitchen roll safely, and keep it
out of reach children, pets, and other animals.
How to Refill the Bottle Neck with Lamp Oil
Prepare Candle: Place the extinguished candle on a hard, flat surface. Remove
the wick holder and set it aside. Refill: Add lamp oil to the bottle neck, again leaving
about 2cm of empty space at the top. Replace Wick Holder: Confirm the wick
height is set correctly and return the wick holder to the bottle. Warning: Ensure
the wick holder has fully cooled before handling.
