– STEP 1 –

Fill the dish in the centre of your gel lamp carefully, roughly 2/3 capacity with a good quality outdoor gel oil. Here we are using Firedragon.

– STEP 2 –

To ignite the flame carefully place a long lit match or lighter so it comes into contact with the gel fuel, taking care not to burn yourself!

– STEP 3 –

Enjoy the lovely glow that your gel lamp now creates!

– STEP 4 –

To extinguish, simply place the provided snuffer over the flame.

You can wear safety gloves for extra protection.

Leave the gel lamp to cool before moving.

Top Tip – The lamp can get rather warm,  so it can be good practice to place a heat resistant mat under your lamp to avoid marks on your table.
