You can also view our useful, interactive “how to” video here
– STEP 1 –
Fill your oil torch using the provided filter, roughly 2/3 capacity with a good quality Paraffin oil. Here we are using Citronella.
On the website we will give you a guide for capacity (and burn time) for each garden oil torch so please check this before filling the oil lamp.
– STEP 2 –
In a clockwise direction screw the provided wick into the lamp.
The wick should be level to its surrounding metal frame or slightly higher if you would like a larger flame.
Leave the wick to soak for about 15 minutes.
– STEP 3 –
To ignite the flame carefully place a long match or lighter to the top of the exposed wick.
You should now have a lovely flame!
– STEP 4 –
To extinguish, simply place the provided snuffer over the flame.
You can wear safety gloves for extra protection.
Leave the garden torch to cool before moving.
