A Belgium Bar bottle candle only needs to be filled with water once.

Each candle/lamp oil refill lasts approximately 5–8 hours.

The cotton/glass fibre wick never needs trimming.

Candle/lamp oil floats on top of water.

Water and candle/lamp oil will not mix.

4 Rules to Remember

1. Always leave empty space at the top of all bottles.
2. Do not set the wick higher than the recommended height.
3. Do not remove the wick material from the wick holder.
4. Do not allow the wick to touch the water inside the bottle.

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. Caution: 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 material 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 4 of 4: Fill the Bottle with Water and Candle/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.

Candle/Lamp Oil Filling
Add Candle/Lamp Oil: Drip a small amount of candle/lamp oil into the bottle,

leaving about a 2cm empty space at the top of the bottle neck.

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 20 seconds for the

wick to absorb the candle/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. 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 breathe properly and function as intended.

Ideal Flame: The ideal flame burns steady and calm, without stretching or erratic

movement.

Pouring Candle/Lamp Oil: For precise pouring, use a small plastic spouted medicine

cup or similar type vessel. The smaller the vessel, the easier and more accurate the pour.

Excess Candle/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,

out of reach children and 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 candle/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.
